TigerDirect - Good Prices On Electronics

TigerDirect

I've bought a variety of electronic products online from TigerDirect.com and have always been pleased with their service, speedy shipping, huge selection and best of all their competitive prices. It doesn't hurt that depending on the state you are in there is no sales tax on your purchases either.

If you are in the market for a desktop, laptop, camera, hard drive, memory, computer components or other electronic equipment, I'd check them out.

Sweet Dreams of Flying Machines

Natural Aviation Proposed covers Aeronomadics, Skysteading, Earth & Sky Repair, Edible & Compostable Aircraft. It is some super creative thinking, and sort of tongue in cheek, but not really so far out that you can't imagine some things like this coming to pass in the future.

A couple of snips -

"Gourmet Edible Aircraft deliver themselves self-cooked to the hungry. Chitin (from fungus) for tensile fibers and membranes, calcium and chitin for compression tubes, lipid (linseed, walnut, or hemp oil) for moisture barriers, frozen sauce nose ballast, spice paint job, the recipe needs work."

"A Radical Aeronomadic Flight Plan- Pedal your skybike up the east face of the Sierra Madre Oriental, camp, jump into morning slope thermal, ridge soar gulf trades north, hop valleys and coastal plains on thermals, ridge cross early afternoon, late west side lee rotor thermal ridge soar, near-summit land, camp, repeat."


Whoaaa that sounds fun!!!

"Natural Aviation Proposed" is the work of David Santos a bike-riding social activist, artist, writer - from Austin Texas.

Aviation Art

Motoart has some really cool things made from salvaged airplane parts. The first picture is a table made from a 707 wheel, the second table is made from a B-52's engine spinner.
