Slydial Lets You Avoid Awkard Calls, Go Straight To Voicemail
It's Friday night, you've got a blind date in an hour, and the last thing you want to do is make small talk with a stranger. You'd like nothing more to cancel, but there's no easy to do it. Text messages and emails are out of the question - they're too cold and impersonal, especially with so little notice. So you call, hoping with every ounce of your soul that the message will go to voicemail. Of course they pick up after one ring, and a hopelessly clumsy conversation ensues.
Slydial, a new service from MobileSphere, is looking to offer users a way to avoid this situation. The service allows users to call any mobile line and go directly to voicemail, without the awkward conversation. Their phone will actually display a missed call from your original number, but they won't have a chance to answer it.
To use the service, dial 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425), and enter your contact's number (note: this isn't a toll-free call). Slydial works with all US wireless carriers, and users can make the initial call from either landlines or mobile phones. And, if you really hate talking to people, you can make an account on the company's website and use a contact list to leave voice messages from your computer.
Slydial seems like a service that is ripe for abuse, but it's still great to have (I just saved it to my contacts list). Sure, it's devious and impersonal, but at least it isn't a text message. And voicemail is dead anyway, isn't it?

First time camping with the fam.
My ladies and I went to Hickory Run State Park last weekend for our first camping together. We did all your regular camping things: tent -check, fire -check, marshmallows -check, skunk -check, hiking -check.
Yes SKUNK. Beck and I were enjoying the fire in the pitch dark when I heard a rustling coming quickly toward us. I knew it was headed right for our camp site, so I yelled "HO!" and grabbed a flash light only to shine it on a skunk the size of a labrador. Needless to say I RAN LIKE A GIRL.
My favorite part was the Boulder Field
The field comprises about 16.5 acres, which is 0.026 square miles. The top of the boulder layer is virtually level with the approaching path. The immense weight of the boulders has compressed the underlying soil 12 feet or more.
The boulder field was created about 20,000 years ago during the most recent glacial period. My understanding is that because this was the freeze/thaw line of the glacier, when the edge of it thawed then melted the water trickled down to between cracks of the bedrock and when it froze again cracked into smaller rocks.
Then as heaving occurred as another natural part of freeze/thaw these boulders raised to the top of the earth. How cool is that?

Clever pick up lines
- How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice. My name is _________.- My boys over there bet that I wouldn't be able to start a conversation with the most beautiful girl in the room. Want to buy some drinks with their money?
- Excuse me. My friend over there is a little embarrassed. He'd like your phone number. He wants to know where he can get a hold of me in the morning.

Digiscoping Setup
This is my new digiscoping setup, it's a Canon Powershot connected to a Kowa TSN-1 Scope. This was/is a really cool project and I'm really excited about the possibilities...
The biggest challenge was getting the camera lens to be the *perfect* distance away from the scope lens, the next was to have it be mounted so I didn't have to hold the camera all the time.
The solution? I used a soap bubble plastic tube that I stole from the girls, cut a slit all the way up the side and fitted it over the scope eye and taped it so it was snug. The top (where the lid screwed on) is luckily exactly the same size as the lens of the Canon, so when I insert it into the top it's held perfectly tight. In addition, the black duct tape blocks the ambient light to help avid aberrations in the pictures.
The results? I'll let you decide.
P.S. When the Canon is inserted into the bubble tube, I need to zoom it 3.8x before it will block out enough of the tube to just see the light at the end.
