review Power dome

Okay so here is another product review, there are several different brands of this thing, mine is called a power dome it is a combination device for vehicles, it jump starts a car, has an air compressor, light, DC and AC  converter, and a usb port ( for some reason).

Well it works great as an air compressor, and I have seen it jump start a car once, it really does have to have a good charge to jump off a car with it. the light is fine beyond one of the leds already burning out.

the ac converter is what I bought it for the most, I got it for a camping trip where I wanted to have as many amenities as possible since I was working near by at the renn fair and camping out where the rennies sleep. The ac converter is easily over strained, by my laptop. It also hates the cold, which I was using it in November, and it was quite cold, both actions made it have a really loud constant beep sound. from other reviews of this device I have seen it happen with them so I know it is not just mine.

I have not used the DC power supply at all I haven't had a need to power car devices away from my car.

I got this on amazon going for cheaper, 79.99 plus shipping made it come in at just 100 dollars, but they are sold at walmart and all other. it really does look like a rugged device, it just needs a bit more kick to power a laptop, but the battery just left in my car to pump up my tires when needed lasts for a decent while.
I think it is a must have for in the car, just to pump up a tire and jump yourself off rather than looking for a good person to help.

Geocaching

This is an interesting game that if done correctly teaches an interesting set of skills. the idea behind the game is to find a geo cache near your home or near a destination you are taking for that day, I could have probably found many of them out in Cherokee when I went, but I was enjoying the relaxing too much for that. I know there are several geo caches near my house and have thought about making another one near me.
I have only found one geo cache and thats near my wife school it was done by one of the classes there.
what you do is go to the website and download the set of coordinates for the location of the cache and plug it into a gps, which it could also go into a detailed map, you go out search for it on food, the website gives a lot of information for helping you hunt, but most of the information comes from the person that set out the cache and those that have already found it, perhaps given a hint or something to that nature, and there are some code hints in the name some times. then once you get to the given area, since gps isn't completely accurate, you have to look around. which this makes for some skills there, looking for something that is meant to be hidden, like an explosive device perhaps. it gives a slight attempt to make you more aware of your surroundings, more so if you go and look at the site and see how many geo-caches are near your home. it might surprise you how many there are.
if  you don't have a gps, use a map, I first downloaded the app to my iphone and tried it. I had fun dragging the wife through some woods to that one cache and I want to try it again, I still haven't found the one thats at the store near where I work.

new day

I travel a lot, a bit, between my home and my mothers, so I always feel like I am camping out when I am there, I use my phone for my internet access and am paying rent for my apartment while not even there, I also have power and internet there, the only thing that is in constant use from me that I pay for is my phone, and thats something I've been paying for, for nearly 7 years and my second phone I got with this plan was a smart phone, so I've been used to the tech revolution for most of my life, and I had always wanted a computer got one after the other wasn't happy with them till I got my laptop. the ability to travel is awesome, and my phone being my internet completes it. that being said I am to the point that I do not need any new devices, my phone completes it. and iPhone, horrible pun really, I have an iPod and an iPhone that ends my apple devices and I probably would never get a mac computer, and the only reason I like the phone is that its jail-broken.

beyond my tech I use to be online and type right now, I am a gadget geek, and this is rather bad for me, monetary wise. because of this I work towards saving money and not buying my toys and realizing myself that before I got out of high-school, had a job, had money when I wanted something I didn't buy it, I made it from a very overactive imagination.

 I was a Lego kid, I loved building with them, before those Lincoln logs, these are toys that I hardly see advertised anymore and probably toys that kids never play with or learn from anymore, all the toys kids desire are the ones they see in the store and on TV, and the toys I played with were not advertised, but were very fun. ok then slightly went out on a tangent.

I was gonna show ya what knights knife looked like beside mine, since they were made at pretty much the same time but since they were done by two different people and his ideas of what he wanted in a knife and what I wanted, they ended up looking quite different.  because of the poor lighting in the picture they both look rusted, however this picture was taken at the same time as the others in my last post.
