And here is a video of the newly finished plane at the Vigin Galactic site.
Conditioning and preparation is for sissies
Sometimes when I'm backpacking all I can think of is "boy, I wish I hadn't brought this horseshoe set" or "yikes, whoever packed the rocks in my pack owes me a beer." If only there was a way to lighten the load without having to scrimp on the necessities in life. Fortunately the boys and girls at MIT have been kind enough to develop a product that successfully lightens the perceived load. 
They claim that "exo-skeleton" can take up to 80 percent of the load off of an 80 pound pack. All this while looking that cool?! There must be a catch. Oh wait, there is. Turns out that the giant metal rods make a noticeable impact on your gait. So now you can be as lazy as you want, as long as you're willing to walk like Frankenstein.
Upon further research it turns out their actually developing another product that will actually take 100 percent of the load. Gear-Addicts was fortunate enough to get a spy photo
Forget cheese with your wine
Cheese is delicious. There's no way around that. Not quite as delicious as Dino Nuggets, but still pretty delicious. What goes well with cheese? That's right, wine. CLIF Bar on the other hand, feels that cheese isn't actually the best compliment to wine, CLIF Bars are. Enter CLIF Bar Family Winery. Yes, the folks that bring us delicious energy foods also create fine wines dating back to 2003 from what I found.
And heck, why stop at energy bars and wine? Why not take something else that's completely unrelated? Maybe olive oil for instance. That's right, they make Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO for all you cooking show types) as well. Incredible. Who knows what they'll come out with next. I know I'll be on the edge of my seat until we find out.
Google Walking Directions
One step closer to bike directions but still pretty cool.
If you like this go to this link to help petition for the bike directions.
Screw Hiking. I’m Taking the Jet Pack.
I am interested to hear more about this after it's showing at next weeks Oshkosh Airshow.

No engine brakes here
Everyone seems to have the newest "latest and greatest" energy supplement. Whether Loud Truck has found that supplement or not is besides the point. What we're really looking at here, is the fact that their company is called Loud Truck. Is this a warning about your bodily functions after consuming the Energy Gummies? Or is it a comment to how you're going to feel afterwards? Either way, they're made in the U.S. which is pretty cool. And on the bright side, in case you were wondering how they taste, they tell you on the bottom right side..."Tastes Great!" I'll let you know a little more after the OR show. If during my sampling there are any Loud Truck noises, I'll certainly let you know as well.
It’s about time
Pretty excited about the new development in the Steep and Cheap shopping experience. From what we can tell, as of today SAC has added a new counter to their site. Now you can view exactly how many of each item they have left in inventory. Pretty cool. Knowing that there's only one left of that "wang-doodle-popper-zip-pow" makes the mad dash to the checkout that much more exciting.
