Mulching Lawn Mowers - Better than sliced bread
Three weeks ago I purchased a new Troy-Built lawn mower with mulching capabilities. My old lawn mower was still in good condition, but it wasn't designed to mulch the grass. I could either bag the grass clippings every time I cut the grass, or I could leave big clumps of grass on my lawn. I decided...

DICOM Turns 25 (Or, is it 15?)
Of course, if you don’t know what DICOM is, you probably don’t care whether it turned 25 or 15 – unless you’ve had or might need a CT scan, an electrocardiogram, an MRI, some radiation therapy, an X-ray, or an ultrasound exam. DICOM, which stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, is...

Happy “World Trade Week”…
I must admit to not having known that the U.S. Government officially salutes such a thing, ironically first proclaimed by FDR in 1933 during the depths of Depression-era mangled international commerce.

What Could They Be Thinking?
How long before we won’t be able to afford to “fill 'er up” and get to work? How long before the Federal Gov mandates companies begin utilizing telecommuting schemes as a way to limit gasoline consumption and extend oil supplies? Even van pools and buses will be severely impacted if a forecast $12...

The Inflation Specter Cometh
Although the oft-heard complaint " Everything is just more expensive these days " is off the mark (think computers, clothing, etc.), inflation concerns have crept back into the forefront. Even a few members of the Fed's Open Market Committee have piped up about the potential for rising...

Tesla Lives! A Book Review
My electric reading tastes led me to pick up Samantha Hunt’s new novel, The Invention of Everything Else , an attempt of sorts to revive our appreciation for Nikola Tesla.
