Swiss Army Knife

I have always had a fascination for Swiss Army Knives, or anything Victorinox. Here is a Rescue Tool that caught my eye. It has tools for breaking a windshield, sawing a windshield, or cutting a seat belt. I am considering getting one for each car.

There's also a nifty Flashlight Card or how about a cool MP3 Player Knife? What will they think of next?

Technology Gone Bad

Snowshoeing is a perfect example of technology gone bad. Just imagine if those companies had applied all that energy and money into products that were fun to use.

Pretty Extreme

Snowshoeing is more extreme than rockclimbing. I mean, it would take something pretty extreme to get me to go slog around in the snow like that.

Uplifting Sports Stories, for a Change

I came across these sports stories yesterday. One is about sportsmanship, the other about role models. These should be required reading for any athlete.

Classic Post

> I am working on a research paper. My topic is: How Do Glaciers Move? Can you please tell me what you know about the movement of glaciers ?

Glaciers feel best when they have one movement per day. Some glaciers do just fine with fewer movements, but when they don't have movements for a long time the result can be quite bad. Glaciers which move much more frequently tend to have loose and soft terminal moraines (also called rock piles).

Glacial movement is almost always associated with the release of water. But sometimes glaciers release water without experiencing a movement. — Mike Garrison's answer.
