Why are there some train pictures (old steam engine) on my link blog tonight? Cause I love old trains. Shoot me.

Skip over the first page of stuff and go for the meat. The tech blogs continue amazing me with the quality of info and opinions. Oh, heck, I just posted some photos of a B-17 that’s been buzzing Silicon Valley, too. I love reading blogs. I learn a lot, get experiences I’d never be able to have, get the latest tech news, and keep in touch with my friends.

Dean Haglund is on the ScobleShow. He was pitching his Chill Pak, which keeps your laptop cool while using it in your lap, but after that we had some fun. He’s been in a variety of movies and TV shows, including the XFiles, and does standup comedy. He has an interesting story about what got him to invent the Chill Pak. He was the actor that played Richard “Ringo” Langly. Hear what he uses his Mac for.
