Comment: Another example of creative ways people use technology. Seems like
a pretty weird hobby, though. Almost as weird as skulking out into the

the night sky.
News: Cool tech gadgets from Japan -- http://slate.msn.com/?id 67557
Comment: The article points out that people in Japan value, and are much
more willing than most Americans to pay for, gadgets that are novel and/or
compact. Imagine an entire nation of Inspector Gadgets.
News: For the first time in a week, I was out looking at the stars last
night. Terrific views of Lagoon Nebula and Trifid Nebula. Very sharp and
steady. That ETX is really something. But then the clouds rolled in around
11:15. Rats. Looks like we're in for about a week or so of unsteady weather.
