    iOS 6

    Yeah, not happy with that. I've used it several times now, and its easier to use Safari and go to the website than use the app. I think it has to do with how the adds pop up.

    FitBit

    Got one a month or so ago..... Love it. Had a Jawbone Up before that but it only lasted a week before dying. You have to be diligent with food entry, weigh or verify portions, but it's worth it. The calorie counting coupled with the daily goal is nice when trying to manage or loose weight...

    Mars landing tonight

    I'm going to try to stay up for it. 12:30am here, and I have to work tomorrow. It's going to be spectacular one way or another.

    iPad vs. Nexus 7

    I've been using the iPad 3 with Foreflight in the plane more and more. The size is an issue, however typically only when on the ground, and the yoke is making full travel. But my clipboard (8.5") on my right knee also gets in the way sometimes. Otherwise, the bigger screen is very nice to...

    Things You'll Never Hear (or see)

    Well, I just finished up the annual and didn't find anything wrong.

    Was AirVenture lacking something this year?

    I'll second that. Seems like there is an internal uprising within EAA. Had a conversation with some of the workshop volunteers, and they are unhappy with the level of support from the upper levels of EAA. A group that was founded from home builders no longer seems to want to support the...

    Is airventure a good place to buy a plane?

    This +1. Third year in a row Ill be looking. I've ruled out several models, years, and type just by browsing. Talk to owners on maintenance, ease of getting parts, and you can get educated on the typical problem spots of a given model.

    Horizontally Opposed Engines...

    ^^^^. This plus it is balanced from a primary and secondary force standpoint. I believe their is a fore aft rotational moment that's not eliminated..... But my books are at work. Inline 4 cylinders require a balance shaft spinning twice crank speed to eliminate a primary shaking force...

    Beech sundowner or Piper warrior

    Im in the process of joining a club with a Sundowner. After flying a C-172, warrior, Arrow, and (flying in) a Mooney..... I like the Sundowner. Stable, but not as heavy on the controls as the Arrow, roomy, and the range is nice.

    iPad question

    Biggest reason to update would be to get iCloud syncing and the wireless updates from now on. There are a bunch of bug fixes as well. (Some new bugs though)

    Mark I Eyeball (and other way over used terms)

    Hey!, can you look with your Mark I Eyeballs and tell me if you see the Tarmac? I keep hearing the news say something about Tarmac, and geez whiz, I'd like to see it.

    Aircraft Engines vs. Auto Engines

    Automotive fuel injection..... for all the expensive sensors and computing power is basically only controlling fuel and spark. Sure, there are cam phasers, variable valve lift, multi-length intake systems, etc, but these systems are all designed around transient torque. Airplanes have a built...

    P90X

    I did P90X this spring (well 2.5 months of it). I'd recommend following the diet AND exercise routine. I did just the work-outs and attempted to eat better, the results were I trimmed up / lost 10 lbs. It's a commitment and it helps if you have a work-out partner to motivate you. As a...

    Ever wonder what it's like to be beat to death?

    Correction, when we find homeless dogs, we lock them up and if they're deemed too sick, violent, or if the shelter is too full.......they are uthinized. A small percentage is adopted and reintroduced to society. I do not condone this type of violence, but state run mental institutions are...

    [NA]Save ppt to ipad[NA]

    I use it at work for PPTs all the time. I use either GoodReader or the Apple version of power point "KeyNote". With the Apple App, you can drop it from any computer into iCloud and it will sync. Or within an email, tap and hold, then "Open With" either GoodReader or Keynote and it will open...

    What does it cost to repave a runway?

    +1 With practice a 20' runway is sufficient. However, if the asphalt is deteriorating...... do you need asphalt, or would gravel or grass be ok.

    iPad won't synch

    I had Foreflight do this to me twice, so I emailed them a bug report. Got a reply back that "Foreflight" does not dynamically switch between sources (wifi or cell). I think what they meant was that its not controlled within the App, and the download is governed by the OS. Either way...

    iPad "3"... Ugh, which one?

    I got an AT&T one, because that's what I had originally. The tethering has ****ed me off, and now I wish I would have gotten the Verizon. Just sayin
