O’ Physical Fitness, Thy Doth be the Bane of the Noble Nerd

Physical fitness is undeniably important, especially in the world of modern convenience we live in. The merits of health such as longer life, less instances of sickness, and increased energy alone make should be able to convince everyone to spend an hour a day engaging in that dreaded activity known as “getting fit.” So why do we see so few intelligent people making certain to keep physical fitness at the top of their list of responsibilities?

skyrim_icon.jpgThe new installment of the much loved Elder Scrolls saga is, perhaps, a bit difficult to review. The reason? It just keeps going, but this is a good thing

In Skyrim, the quests are literally infinite in number. The game engine is designed to keep on tossing out new quests and adventures long after all of the “Core Plotline” quests have been completed. This creates ever-expanding opportunities to explore the vast world, which you will find to be an epic place of struggle, victory, and dragon-slaying heroism.

optima_hd20_thumb.jpgOnce again Optima has raised the bar while lowing the price tag. Similar to the release of the HD 20 which brought the price of 1080 HD Projectors down to a reasonable point for the masses, the HD33 brings 1080p 3d projectors down to a realistic level for the average consumer. Priced at $1,500 as compared to most 1080p 3d projectors above $3,000.  Also similar to the HD20 is the lack of compromise that you have to make for the reduced price.

TECH2 LAKE HOUSE

th-channel7-370.jpgUPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics.  Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon.  Click HERE for a DLINK Live Video Feed with pan and zoom features (userid=user, no password, daylight hours only). 

Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California.  Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967.  The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort.  This summer retreat will host  technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies.  There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete.  For more info, send email to ronald@usa.net, or call 707-995-2683.  To see the latest photos, visit Ron's Flickr gallery.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:

  • Home automation: lighting, security, and entertainment
  • A/V technology for the 500 SF home theater media demo room

Hot News on Cool New Features: The ENTIRE front of the home is made of 21 sliding NanaWall glass panels that fold into the walls, opening the entire home up to the lake during demo days.
