Making Private and Anonymous Cellular Calls

People have always been tracked and calls always monitored. For most people this is not an issue, but for some it’s a real problem due to the nature of their actions. This article breaks down some simple steps to anonymity if you really need it. The author even goes into a small bit of detail on how calls are tracked. Paranoid, or just curious, about your privacy? You can read more on Kasperky’s blog.

Solar Roadways A Reality

Solar roadways, a path to safer highways and enhanced recreational parks? The concepts are pretty cool, and the added bonus of eliminating many of the expenses cities encounter makes it a win-win. Melting snow without plows or salt, changing a basketball court into a kiddie playground, redirecting traffic due to emergencies (think hurricanes) and visual recognition of something moving across a road? These are all realities on this current project.

This also paves the way for self-driving cars. Data can be transmitted and received via the vehicles computer, read by the road and automatically routed based on traffic conditions. The added bonus of providing a free power source for cities, homes, playgrounds, etc is one way it can pay for itself rather quickly. Wishing I was on the development or deployment team for this project, it has a definite future. Read more about the project here: Solar Roadways – Introduction.

The Best Breakfast Foods for Men

Choosing the right foods at breakfast, or brunch, can sometimes be a challenge. While there are a slew of reports and studies supporting this or disavowing that, sometimes having a bit of help in the decision process is a nice go-to. This recent article

from Men’s Health is a simple quiz to see how well your knowledge of breakfast food choices is. Wasn’t too surprised to see the pizza choice, sometimes a cold slice is welcome when running out the door (just skip the cola). The Best Breakfast Foods for Men | Men’s Health.

Computer aided sniper, 1000-yards using Linux

Most technology begins with concepts or utilization in the military and eventually is adapted to civilian use. The process works both way though, and a new scope utilizing an ARM processor and Linux back-end allows targeting at 1000-yards and a third party visual monitoring interface. This is not only cool, but also very unique by allowing target confirmation when profiling high asset targets. Also it’s application in law enforcement will allow a mobile command to watch in real-time as a sniper takes a threatening target, which may be holding a hostage, and makes a computer aided decision on factors snipers have to judge to reduce any casualties. Wind, distance, moisture, etc all take into account when putting a round downrange. This process is now aided by a Linux based operating system and a low cost ARM processor and fits into a body of a scope. Read the whole story here.
