As 2006 winds down I wanted to get one last entry in. I just returned to ENC from a nice Christmas vacation with my family and friends. Thanks to my Mom for giving me a bed and the rest of my family for such great gifts. Thanks also to my friends Bonnie & Justin for another bed while I participated in a quasi-swarm team crash course in network deployment. You may now add ‘networking tools’ to my master wish list.

It’s been an eventful year with my back surgery, recovery (thanks Megan!), and short stint with Target. Starting January 2nd I’ll be busy with a local police academy and applications. Hopefully someone will pick me up when I graduate. Times are rough; but it seems a higher power might just be lookin out for me because things seem to be slowly falling into place.
Merry belated Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Farewell 2006

Tesla Motors, a company out of California, has unveiled their newest electric cars. I must say they have improved drastically..

Features include a 250 mile range per charge, 0-60mph in 4 seconds (eat that Porsche), and fully integrated cockpit with touch screen interface featuring range, GPS, & security features to secure the vehicle or lock it into valet mode and limit range, speed to prevent joyriding. The price is outrageous, starting at 95,000, and climbs up over 100k when you add the bells and whistles.  Over all though the concept it neat and seems to be headed in the right direction for being clean with the future of personal (and hopefully mass) transport.

Take a look at their site - it’s well laid out and to the point.  I’m interested to know though how they solve the problem of stopping during long trips for lengthy recharge sessions.

The chief editor over at Officer.com wrote a good article on the upcoming show Armed & Famous following E-list celebrities thru a police academy.

This new show follows the highly successful CSI franchise, where the world has learned that DNA is routinely extracted from a discarded cigarette butt, analyzed in less time than it takes to plug the latest remedy for erectile dysfunction, and the suspect associated with the DNA located and arrested by people who aren’t even cops, and who only work one case at a time. Hey, if you saw it on TV, it must be true.

..several retread celebrities have been sworn in as reserve officers of the Muncie, IN Police Department.

I’m entering a police academy Jan 2nd; exciting, but dangerous given my former problems.

Megan worked very hard, and today received early acceptance to graduate school today. Out of 100+ applicants, they accept 20.
