I don't know that much about the product, and the article seems incomplete, but I know you've talked about the difficulties of charging equipment in areas without a stable power grid; is this something you might be interested in?

That is indeed a cool shirt.  I feel it is missing something though...  maybe he should be screaming NOOOOOOOOO instead of just silently playing polo on an AT-AT.  If I know that genius Lucas, he probably feels the same way.

george would put it under the collar, so you can look the coolest with it popped. he knows what people like as of late.

I came across this awesome site and it is triggering memories that I haven had for a long, long time.  It is amazing how much of this crap I owned or had access to via a friend.

Hells yeah, I got myself an authentic Victor coffee mug today! It is pretty much the best thing that coffee can be put into! 

Victor Insulator is a company that makes ceramic insulators for power and phone lines. As a means of expanding their business, they hit upon using their ceramics machinery to make chinaware. Victor coffee mugs quickly became *the* iconic diner coffee mug of the 1940s onward. They've got the classic slight concave curve to the sides that fit perfectly in your hands. And 'cause they're made by a high-quality ceramics company they're solid, heavy as fuck and near-indestructible.

Victor stopped making the mugs about 20 years ago. You can buy new knock-offs, but they're nowhere near as nice. I've been idly looking in antique stores for an original; today I hit the jackpot.



*edit* Here's a picture of Victor coffee mug. Mine has green accent stripes at the top.

OMG YAIS, I remember going to this one restaurant regularly which used those type mugs.  They are the best for sure.
