I mentioned this gizmo once before–back when it was in development–but this stove now appears to be ready for production: The ultimate in low tech meets? The wood stove USB device charger. (Thanks to Geoff S. for the link.)

Bloomberg Reloads Against Guns. JWR’s Comment: These Big City Nannystaters don’t know when to quit. Haven’t they noticed that the crime rates in the U.S. are declining across the board, even as private gun ownership has reached a new high, and while restrictions on firearms carry–both openly and concealed–are gradually being rolled back? Guns in the hands of the citizenry aren’t a crime problem. They’re the solution. It is time for Mayor Bloomberg and his statist cronies to retire to Cuba. (That is, at least those that haven’t already been forced to resign or convicted and sent to prison. The number of members of Bloomberg’s “crime fighting” group that have been convicted of felonies is alarming. And BTW, since convicted felons permanently forfeit their right to own guns (per Federal law , they’ve at least been successful at disarming themselves.)

I heard that Ready Made Resources now stocks RADTriage Radiation Detector cards. These fit in a wallet, or clip on to a badge holder.
