Odds ‘n Sods:

The New York Times reports: N.S.A. Devises Radio Pathway Into Computers. Of course they claim that this isn’t being done domestically, but based on other recent revelations, I have some strong doubts. In fact I’m now persuaded that the dialogue of Edward Lyle (Gene Hackman’s character in Enemy Of The State) was more prescient than paranoid.

My friend Fred The Valmetmeister recommended this eight minute video: M39 Mosin Nagant & 7.62x54R Reloading Update. (BTW, I mention Finn M39s in my novel “Survivors”. These obsolete rifles can be surprisingly accurate with the right bullets. And a few of these rifles are pre-1899 Federally exempt antiques!)

Rob L. mentioned a video that highlights fire safety with handling 9 VDC batteries. (Even “dead” ones.)
