Click picture to watch the full CD experiment video (1m28, 8mb), or check out the best exploding CD here. (6s 2.1mb)  No one of harmed by the experiments, of course, thanks to the fact that on fragmentation, rotating objects break away at a direction perpendicular to their axis of rotation meaning that the entire room was peppered around the CD, but nothing behind or in front of its face could get hit.  Several companies have made the maximum speed CD-Writing standard 48x ( see article ) instead of 52X or higher due to the fact that at 52x the CD is spinning at 10 000RPM and several CDs have been known to explode at those speeds, destroying the drive and some times sending pieces out from the CD tray. The fastest drivers on the market today employ multiple reading heads to achieve twice, or even 3 times the read rate for the same RPM, so until DVDs take over CD drives still have a lot of room for improvements. Just in case anyone is won...

I have noticed recently that heb it comes to cooking my tastebuds rarely scream "NO!" to the concoctions that my mind invents. Now this can turn out ugly, like some of the strange color shakes I have blended after hard rides. They usually contained more veggies than a usuall smoothy, and maybe even some protein powder and any nuts lying around. But sometimes this invention catalyst works out well.  Today for example I prepared a Summer Cajun Turkey Sandwich.  Sunflower Market 9 Grain Bread Pesto Stone Ground Mustard Boar's Head Cajun Spiced Turkey Peperjack Cheese Ripe Alvocado Swiss Chard from the garden Sliced Strawberries  I was skeptical when I made it this morning but it turned out to have just the right combinatuon of spice, sweetness and smoothness. All in all a big throughly satisfying combination for such a small sandwich.   From some horrible processed food comercial back-in-the-day, "Be bold, Be daring!". And maybe give it a shot in your kitchen or t...

Well the cycling chapter of my life has most likely come to an end. I have been tempted by other interests in my life and was no longer willing to put in the training time necessary to ride at the level I was accustomed. So after a long summer decompressing from the last six years of training, I am now happily employed as a snowboard instructor at Copper Mountain, CO. Training for ski school has been a great learning experience and I have found joy in teaching students a new sport. I am mostly teaching students between the ages 6-15, with the occasional 3-5 year old and the occasional adult class. Most of the older students can pickup the idea of the sport in a day, and then only require practice, whereas with the smaller kids it is usually just a battle of trial and error and as long as they are having safe fun then the day is a success. However that is not always the view of the parents, and thus we have to explain that the sport requires fine motor control and independent foot...
