but I want one of these. This has to be the coolest ideas I have seen in a while.

Some tech gets older and it has to be retired, I know it's true, but it can still be depressing. This story on the retiring of F-14s effects me so. I remember traveling to San Deigo and seeing them fly across the sky. I remember Top Gun and a buddy and I wanting to be pilots someday, though honestly I always liked the F/A-18 Hornet better. I took another path and never felt a loss after my high school days, I had too many good friends and great experiences to ever regret the choices I made. But the Tomcat has so much character I won't help but miss it. It's the gentle reminder of other dreams of an earlier day.

Goodbye dear Tomcat.

Declan has a write up on Senator Kerry and his stand on tech issues in the past. If you are interested in tech issues I'd say it's well worthy your time to see what he has backed in the past it's very eye opening.
