Totally off-topic:
60fps and 120fps TV shows and movies just seem…unnatural.

RVs and Wind
On the highway, it’s one thing.
But when you’re living in a 42-foot long, 13-foot high, 14,000 pound house on wheels that’s parked broadside to a 40mph wind, it’s something else altogether.
The good news is that while traveling, these things are under constant gale and quake conditions.
Be careful opening your doors though!
Q&A: Inside the World’s Largest Indoor Farm | Nat Geo Food
If I had the space, I’d feed the world.
Hmm… I wonder if this could be done on a small-scale. Say, a FarmPod… PodFarm? Real containerized farming!
Envision a self-contained farm in a 40-foot shipping container. You know, a bit like how Google was doing with their compute assets?
At 1/100th the size, it wouldn’t be strictly 1/100th the output – but each one could be constructed with a simple dehumidification, filtration, circulation, lighting, heating, cooling and so forth.
What if?
And what if, to expand output, we just add pods?
CamperForce Offers RVers a Way to Work, Play and Travel
The holidays bring a large amount of seasonal jobs that are perfect for RVers, such as Amazon’s CamperForce. Let’s look at what Amazon’s CamperForce is, what the work entails, and the pros and cons of working for Amazon.
Hey, Full-Timers!
This isn’t something that we do – we telecommute full-time – but we’ve heard great things about Amazon’s CamperForce program.
If you RV and you’re looking for some seasonal work as we approach Christmas, check this out!
Another Unlimited Wireless Option?
We reported the other day that Verizon pulled the plug Omnilynx unlimited wireless project.
Obviously, we’re a bit bummed about that – $50/month for unlimited data at LTE speeds was an incredible deal.
The next offerings from the big players – AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile – come nowhere close to unlimited. Very much the opposite of unlimited. In fact, most of them are capped at about 30-40GB/moth and can get obscenely expensive ($400/mo). With some of them, when you reach the cap, they’ll throttle you back to effectively-unusable speeds.
Maybe the days of unlimited data are gone.
Or are they?
Here’s Karma, for ya:
Karma’s another player billing themselves with unlimited data. And for only $50/mo.
It’s not the fastest thing in the world – 5Mbps. But for telecommuters – we full-time, working RVers! – 5Mbps is loads better than 0Mbps. That’s certainly enough for email, browsing, Hipchat, Skype, Google Hangouts and all of the other video-conferencing platforms on which we depend.
We’ve ordered ours and we’ll do a quick unboxing/setup/performance video when it arrives.
Oh, and if you want to sign up for Karma and get your own portable, unlimited (or even one of their less-expensive limited but still quite generous) hotspots, here’s $10 to get you started.
