We had very little damage from Hurricane Irene at my house – mostly downed branches. How did you fair?

This looks pretty awesome if it can be made to work anywhere near as well as shown in the promo video. I especially liked its use as a navigation aid.

It remains to be seen how much of a distraction this is from paying attention to what you are doing.

Rick Santorum is partially right and totally wrong when he says “What kind of country do we live in that says only people of nonfaith can come into the public square and make their case?” and “I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”

The Free Exercise clause of the 1st amendment to the U.S. Constitution expressly calls for freedom to practice and discuss religion publicly outside of the auspices of the governing state. His assertion that only people of non-faith can be heard publicly is obviously wrong but they clearly do have the right to be heard – this is where he is partially correct.

But Santorum is totally wrong in that the Establishment clause of the 1st amendment to the Constitution expressly calls for a strict separation of church and state.
