Yes there are some corny aspects to the show but you should watch a different episode. I recommend the Amazon episode where people are just breaking down and throwing in the towel (if they had one). There are some interesting things to learn by observation. Some of the things I've learned are:

How much I take the following for granted.

Tools

Clothes

Shoes

water

hygiene

shelter from elements and more importantly bugs/animals/wildlife.

how hard it is to hunt with sticks, spears, traps (if you have the knowledge)

how knowledge of plants can ease the prospect of infection/pain.

how quickly your health can go down hill without clean water.

what it looks like when you don't get a proper caloric intake. They do a time lapse at the end of the show.

how fighting with your partner can make a bad scenario get worse. plus a lot more stuff I can't recall at the moment.

editor please fix. Thanks.

Maybe it's for the best. Anything the current President tries to push forward gets a 99.999% chance of opposition. He's taking one for the team by feigning disinterest and this may actually go somewhere. (Yes I am in Dreamland).

The shortage on experienced facilitators is nothing new. back in the day 80's/90's I kept having to explain what 'en passant' was and pull it up in the chess manuals to inform the adults that yes this was a legal move. At least my own chess club facilitator was keen on learning something new and distributed the knowledge to the rest of the club.

1. What is the most unusual location you have written a program from?
Underneath a theatrical stage

No knife, but I think I would have been less scared if had one like the 'possums in this skit . At least the knife won't have rabies

3. What is the most unusual computing platform that you wrote a program from?
The "Whole Hog" Lighting console.

4. What is the most unusual application program that you wrote?"
not an application per se but programming the lighting cycles for a penguin exhibit. Not difficult at all but the need for accuracy was vital.

Phillip Drulliet too. His pieces were pretty trippy and heavily detailed sci-fi inspired work. Think Adam Warlock meets Aliens.

Not that CNN is the most reliable source.. but I wonder if there is any follow up in this debacle - http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/...

Other than the power charging elements.. this doesn't seem too much more complicated than a "hot glue gun sculpture" . Search engine it.

BPA Free water bottles are common place now.

athletic info - heart rate monitor, track over time etc., altimeter, temp barometer readings over time. Also think bi-directional. What info can the phone deliver to my watch. e.g. only forward sms from significant other during outing and display on watch.
