There is formation flying, then there is the formation flying with the Blue Angels. This video is shot from inside of the cockpit, and it is enough to make you start searching for the barf bag around your desk. I especially like the towers they pass at about 7:10.
The ability to track your power usage via Google, is a perk I am looking forward to. Sure I could write down my meter reading everyday, but lets be honest. Unfortunately rushing into the smart meter era has some very negative side affects. There’s just one problem: The newfangled meters needed to make the smart [...]
