A slow day

We’ve both got winter colds: so just surfing and reading and sleeping and watching old films on TV… #

Ooh look… another flash animation. #

Tricorder-style A-Life avalanche transceiver that transmits victims “vital signs” through snow. Apparently it can prioritize multiple buried victims according to whether they have air-pockets and are breathing. I Like this bit: “A-Life also lists the victims anonymously … so that rescuers’ emotions and personal attachments don’t get in the way.” So that’s all right then. #
