Rambo 4!

Any Rambo fans out there? I have to say that we're pretty excited about Rambo 4 which is scheduled for release on January 25th. (You can view the trailer here.) Sure, the films are fun, but we're excited because the Recon is in it! We were contacted nearly a year and a half ago from a Hollywood prop company looking for the ultimate in rugged technology and the Reco… Continue

The photo of Nomad in the office aquarium for a half hour had me laughing (besides "Nomad" on the Star Trek original series that Captain Kirk had to point out its fallible logic to destroy itself and Kirk thereby saves the Universe, well at least the Alpha Quad) and I recalled how our surveyor built a custom case with a heater under it to keep the HX-20 ("world's first laptop") warm enough to continue to work in the winter connected by a serial cable to a Leitz Elta-38 in "deep winter" excavations in lower Manhattan off of Whitehall and Broad streets. It finally went on the "fritz" in the high summer humidity of the Hudson Valley in Dobbs Ferry, NY when I guess condensation shorted it out and it started printing gibberish on its little paper built-in dot matrix printer, like those on newer cash registers. No one was near it so it was kind of dramatic. The guy from Zeiss had written the BASIC program for it which I had to change a bit once for a NYC datum, Columbus Circle historically was the 0,0 with all directions from there in positive feet (ENSW) not State Plane or UTM. These new data collectors ( I've used the Sokkia one when it was Sokkisha, SDR24? after the HX-20) sure are spiffy.

Hi Amy,

Mitch's comment is viewable on your "My Page" because he select to respond to you directly instead of adding a comment to his post.

It would have been better to have him repost his response to you in the comment section of his blog. jws (aka yb)

Hi Amy,
Both things are true. In some cases the cost is 50% less precision applying vs. the "shotgun" method. Also micro-nutrients can be added to support the specific crop (soybeans or corn).
