ok... http://www.aladdinpower.com/apStepCharger.shtml is neato. Being a techno-hippie, the idea of a foot powered charger for my laptop is very cool. I wonder how long it'd take me to charge my computer for 2 hours worth of computing?

Perfect for the bunker... 5 years after world war 4... my great grandkids find my computer, an arcane device...

and what will they find, after footpedaling for a while... a backup of myt livejournal, a bunch of stories in progress, some love letters to my sweetheart, and what they'll be most interested in? A copy of age of empires and the sims. ....

in related news - a guy in Toronto has pulled awaprt one of those hand-cranked flashlights and connected it to a low-power Linux-on-a-chip wafer, and created the world's first hand-powered server.

If you're going into a bunker take along my Inside-The-Shell Egg Scrambler. Couldn't live without that.
