GOLD! GOLD TO AUSTRALIA!

Congratulations to "Aussie" Dale Begg-Smith, the Canadian snowboard dude who now lives in Melbourne, for winning the Men's Moguls in Turin. Dale often has the qualifier "Multi-millionaire Internet Wiz" added to the front of his name. Dale doesn't want to talk about his business.

I don't blame him. Actually, I do. Now I know exactly who to blame. So well done Dale on simultaneously winning Gold and giving those who browse the web, the shits.

Has anyone ever bought an X10 camera?

mogals cause you to pop up while skiing... any connection to other things that pop up?

Yes, I've got several of them keeping an eye on the various buildings I'm responsible for. They worked well enough to catch and convict two thieves who were taking money out of a donation box to play the horses.

One caution however, they are not made for low temperature. Once you get within about 6°C the transmission range drops to almost nothing. For a while I used a small light bulb in a box housing one to make it work outside during the winter but came up with another solution. I haven't tried any of their low light cameras however but if they're as good as the regular ones you should be pleased.
