It’s estimated that by 2011, your heart could call for emergency services if it is suffering a heart attack. Your blood sugar dropping too low? No worries, help is already on the way. The technology involved works much like the bluetooth devices already in use for cell phones, and other personal devices.

Ok, here’s the first of a few Comment and Win posts I will randomly scatter throughout the month of May. You may win something nice, you may win something worthless, but you won’t pay for it, not even shipping in the continental US. It’s on me. All you have to do, is post a comment answering a question or two. Read on for the rules

Here’s what’s up for grabs with this Comment and Win post

What processor was in the first computer you bought or built?

Yesterday morning, a group of five choppers flew over our house and I was able to get a couple of pictures. Click each title to see them…they’re pretty large.
Five at actual distance (yes, that’s my gutter at the side- I put it in the picture for reference..yeah, that’s the ticket)
Zoom of four with weapon mounts and rotor blades visible (one chopper has no weapon mounts)
