Rare Ammo

A place I found online, Ammo-One, sells exotic and rare cartridges, such as .950 JDJ.  Sweet!

However, they don't have 20mm, probably because it's for Destructive Devices.  Somewhat related, a Federal website (FBO) has "business opportunities" for manufacturing 20mm ammunition.  That'd be sweet to get into....

Gun Parts

In addition to Numrich, another couple gun parts places crossed my path: Poppert's Gun Parts and Amherst Depot.

Targeted Display Mode

Newer iMacs have the capability to display video on the display from an external source.  I picked up a Mini DisplayPort cable and was able to get my MBP to display on the larger monitor.  To switch to external input, press Command-F2 on the iMac.  This requires that the iMac boots normally, however.

Zerocoin

Zerocoin adds anonymity to the pseudo-anonymous Bitcoin.  Sounds interesting, but isn't worthwhile unless adopted.

Chris Kyle

Recently I came across a blog post regarding Chris Kyle and his mythology.  It's quite the convincing piece.  My feeling was that Jesse Ventura was in the right, simply based on the way that part of Kyle's book was written: it smacked of self-aggrandizing.

In any case, he still wasn't the deadliest sniper in the world: that honor still belongs to Simo Häyhä, who had 505 kills in the Russo-Finnish Winter War, and with a bolt-action rifle and no optics!  Sounds like he didn't have a spotter, either.
