While we try not to keep it too geeky here, because that would be the easiest way to expose what a fraud I am bore you, this little script from John Muehlhausen is too useful to pass over. It lets you, with a tiny bit of Python wrangling, add Iridium paging failover to compliment your existing pager, meaning you'll have pager service anywhere in the world without cresting the 150 page-a-month limit of Iridium-only service.

Of course, you would have to wear two pagers and look sort of dorky, but if you're already telling your computer to page you via a Python script you're probably well past the gadget dork threshold (and good on you).

Oh, and it's not limited to Iridium, either, so you could tweak to support a second terrestrial pager, so that if a message never makes it to the first pager, a second person could be contacted. SNPP is useful stuff.

“Does prize money make for good technology policy?…The idea of prize money as sound space policy received a surprising boost from Washington a few weeks ago when the President’s Commission on Implementation of U.S. Space Exploration Policy officially endorsed the idea. In a 60-page report, the panel made weighty recommendations that included an internal overhaul of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as well as the privatization of much of NASA’s unmanned space program.

Build your own X-Prize Rocket!

Build your own X-Prize Rocket! 05/17/2004 07:27 PM
BoingBoing reader Stefan Jones says,

Model rocket supplier Estes Industries got hammered by the failure of a line of licensed "The Phantom Menace" models. They're starting to appeal to those of us who geek out on real-life rockets again, with eight models based on entries in the X-Prize suborbital rocket competition. The variety of approaches is astonishing. The second page has a mystery model that's obviously Rutan's Spaceship One. I guess some people charge more for licensing than others . . . And -- whoo! -- they're selling a video camera rocket to replace the 8mm Cineroc movie camera that was last offered thirty years ago.
