News being made in town today
I was heading back to the office today around noon when I noticed two helicopters hovering in the sky. I immediately assumed they were new choppers out of Milwaukee, but I had no clue what they were watching. Then as I drove past the Snap-On Tools headquarters I noticed fire engines and rescue squads in the parking lot and saw some television cameras. However I still had no idea what was going on.
When I got back to the office, someone heard from watching the news that a package was delivered to Snap-On that contained white powder. Details at this time are still sketchy, but I did find this one online mention of it so far. I’m sure I’ll know more tomorrow.
KENOSHA – Authorities are investigating a suspicious package at Snap-on Tools this afternoon after a woman opened it and complained of mild respiratory distress, Kenosha police said.
The 50-year-old employee was taken to the Kenosha Medical Center for treatment. She is in good condition. No other employees reported illnesses from the package, which was sent to the Milwaukee Health Department and the Wisconsin State Crime Lab for testing.The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Kenosha Police Department are investigating the origin of the package.

Cache or RPMs – What would you rather have more of?
I need to buy a new hard drive for my laptop and in shopping I’m seeing 2.5″ drives that have 16MB cache. However they run at 5400rpms. I was going to replace it with another 7200rpm drive, which has a noticable difference in performance over the 4800rpm drives.
So what would you think would be better: 7200rpm with 8MB cache or 5400rpm with 16MB cache?
I would think the 7200rpms would be more benificial, but I would just like someone elses input.
Update: Well, I’ve made up my mind. After posting this I found this article at Toms Hardware, clearly stating that the 7200rpm drive outperforms all others and the Toshiba drives with the 16MB of cache didn’t fair well at all. I can’t wait because the spare drive I’m running on now is only 4800rpm and it is ssslllloooowwwww!
Will it be a crash fest?
There’s reasons I like the Talladega race and there are reasons I don’t like it. I think it provides some of the best racing, but along with comes the stress of knowing that a huge multi-car wreck is just waiting to happen, And it’s not a matter of ‘if’ it’s a matter of when.
I thought yesterdays Busch race was pretty exciting even though there were two big wrecks, one involing Casey Mears going down a long stretch of the front straight away on his roof. Pretty scary stuff.
We’re about a half hour away from pre-race and I can’t wait.
