We met "Pogo" at a plant nursery in downtown Frederick, MD,
a most handsome macaw with absolutely nothing to say or repeat. I tried. But I have to add that the bird was perched in his cage on a monstrously hot summer afternoon, and that will sap the energy out of anyone, skin or feathered.
Macaws generally inhabit southern locations, being found in Mexico and Central and South America, down to northern Venezuela. This one, ol' Pogo, is 35 years old and has been living at the Dutch Plant Farm Nursery since its inception, or so
I was told. I was also advised that right around closing time, when all the nursery customers are gone for the day, Pogo is invited to bail from his cage and fly all over the nursery grounds
like a real, in the wild macaw. I found this quite positive and refreshing.
But, more refreshing than that was the occasional spray-down
with a cool water bottle that Pogo received from nursery staff every half hour or so. He seemed to love it and, for a moment, I almost raised my hand to volunteer for a cool spray-down myself. Not sure if they do customers, however. I might have had to sign a waiver or something. For legal reasons. But, on this hellishly hot summer day, in a nursery under roof no less, I would have done it for sure. No question.
Pogo lives up to her name. She is a wild girl who jumps in everywhere without hesitation and goes all out. Cartboard box jumping is her favourite sport.
It started with baskets, then carrier bags, handbags and now plastic bags. Pogo loves everything where she can sit down and be carried around. She also spontaneously jumps into an empty basket while you are carrying it, and then she always wants to be carried around in it. This cat should be in the circus....
Doesn't Amanda look happy with her new pogo stick? ^_^ I had so much fun making it with my father!
Have a lovely weekend everyone <3

The U-2 uses a set of "pogo"s to stabilize the wings (because of the bicycle landing gear system) on takeoff. These have to be inserted by maintenance folks prior to taxi and then set to "fall off" just before takeoff.
Here is my buddy, callsign "Beast", getting ready to takeoff in the DragonLady

Febrovery is almost here! Time to hop on down to the wheel shop and buy some more wheels!
I've been busy judging the entries for the Classic Space Pocket Money Contest 3 and looking at all of that super CS inspired me to build something small and fun.

A record short more than anything else I suppose taken atop a lofty pole behind the new walkway to platform’s 3 and 4 seen in the foreground.

This is an early model of the pogo stick. You remember those? Evidently, Hans Pohlig and Ernst Gottschall modified one of their early designs to include a firefly repository which would allow night pogoing. This was quite an improvement over George H. Herrington's spring stilt and, evidently, is becoming an extreme sport called Xpogo.

My friend Kelvin couldn't resist the temptation of Polapremium's big discount on the "Polaroid Pogo Moleskine Special Edition" and despite the not so good reviews all over the net, I said "count me in" knowing that I will need a real small photo printer for my travel journals. We both regretted on the day we received the package.
The price is amazingly attractive. A PoGo alone costs US$80 to $150, but Polapremium is selling this special set at US$72, you get a free Moleskine too. I love both brands and the packaging is great. The size of it is a little bigger than an iPhone and about double the thickness of an iPhone. The first thing I did was to charge it up but to my surprise the power socket on PoGo is kind of shaky probably because of it not being soldered to the circuit board strong enough by design. The power button on the machine is hard to press and located right beside the USB cable which is very inconvenient. After more than 6 hours of charging, the printer printed 6 photos and the battery indicator became red and refused to print another one. Yeah I know, I was warned about battery life but this is not portable at all.
Print quality.... totally unacceptable. It looks like a result of laser print out (you can actually see the contours of color layers especially in dark areas), but resolution of an inkjet (I know, I'm not able to describe it properly but this is how I feel). You can also see faint white vertical lines every 3mm on the print, not a good sight as a photo. The paper gives you an impression of cheap labels instead of a photo print with glue on the back. I cannot find any information about the acidity of the paper and glue.
I know these are pretty crude comments, considering the amazing zero ink technology by Zink behind this. I think it has great potential, just that both the paper and the machine are not mature enough to give end user a good photo print coz it is natural for us to compare print quality with a lab or a typical photo printer despite high admiration of its technology behind. I love the size, bluetooth printing and pictbridge support. I hate the battery and print quality. For serious photo journaling people, I cannot recommend PoGo.

The Planetary Oil Geology Organisation or POGO was in need of a small vehicle that would enable its prospectors to access the remote, rocky areas of unexplored worlds. The successful spaceship design bureau of Llwyngwril Space Systems was commissioned to come up with this vehicle. Thus continued Llwyngwril Space Systems' seemingly never-ending quest to design a vaguely useful form of surface transport.
What people never realised was that, whilst the spacecraft design office was a quiet, serious studious place, the surface vehicle design team were located in a small shed on the other side of the car park. This was mainly to keep the noise from their wild parties away from the serious people who were creating starships. Occasionally the vehicle designers would stage a night-time raid and place whoopee cushions on all of the chairs in the spaceship design bureau "Because it's there."
