“Of Gnomon” is a concept remote designed by James Gilbert-Milne.
It addresses the fact that Television remotes are often small and sleek and therefore easy to misplace. At the same time, manufacturers are continuously increasing the number of buttons and functions on the remote making the desired function more difficult to find.
It seeks to change the relationship between the television and the audience. It does so by taking the remote, a tool which is often undervalued and left lying around and increasing the size and removing unnecessary functions to turn the remote into a display piece. This means that it can be placed on a surface and left there.
The juxtaposition of copper, a material from antiquity; and plastic, a modern material, serves to create a timeless object which can be enjoyed and used by anyone. The inclusion of copper also gives an object a sense of greater value as it creates more weight in the object and separates it from the remotes we are usually exposed to.
“Of Gnomon” focuses on ease of use and aesthetics rather than small size and number of functions. In a world where objects are growing increasingly complex and frustrating, this remote provides a serene and gentle relief.

11th Aviation Command Public Affairs
KITGUM, Uganda— When U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Kellyjack Luman needed to inspect growing operations at this remote village in northern Uganda, he relied upon the CH-47 Chinook helicopters from the U.S. Army Reserve’s 11th Aviation Command, a Fort Knox, KY-based unit supporting Natural Fire 10 this month in Uganda.
Check out all the great photos at U.S. Army Africa's Flickr site.
The flight was a first of many for the Chinook aviators, who will airlift supplies and troops around Uganda. Having the 11th Aviation Command at Natural Fire 10 is key, Luman said.
“It’s a really long drive from our headquarters here in Entebbe to Kitgum - we’re talking roughly an eight hour drive,” Luman said. “We’ll move more than 500 people both up there and back, plus supplies vital for life support during the exercise.”
Operating in Africa is an extreme effort for a U.S. Army Reserve aviation unit to undertake, said Maj. Doyle Riley, Company D, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment.
“From dismantling the aircraft in Kansas to transporting our helicopters and gear aboard a Russian aircraft to Africa, then rebuilding the Chinooks at Entebbe airfield and beginning operations a week ahead of schedule – those were monumental tasks we accomplished,” Riley said.
In the cockpit, Riley and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ron Erkie piloted the mammoth two-rotor helicopter through the Ugandan skies. Nearby, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Dwayne McQuade and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jim Hand flew their sister ship alongside, carrying a group of aviators who were learning the air routes North from Entebbe.
Luman and Col. Eric Nantz, U.S. Army Africa’s operations officer, led a site survey team to Kitgum to check on construction of a camp that will house soldiers from Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda , Kenya and the United States during the exercise.
The team also inspected the forward area refueling point, known to aviators as a FARP, where they will land during operations to take on fuel.
Luman stated his firm belief that there is no difference between active and reserve component Soldiers. That said, Luman was impressed to see a stateside Reserve unit tackle the mission with such enthusiasm.
“Getting the aircraft here, ready to go early, assisted U.S. Army Africa staff greatly, allowing us to check out the areas where our Soldiers will live and work,” Luman said. “Without the 11th Aviation, it would have taken two days out of our time to drive there and back.”
Did some ancient civilization, lost in the mists of antedeluvian time, build monuments in these remote valleys, during the periodic warm epochs which the arctic has experienced ????
Well ... No, ... but, the actual geology of this area, peppered as the sediments are with the remains of paleozoic sea creatures, is at least as fascinating as any myth could be ..

Writing code can be so frustrating some times. I spent all afternoon looking for a major error in the CSS I was writing. It turned out I had written "floats" instead of "float." Ugh! At least I figured it out.
We subscribed Dad to Netflix tonight so we can stream movies on our new Apple TV. We watched Law Abiding Citizen. All I could think about was Steve saying how much he loved it -- Steve, it was alright, just alright.
I'm going to go watch Law and Order: SVU now, in all the Apple TV HD goodness!

Only a 30-second shake is all it takes for this remote to produce enough voltage to change channels 70 times. This product, developed by Intro to Engineering students, will reduce the need for the 3 billion batteries that Americans use in their homes each year.

My interpretation of Remote for the scavenger hunt.
I spelt my name and this wasn't even all the remotes we had!
Funny how I can now think that something advertising "24 Hour Remote Video Recording" can be an "old sign"!

A pair of Remote Control high hood GP38-2 works a cut of cars at NS Andrews Yard for train E13, that departs later that evening. With NS changing all high hoods to slugs or admiral cabs, scenes like this will be a distant memory in the near future.
The remote infrered camera is proving so successful in wildlife surveys that it may well make traditional trapping and use of 'hair tubes' redundant.

This beautiful owner-built home located in the trees just above Okeover Arm, is an off-grid structure. It's power needs are supplied by a combination of micro hydro and solar. Water is drawn from a well.
