But how are you going to work on upper body strength?

Half joke, half serious. I've contemplated cancelling my gym membership and working out at home. Strength training at home always seems to come down to way too much equipment.
All you really need is a set of dumbells.

LG Blueray player, HDMI port dies less than 90 days into it. called LG for warranty or RMA, they said we will send you check for 35 dollars if you send us a copy of receipt.

Picked up an ASUS 750ti earlier in the week, really nice card but WTF were they thinking with the 6 pin molex location. Totally screwed up my wire tucked case.

thing is so much fun. it's stout enough to fly outside with a mild wind. in expert mode, it will really move. i can't really flip well inside consistanty w/o crashing, but its easy outside. for about 50 bucks, it's a steal. there's a 80 buck version that has a camera, i'm tempted. this is a great jump from the cheap indoor helicopters that everyone sells and the really expansive quads that are $300 or more.

more than you need, 100m but you'd lose sight of it. there's a vid of a guy flying at a football field at night, from one goal line he flies to the other around the goal posts and back. i cant' find it now though.

So we are allowed to bring dogs in to work and a guy in the office has one of those. Fun to watch the dogs chase it.

Just out of curiosity, how much damage would getting hit with one of the rotors do to someone's hand or a dog's face?

I don't recall seeing anyone or dog getting hit with it, so not sure.

the one i linked will break skin, nothing bad, slightly more than a paper cut. mostly from holding the thing and w/ my other hand giving it power.

If they're hovering and you let them drop to the ground for some reason, the propellers will pretty much be stopped by the time they hit the ground or get to your dog's level. If you have a big dog and he tried to jump up and bite it, I doubt it would even break the skin.

Pulled the trigger on this thing today. I hope it's going got at least 10 years in it before it starts breaking down.
