From talking to him on the phone today, he thinks this is a later stage of the Minuteman missile, not the entire thing. From looking at the Wikipedia article on the missiles, I would have to agree that it is the top stage of the 3 stage ICBM. Still cool to see though.

This was at the Hill Air Force Base near Ogden, UT.

I climbed around inside a C-130 Hercules, which is a cargo/transport airplane that looked like they were using it for parts. It was a wreck on the inside, but it was cool to see how big it was on the inside. It was in the back of the Museum lot, after walking past some F-4 Phantoms that were also being used for parts.

I also crawled around the inside of a HH-3 Jolly Green Giant Helicopter. Being inside aircraft and helicopters at a museum is really unusual. The HH-3 I asked permission, the C-130… well… no one was looking.

My two reasons for coming up this early to the desert to a) get in line and to b) secretly test a new wireless technology. I guess now is a good of time as any to reveal what I’m testing.

Due to gas prices this summer, certain ‘organizations’ have had to explore extreme cost saving measures. One area of exploration is their wireless networks.

My source, who’s playa name is ‘anon-i-mouse’, has been secretly creating a new technology for the last two years. He was going to have some people at high levels of the ‘organization’ test it around the 4th of July, but it wasn’t quite ready yet.

This technology is an implementation of the upcoming IEEE 802.11e standards that have yet to be ratified. I know that the ‘e’ doesn’t correspond to traditional incremental naming schemes – 802.11 started with ‘a’, then ‘b’, then ‘g’ and then apple took it to the ‘n’th degree! Well the ‘e’ got skipped so since this is technically a downgrade in speed and capacity, they chose ‘e’ for economy.

This technology is based on a classified whitepaper written during World War I about the creation of a Carrier Pigeon Relay Service or CPRS for short. My source has finally implemented the technology and is will be releasing the source code to the Java applet called ‘tweatr’ at http://tweatr.org.

How does it work? Well I can’t reveal all the details just yet, look for an upcoming press release. A rough sketch of what i’ve been testing is this:

• open java applet called tweatr
• type in your post
• tweatr then emits longitudinal waves also known as ‘tweats’
• the CPRS then receives these ‘tweats’ via various Field Agents placed in low geosynchronous orbit
• the CPRS then takes care of the rest. Please see Jeff Goldblum’s explanation of geosynchronous orbit in the movie “Independence Day” if you would like to know more about how this technology works.

I’ve posted an artist’s depiction of a Field Agent. You have to understand that we can’t show you an actual picture, because we don’t want to reveal the identity of our Field Agents. Below is the exclusive peek at a Field Agent.
