The Great Disruption hits Puget Sound hard
Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:39:00 -0700
An entire business model that increasingly powered the American economy has collapsed. It was dependent not only on little understood financial schemes but also on mergers — instead of capitalizing companies that actually made things, especially advanced technological breakthroughs — and unsustainable earnings growth. It was based on debt and consumption.

Four decades after its short run concluded in controversy, Patrick McGoohan's brilliant sci-fi miniseries The Prisoner remains one of television's most influential shows.

Power Ascender: Ballsy Tool Yanks People, Equipment up Walls
Bob Parks Sat, 11 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0000
What it is: Atlas Power Ascender What it's used for: Rapidly pulling people and their gear up the side of a building or canyon The prototype of the Power Ascender was not easy to use. The battery-powered, waist-mounted climbing assistant yanked people up a dangling rope at a blistering 10 feet per second — almost 7 mph — fast enough to snap their limbs back. So Atlas, a company run by four mechanical engineers outside Boston, set the maximum speed to a more reasonable 5 feet per second and added a variable- speed trigger like on a power drill. Now customers — such as US military personnel — simply clip the 25-pound device onto a climbing harness, push any nonbraided rope through the top, and let it fly. Inside the gizmo, a network of grippers scurries up the line and ensures that it threads cleanly out the side. The Ascender's 10-kilowatt output can lift up to 350 pounds, which is no easy task. "Having that much power that close to your crotch is a huge engineering challenge," says Atlas' Bryan Schmid, "and frankly a bit risky." Sounds pretty ballsy. Wired.com
