Well, I missed it... a Kindle version "boxed" set of all the Harry Potter books was on sale for $15.
It's back to $56 now. I'm posting it anyway, since the internet and this blog are substitutes for actually remembering anything.

Baofeng Tech UV-2501+220: Size Comparison
I'm amazed at how small the UV-2501+220 is. I used to think the Leixen VV-808 was small. The UV-2501+220 is on the top and then the left in the photos below.

PRYME AL-800 Antenna System: Hans (PD0AC) Review
Reports of his retirement from ham radio were greatly exaggerated... Hans posted a review of the PRYME AL-800 Antenna System on the Chinese Ham Radio Equipment Google+ site:
"The PRYME AL-800 antenna system takes a whole new approach to the 'gain problem'. Instead of offering an antenna with a fixed length, the PRYME AL-800 is more of an antenna construction kit.
What you get is a base with a connector of your choice (SMA, BNC) and two antenna extensions. One of the extensions is short and will perform much like any other helical antenna. The second one is a combination of two extendable whip antennas with a loading coil in between. The antenna will be 94,5 cm / 37.2 inches long when fully extended, which includes the base."

A cool infograph of the runners competing in the Marathon Olympic Trials. It is almost unreal how fast these people are.
