Wherein we ramble on topics of little significance.

2010 is here, and adventure is the only thing for it! Shrinking savings and disapearing careers have a tendency to cramp the adventurer’s style, so in that light we are attempting to have experiences closer to home and easier on the wallet, while still maintaining a quality of adventure. Our first endeavour? Eating out, Japanese salaryman style!

Gentleman Hunter takes over Sergeant at Arms duties as the Gents discuss the art of responsible transportation via gas powered motorcarriages… That’s fancy for cars…
On the Agenda:

2. Open Discussion on Cars, Motorcycles and all things motorized transportation
3. Advice from a Gentleman: Gentleman Hunter suggests always picking the right vehicle for the right job
4. Closing Toast, by all of the Gents

Now, I am not stating that one should carry all of the following at the same time (as that would seriously interfere with your mobility), what I am saying is that these things are invaluable in circumstances when nothing else will do.
I now present the top ten(ish) list of gentlemanly adventuresome accouterments…

I came across this article from CNN the other day, about a company called WiTricity, derived from an M.I.T. research group. They are experimenting with the wireless transfer of electricity. Being the League’s Archivist, I was immediately reminded of one of my very favorite, (not so) mad scientists, Nikola Tesla, and his similar experiments back in 1901.

Oh how I WISH I could take credit for this brilliant piece of video editing. Courtest of whoiseyevan via YouTube, this trailer shows us what might have been if Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston had started busting way back in the 1950′s. Given my love for wise-cracking adventurers, the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road movies, and old time tech, I would really love to have seen Ghostbusters made like this. Take a moment and take a look, it’s quite brilliant.
