Forbes FYI for Oct05 also had a custom historical map pointer to artists Constance Brown and Julie Ruff at RedStone Studios to compliment the concept of Vogel Bindery’s custom books.
If you’d like to translate your family or business history into a classical historical map representation, then you can get started for $4000. In addition, they have created some maps of popular areas (Tuscany, Nantucket, Martha’s Vinyard, Costa Rica, and East Africa) for significantly less money.

Forbes FYI for Oct05 had a quick product overview of a small device called StressEraser that retails for $400 (seems pretty expensive, I think that MAKE magazine should come up with a cheaper alternative).
The unit apparently monitors your "blood" pressure via you index finger, and then gauges your stress level. If your level is too high, then it attempts to get you to use breathing techniques to get you back to a better emotional focus level.

Forbes FYI for Oct05 had a potentially interesting pointer to Vogel Bindery that builds custom books and amazing book covers. Not for the cheap though, average price is $1000 each.

During my recent trip to DC, I stayed in the Ballston, Virgina area instead of my typical Crystal City stay.
My hotel ended up being right next to W&OD Trail system. I had some great runs on Thursday and Friday morning (even though I got completely soaking wet on Friday morning).
Make sure you plan accordingly if you visit the DC/Virgina area especially if you are a runner or a biker.
The Crystal City area also has some good access to similar trails. A great resource.

I am guessing that anyone that is a microbrew fan and travels a great deal, is probably quite aware of this problem. At least on the airlines I typically fly, getting a good beer on board usually means having to settle for a Heineken
To make matters worse, on the flight back San Diego from Washington DC on Delta this month they have two great articles in their Oct05 Sky Magazine to make this dilemma worse: Overview of Oktoberfest, and a highlight article on Dogfish Head Craft Brewery.

Before we get to the news, there is a "trailer" for a very special Halloween podcast from FriendsInTech.com included in this podcast. Look for a great fun podcast in your TechNewsRadio.com subscription feed on Friday morning (not this Friday, but the Friday before Halloween).
If you are in the market for an enterprise document management tool then you might want to check out Xythos Enterprise Document Management Suite 5.0 from Xythos Software.

I took the red-eye last night to get some hands-on face-time in DC on Wed, Thu, and Fri. Everybody thinks I’m crazy but I actuallly get some good sleep on the flight, and it makes things work better at home not giving up a full day to get to the East Coast.
Only thing that really sucks is that I’m on the East Coast and tonight’s baseball game isn’t starting in the 5 pm hour but the 8 pm hour … 😦
