We stayed in an old fire tower atop Bolan Peak nestled around 6200 ft amongst a handful of craggy peaks reaching around 7500 feet. The weather was perfect as we finally experienced summer like temperatures that had eluded us since last September. We knew this past winter produced heavy snows, but were still amazed and delighted to see large snow drifts and plenty of shady area snow pack, both quite unusual this late in the season at our elevation. Understandably, we spent our first morning hiking the ridge line south of the lookout tower sliding down the snow shoots and scurrying through the snow tunnels

Nintendo’s 3DS portable gaming system has only been available in the U.S. for a short time, but it has already sold more than a million units. The 3DS is the first commercial device with a glasses-free 3-D screen and kids, teens and adult gamers alike are flocking to the new device.

But while they love the 3-D illusions, Science Daily is reporting that its three-hour battery life is less than half of its predecessor, the 2-D DS device, which may make some gamers quite unhappy with decreased play time.

But that may change soon, due to some innovative researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They have developed a fundamentally new approach to glasses-free 3-D called HR3D, which they say will double the battery life of devices without compromising screen brightness or resolution. The technique is claiming to also expand the viewing angle of a 3-D screen, which could pave the way to larger devices with multiple users while maintaining the 3-D effect.
