3M Worktunes AM/FM & headphone jack (product of the month)

/ Spencer Gould

I’ve been using my 3M Worktunes headphones AM/FM radio & headphone jack for over a month at work around some loud equipment.

I know some people use ear buds under there normal headphones however the 3M product line is a good turn key solution. They offer a bunch of different versions however I liked the combo of AM / FM radio with a conventional headphone jack and 2 AA batteries. Other combos include AM / FM with blue tooth and blue tooth only versions.

The frequency, AM/FM and channel pre sets all have audio feedback from a computerized voice. It’s a nice feature so you don’t have to take them off just to change the channel.

https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/locate is a free web site where you can find close by FM & AM radio stations near you. This can help speed up the process when setting up your presets.

What happened to the X-33 Venture Star? (video share of the month)

/ Spencer Gould

Yet another excellent video from Paul Shillito on the Curious Droid YouTube Channel.

I remember the X33 was all the rage when I was in High School & College. I forgot about it for quite some time.  I never knew what happened to it until I saw this video. It’s surprising that the linear aero-spike technology has not been used in all the new space craft that have been in development over the last few years.
