The slate blue color makes it ideal for use in nuclear tape facilities and it is certified for low leachable halogens and sulfur. It also provides sunlight and UV resistance for up to one year without the backing deteriorating or delaminating. This product is especially ideal for applications in the shipbuilding, nuclear power plant and stainless steel industries.

So with that said, they do also have user reviews for the item too.  here are some of my favorites:

When we found cracks in the containment structure, we used to have to shut the whole plant down; then there was a lot of hassle with the nuclear regulatory agency about structural integrity and environmental contamination. With this quality duct tape, that’s all in the past. Now, when we see a cracked or crumbling wall, we just bring out the tape. The slate blue blends right in. I do recommend that you use use double layers for openings near the reactor core.

Is the world coming to an end?

As capitalism collapses around us and society falters, I began to get anxious about what supplies I should have on hand now that the turnips are planted. I was guided towards the 3M Nuclear Duct Tape, bound to be useful when the reactors start melting down, and then saw Amazon’s superb “What Did Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item” list. I was thunderstruck! Of course! In the end times, I’m going to need an electric toothbrush, a Rubik’s cube, and a Swiss Army knife! Not sure the Midnite Minichamp is the one I’d go for, though, it doesn’t have a toothpick, and dental hygiene will be critical in the coming collapse. Maybe I’ll get my Nuclear Duct Tape in red to match the knife, it always pays to look well put-together.

Stay away from this guy!

After a long night of beer and hot wings, I decided to overnight this tape to my house, as I knew what was going to happen.  After the epic birthing of a giant brown monster, I used 3M’s performance plus nuclear tape to seal around the bathroom’s door into the bedroom. To my surprise, my wife and children never did smell what I had to endure.  After 5 months, 29 days, I removed the tape, and I was happy to find no sticky residue left on the door frame.

A tape for every political party, after the end of days of course…

If you’re a nuclear technician and a Democrat, there’s no better high-performance duct tape for your facility than the SLATE BLUE nuclear duct tape.

Maybe not so good for a BBQ?

As I do most Sundays, I was working in the back yard on the grill. Because the dude next door is an Al Qaeda operative and he doesn’t lock his shed, I figured, hey, what the hell, let’s beef up the grill with some bomb grade plutonium. Because I didn’t have anything handy to hold it in place, I stuck it down with this 3M nuclear duct tape. After all, I don’t want my burgers exposed directly to radiation! That seemed like a good idea at the time, but when I threw a steak on the grill, not only was the steak cooked way too quickly, but the gamma rays jumped right through the tape and caused the steak to start glowing. It also tasted funny, so I can’t say I recommend this product at all!

Last but not least, a heart-warming summary of the king of all duct tape…

The tape works. It protected the house from certain doom and its occupants. Don’t tape your whole house if you don’t have time. It might be better to just tape yourself and your loved ones from head to toe.

Are you sold yet?

Need to share a screencast in a hurry?  Have a Twitter account?  Screenr will help you create and share your own mini tutorials from your desktop with the world.  The benefit here is that you can use a web-based recorder, on Macs or PCs to share how to do something or how something might look.

Here is the video tutorial I created, while testing out the service:

Screenr is simply the easiest of the online desktop screen capture solutions out there to use. All you have to do is hit the record button, choose the size you want to record and start capturing.  While I did not, you can also record a video track if you want to do commentary as you record. I like the fact that you can also download the video (as a .mp4 file) or publish to YouTube too.  I wish the video screen was a ‘bit more customizable, but hopefully that will be a feature to come in the future.

Once you are ready to publish, you can instantly share it on Twitter – or wait, and publish it elsewhere first.  You can tell the target for this tool is to be another Twitter companion, however you don’t have to use it that way if you don’t want to.  The developers have kept that part of the equation very free and open.

When push comes to shove, I could see myself using this tool again to create more quick tutorials.  Screenr is simple, to the point, and doesn’t waste your time with fluff.

Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training

Yes!  Finally Link gets his name in one of the Zelda games!  Ok, this one I didn’t have much choice about due to the fact it came with the Zapper itself but I do have to say it is much more fun than I thought it would be.  Having the anticipation that it would just be a demo title showing me “how to use” the Zapper it ended up being an entertaining “pick it up when you have nothing else to do” game.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

I have been a fan of the Resident Evil series, even though this is my first actual game in the series to own.  This game’s controls kind of makes you feel like the Zapper was a second thought (due to the fact you have to move your hand up on top to hit the “A” button a lot.  Other than that it is another cool “on rails” shoot’em up that ends up being very entertaining.

Go through some of the historic places from past Resident Evil games and shoot a lot.  That is this game in a nutshell.

Ghost Squad

Now I am not usually a big fan of the Army/Police first person shooter type games but for some reason this one looked as if it might be a lot of fun.  I have not gotten to spend much time with it yet but from what I have played it looks great.  There are also a lot of side routes you can take so one level never has to be the same twice.  Another great thing about it is you change your weapon type up as you go to suit the situation.  Tons of fun.

House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return

This title, as the name tells you right off the bat, gives you both House of the Dead 2 and 3 to play with your Zapper.

The voice acting in this game is so bad, it’s good.  I’m a big fan of your campy horror movies though.  I missed out both of these days the first time around but now I get to finally see what all the buzz was about.  You would be amazed how gratifying blowing the head off a zombie really is.

Any More Games for the Wii Zapper?

From what I have seen, only other one I’m missing is some army/war game (Metal of Honor?) but that really isn’t my cup of tea.  Know anymore Zapper ready games I should pick up for Wii?

Hewlett-Packard Receipt of Defective

Receipt Date of Defective Product:             05/27/2008

Expected Delivery Date:                        06/05/2008

Now I know from the FedEx tracking code I have that the 27th is when they got my PC to their HQ.  So does that mean I should be getting it back on the 5th of next month and it is going to take over a week to fix?  Maybe I’ll still get lucky and they’ll ship it back by the end of the week.

I love my laptop, but really missing having my PC here too.
