Although the industry is becoming more digitized, geology still has face-to-face--or face-to-rock--elements: when searching for new frontiers, explorers gather rocks in the field and run chemical tests to determine whether they once held oil; geologists may examine rock shavings on a rig to make sure drillers are hitting the right spot. "When someone spends $10,000 drilling the location you've scouted and makes a well, there's nothing more satisfying than that 'Attagirl' from investors," says Deborah Sacrey, a Houston-based geologist with her own company, Auburn Energy. "It's a huge sigh...
...tingly. After all, it seemed like my ticket for adventure on the wheels-that is, clickwheels-of steel. But it didn't take long before I realized that a) I am not a DJ, and b) it'd be almost impossible to build a fully functioning iPod turntable rig. In fact, it could only be done with Apple's direct assistance, and that probably isn't a priority at the moment.

It's a DLP projector with built-in DVD player and stereo speakers, plus a subwoofer. Videophiles might desire a better, more complicated rig, but I was impressed with the simplicity of the set up and the quality of the movie-watching experience...
...horseback, the warlord had to stand out from the anonymous mass of his footsloggers, archers and pikemen. In full rig, cased like a land crab in the formal armor that was designed to protect him against sword cuts and even the slow-flying lead balls of a matchlock, he was a sight: the armor consisted of hundreds of lacquered leather platelets, like fish scales, bound together with silk cord. But his mask, finial, badge and troops' standard, all in one, was the helmet, on whose design much fantasy and theatrical cunning were expended. Because they were an inviting target...
