As yet I have not attended a Blast-a-thon unfortunately, though I did get to detonate about 6,700 lbs of munitions all at once yesterday.

You missed a great one last weekend. You should find a good “ticking” wav or mp3 file and use that as the background sound for the website. :)

So, you get to blow stuff up and drive robots! Do you do maintenance and repair on the robots? I'm a software engineer by trade and an electronics hacker by hobby. (Hacker in the good older meaning.)

As for cutting wires, I'm sure my wife and my mother will be glad to know we use as much <a href="http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/mines/i_robot/" rel="nofollow">remote technology</a> as possible.

God bless. Please come back in one piece. Being one of “Brett’s friends” I am tempted to put something like “always cut the green wire first” but I’m sure that’s not at all funny where you are.

I've been meaning to read my copy of "Travels in the Hindu Kush" (or however it's spelled, the book is at home) and now I think I'll get started on it so that I can follow along with your adventures. Love and kisses. Hurray! You’re posting!

I used to blow things up too, but that was [Geeze Mode] yikes, like 20 years ago. [/Geeze Mode] I have a nephew with the Va National Guard nearing the end of a year deployment at Bagram, so all you guys over there are in out thoughts. Glad to see your blog.

Will keep working on fixing the bugs. If you get up to Kabul I would love to see a photo of the Bala Hisar, the old fortress. Glad you got it up and running. Will keep working on fixing the bugs.
