The scariest video you have ever watched in the name of science

This video contains no special effects, and no fancy stunts. But it will scare the crap out of you. That's because you're watching from a head-mounted camera as an engineer scales an antenna tower over 1,700 feet high.

Created for The Online Engineer site, what this video captures isn't just a thrill ride - though frankly it is that - you also get to see the different parts of the giant antenna. And learn a little bit about OSHA rules, which apparently say that it's OK for people to free climb a tiny pole hundreds of feet in the air with a thunderstorm brewing in the distance. Seriously, when I realized the guy wasn't attached to this pole with anything other than his hands and feet, I almost had a heart attack.

The coolest, most useful app I've used - Tasker for Android

Tasker

Total Automation for Android

How To Get It

There are Direct-Purchase (with a 14 day trial) and Android Market versions.

See the Ordering FAQ if you don't know which to choose.

What Is It ?
Tasker is an application for Android which performs Tasks (sets of Actions) based on Contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined Profiles, or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.

This simple concept profoundly extends your control of your Android device and it's capabilities, without the need for 'root' or a special home screen.

Tasker came 3rd in the Productivity category in the Android Developer Challenge 2.

Take the tour to find out more! Questions ? Try the forum.

Usage Examples
Here are only some of the things you could do with Tasker, it's real power is the flexibility to combine contexts and tasks however you wish.

New Design

Hey, I don't think anyone ever reads this from the actual site, but blogger has a new template designer that's pretty fun. So I made a new design. I wanted to keep it black though so it's not very exciting. :)
