Any news from the Martians lately?
They must be fun... Look at what they do with their craters... Even though, or maybe even just because, they know we're watching them... Smile! You're on candid camera...

Finally! I've found my Sancho Panza!
Never would have guessed, but apparently there are people that agree on (some) of the things I say. Not that they know that I say (some of) the things they agree on, but still, it's a start. Here's a little snippet from an article on Wired , written by... James Cameron, yes I know, he's the guy that did the Titanic flick... but that's not important right now. Let's focus on the deeper thoughts of the guy... The last time humans crossed space to a destination was the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. In the 32 years since, no man has seen, with his own eyes, Earth as that beautiful, solitary blue sphere, and - reality check - no woman has ever seen it at all. We've been only to low Earth orbit since 1972, and from that altitude of 220 miles, looking at the 7,900-mile-diameter Earth is like peering at a basketball with your cheek pressed against it. Yes, you'll see curvature, but you're not seeing the whole thing. We've spent 32 years "exploring space&qu
It's a beautiful day...

Yeah, I know, I'm lying... it's an old picture... from Nasa Just wanted to share the geeky coolness of satellite images. Seriously, when can we finally buy a ticket for the Space Shuttle?

Wifi and the future
You know what... I have faith in progress again. Here I am sitting in the middle of Dublin Airport... Wifi! In Ireland! It's an amazing world after all. Furthermore I've found a revolutionizing concept being developed in, of all places, the Netherlands... The PALV is on its way!!! The thing can reach speeds of up to 200km/h, both in the air and on land. You need a 50m take off 'strip' to take off and you can land almost vertically. It takes regular 95/98 unleaded petrol and has an action radius of between 550 (air) and 600 (land) kilometres. Anyway, who cares about the figures. It can take me to work and more importantly back home again in under 5 minutes! Beautiful stuff... I want one. Want to read more? Visit Sparkdesign .
