sigh....

Something awesome for Sunday

I went to the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
near Dulles yesterday. It was pure awesomeness. This is a shot of the S4-71 Blackbird that they have parked there. This bird made it from coast to coast in 60 minutes

I believe the appropriate response is...fuck yeah!

I went to the White House Yesterday

Well... actually I wondered around the gardens for a few minutes. The White House was having one of the garden tours. But it was still really cool getting that close to the White House.
Plus I got the bits of outside corridor through which the President would walk from the Oval Office to the Residence on The West Wing. If the geography of the White House in real life matches the one on the West Wing, then the picture below is of the Oval Office as seen through the rose garden.

What ever the case may be it made for a very cool Sunday, especially since I hadn't planned on going to the White House. One Hilarious thing that happened was that I saw a couple of White House interns walking past and they were both talking about Jack Bauer.

Today I don't have work, but tomorrow I start a new assignment with AIPAC for a week. Plus I get back my laptop.

Green Lantern Corps

Any issue that begins with two planets locked in combat can only be the most awesome thing of the week.
Really there is just so much amazingly cool things going on in this issue that everyone needs to go out and get it now , or for those at Big Monkey who didn't get the issue since they sold out...I guess you can wait till the weekend to get it.

The only only thing that would have made the issue even better would be an appearance by my favorite Green Lantern and one of my favorite/ one of the best female characters in comicdom, Dr. Soranik Natu. She was sooo awesome in the last few issues of GL Corps that her presence is sorely missed this issue.

Also I think everyone should appreciate the fact that the picture below is almost the full cast of GL Corps, missing only Guy Gardener Soranik Natu and Sodom Yat.
While about 1/2 of the cast is somewhat hominoid, much of the Lanterns are anything but. I find that cool.

Something even more awesome for Sunday


I had completely forgotten that I had this video on my computer.

Something Awesome for Sunday

While I am back home I went and looked through my collection of TPB's that I had purchased before I went off to college and found:
The Gen 13 Wildstorm Archive: 528 pages, black and white reprints of all Gen13 from the prelude to the first Gen-13 miniseries to issue 13c of the ongoing title, as well as the source book pages on the team. Printed in 1998, years before anyone else thought of doing these phonebook type reprints.

Israeli researchers have developed a time machine?


"NETANYA, Israel — Researchers at the Technion University (Haifa, Israel) claim they have developed a theoretical model of a time machine that, in the distant future, could enable future generations to travel into the past.

The team's findings were published in the latest issue of Physical Review.

"In order to travel back in time, the spacetime structure must be engineered appropriately," explains Professor Amos Ori of the Technion's Faculty of Physics. "This is what Einstein's theory of general relativity deals with. It says that spacetime can be flat. That is " it has a trivial, simple structure. But it can also be curved with various configurations." "

...

""The machine is spacetime itself," Prof. Ori explains. "Today, if we were to create a time machine " an area with a warp like this in space that would enable time lines to close on themselves " it might enable future generations to return to visit our time. We, apparently, cannot return to previous ages because our predecessors did not create this infrastructure for us.""
