pushing the sky

Yesterday’s total Solar Eclipse as seen from space: Shot from the ISS. That is cool.

Day 1 I saw this girl standing on the opposite platform today, waiting like I was. Almost exactly like I was actually – slouched at the end of day made much too long, iPod plugged into ears, staring off into the middle distance. Day 3 I saw that girl (from a couple of days ago) [...]

Clarkson reviews the Alfa Romeo 159: “The greatest sensation of speed afforded to ordinary man is not on a go-kart or a rollercoaster.

So in the vain hope of trying to put something regular into this blog, I’m going to send out a call for questions. Ask me a question, any question, one question per commenter, and I’ll do my best to answer it. I’ll return with the answers in a week’s time; this gives me time to [...]

The old scepter rises again. You’ve had your patience tested and emptied before, but over time it builds up again, and you, in your forgiving nature, forget that it happened before.
