What's happening.

To whom it may concern.  I lost interest in this pretty quick but it seems the bug has me again.  I'll be playing with the format of this for the next little while and then start back up with posts.  Should be something more substantive.  Here's a little something to entertain for a bit.

French supersonic VTOL from back in the day.

French VTOL Mirage III and one of the few supersonic VTOL aircraft ever to fly.

F-22 & F-35 together at last.

Mars Science Laboratory (Curiosity Rover) Mission Animation

For more information on the projects see the link at the end of this post.  This is the kind of thing that I think we need more off.  We need to inspire the next generation to get out from in front of the PlayStation and see what's out in the world.

Bernanke's Impossible Inflation Challenge 2011

The train is headed for the cliff and the engineer driving says, "full speed ahead!"  It'll be "interesting" to see how / if the country comes through the other side.  Frankly, I'd rather live in boring times.

Should be mandatory viewing in US grade school science classes.

Ephemeral Isle

I've added a link to the Ephemeral Isle blog to my list of News & Technology blogs.  It's not really a news or technology blog but a geekfest of a little of both with a good dose of fiction to boot.  Rather than create a seperate section for "other" blogs at this time I decided to put it here.  (Though if I do decide to add more blogs of an entertainment nature I may just create a seperate category.)
