I Loves You Porgy

Today is the World Day of Water. I wanted to post something really watery and apt for this day, (such as the Tom Jobim song Waters of March for instance) but I didn't have that kind of water feeling because here it hasn't rained for yonks. But I found this and it is incredibly beautiful, so this is gonna be it then. Emotions can be like water anyway.

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day

Let's celebrate it with a marvellous song from one of the best Irish rock bands ever. Still in Love with You - Thin Lizzy.

Lego space shuttle in space

The 30-year space shuttle era ended when the last shuttle mission was successfully completed last July. A Romanian man, Raul Oaida, commemorated the event by sending a lego space shuttle to the edge of space by a meteorological balloon 'proving that although retired, this machine can still fly, albeit in toy form'. The balloon was equipped with a video camera and now a video about the flight of the toy spacecraft can be seen on youtube. Personally, I think that this video is pure awesomeness. If you are interested in the technological details you can read them under the video on youtube. Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your flight! :)
