In the D concourse. Pretty nice...and free wifi.A nearly sleepless flight, but it allowed me to listen to Portishead (a group i hadn't really spent much time listening to before) and almost a whole GNB concert. :)Some foggy skies here.
Mike and i are sitting in on the recording of the current macbreak show. They have a pretty complex setup.
Man, Mr. Frank really gave it to her on this one. This clip has been on every news and talk show in existence today.
I just installed/upgraded to the latest Snow Leopard. This is pretty much the final version Apple will be releasing in September or earlier. In the video I just go over some of the features and changes I noticed. Enjoy!
How do you know when your building plan has gotten unnecessarily crazy and pretentious? When it's named after a Biblical figure who was fabled to save life as we know it...that might be a clue.
NOAH (New Orleans Arcology Habitat) is a massive, 1200-foot city within a building that's hurricane-proof and can actually float (don't worry, it's tethered to something or other). Conceptualized through a mind trust of three architectural firms, green (wind, solar and water) energies would help power the structure's 20,000 residences, 1,000,000 square feet of commercial space, school, hospital and, just for fun, 3 casinos.

On one hand, this floating triangle seems like nothing less than a feat of modern engineering, a clever idea that's both structurally sound and handy in an emergency. On the other, have we given up so much on New Orleans that architects should abandon existing infrastructure altogether? If culture and way of life are not things we're looking to preserve, then why not just tell residents to move and be done with it?
This seems a little odd.

Yes, I like tech. I like gadgets. I live in the Bay Area -- and like it. I have a cat named GNB. I play Indian Classical saxophone and other creative music for a living.
