Scramjet technology is looking good


This weekend I met up with an old friend who worked on the NASA X-43A scramjet and we exchanged notes on flight technology and caught up on old times. Lots of new scramjet applications are in the works and the technology is looking great.

People familiar with the DSTO Scramjet will recall it recently reached Mach 10 and retains potential for further advances.

Flying planes is fun

This reminds me of long trips on aircraft carriers. It's great to see that there's a lot of great flying talent out there.

Abstract communication



Demetri Martin creates comedy by reviving truths obscured by anachronistic linguistical conventions and social dogma that drives people to obediently sleepwalk through life. By defying this mindlessness with deconstructive questions and ridicule, laughter results from the realization that much around us is false and can be made rebuilt to better reflect honesty and sanity.

Critical abstract thought is rejuvinating and this style of comedy is a prelude to philosophy.
