It was a weekend of fast things and fake bushes. Friday was a drive to Titusville, Florida for the launch of the Endeavor on STS-127 (Fast thing #1) to the International Space Station. Although it was a grand adventure the Space Shuttle did not launch due to a leak in the hydrogen fueling system.
Saturday was [...]
Last night’s trip to Titusville for the launch of Endeavor on space shuttle mission STS-127 was great fun up until a fuel leak was discovered and the launch scrubbed.
If you do not get tickets for the NASA launch site then the best place is Space View Park in Titusville, FL – http://spacelaunchinfo.com/spaceview.html I met [...]
A hodgepodge of activities this week that started with me finishing the score to a short art film “Uniting States” by Isabel Czerwenka-Wenkstetten and Leslie Fry. While I can’t show you the full project(as it is to be debuted in Berlin) here is the score (there is about 10 seconds of silence at the start):
On [...]
Space Shuttle Atlantis headed off to service the Hubble telescope this afternoon. The afternoon launch while not as spectacular as a night lunch is still beautiful to see. It takes about 45 seconds from liftoff till it is visible here in St. Petersburg. It was exiting to see a crowd gather at the top of The Pier [...]
Tonight’s launch of the space shuttle Discovery was beautiful. This is the third launch that I have seen from about 150 miles away. It takes nearly 30 seconds from the time of main engines light to when it comes up over the horizon.
There was a group of about 100 people that watched the [...]
I have accepted a position in New York City and will be moving to Brooklyn later this week! (You should picture me dancing about bubbling with excitement as you hear those words) For those of you that hadn't heard it is a recent development... less than a week since the offer. So there has been a frantic pace of apartment hunting with this Clinton Hill duplex the front runner: I am also tempted by high rise living.. something about a corner apartment on the 40 somethingith floor of a mid-town building..... So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...
Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...
I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water. I had also forgotten how long it takes for the sun to cross the horizon once the eastern sky begins to lighten. I was ...
