What is “Rocket Science”?

John Naughton has an example. The equations for “powered flight of rocket through terrestrial atmosphere with prescribed thrust direction as a function of time, considered as a system of reference rotating with the earth”.

I'm really quite glad I didn't finish my Aerospace Systems Engineering degree.

OK, here I go. I’m going to make this whole website right now on this dry-erase board.

Most creative website I've seen in a long time. Well worth 5 minutes of anyone's time, and I want to read the book now.

So, not only does something I can see from my front room window end up on Neatorama, but the site that they link to (Around The World) is running Drupal.

Of course, now I have to link to my ObSharkPic.

1000!

Yep, this is my one-thousandth flickr picture! Holy crap!

As I saw this milestone approaching I started to agonise about what to take to commemorate the event. After much head-scratching and conferring with friends, I decided a little family portrait was in order.

So here we all are, saying a big thanks to Flickr for igniting a photographic spark in me I didn't know I had.

Right, now that's out of the way I can get on with the normal photostream rubbish *:)
