Sat, 17 Sep 2005 14:21:22 -0500

The South Pole Aurora: これこれ、こういうのリアルタイムで見たい。人工衛星データ & PS3の分散処理とかでできないかなー. My t/rusty translator returns the following: "This this, you saw in such real time to be. The satellite data & the distributed processing of PS3 with the kana which it is not possible". Not sure what to make of the "not possible" part of the translation. The video is on NASA's site, which would suggest it's either very real or a simulation of a potential problem. Any English speaking astrophysicists or research agents out there?

US Bombing in Iraq

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 22:20:20 -0500

This is the furthest we'll ever go with violent imagery and this is a very, very rare extreme (I'm still not sure how I feel about posting this); you can not see anyone being killed though its likely many deaths and injuries occurred from this US attack on what appears to be Iraq. (a) Note how an entire city block is instantly disintegrated. (b) Try a frame advance and note the force of debris as it misses the soldiers by inches. [from Fototime served here.
