Visiting the Air and Space Museum in Washington, and day dreaming watching the aircrafts, rockets, satellites, space stations and other incredible devices hanging from the roof. It may sound cheesy, but it is something incredible for mankind to try and achieve flight and space travel. One of the best TV channels in the US is NASA TV, because they have LIVE retransmission of what is going on in the International Space Station! You can’t beat Space Walk with any Loft, American Idol … !!!

Aircrafts in the Air and Space Museum

As Burt Rutan (between other things, creator of the first privately funded spaceship) mentions it in the following TED video, we have been stagnating in the last decades, it’s time to really move forward on space exploration!

I wish I had all the small GIFS that used to be the landmark for site building…

In Summary: my upgrade to WordPress 2.7 and 2.7.1 has not gone as well as anticipated:

Thumbnails are not working anymore, making it almost impossible to post images on the blog: a big issue for what is mainly a photo blog.
Based on a small web research, this problem seems to be felt by other users: causes could be GD library, incomplete update etc,.. As I am not an expert at all, this means lots of trying in domain I know nothing about, php etc…
aka
it is going to take some times if WordPress doesn’t come with an updated version solving this issue.

So for now, relax and enjoy what you are doing: I recommend http://www.ted.com/ as a supplement to wisely use your time on the internet. Or flickr for pictures http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/?

My girlfriend Barbara tipped me on Finnair latest marketing campaign Early Jack which is really good.

Early Jack

Joe’s boss Jack is away for a trip to Japan, leaving his office wide open for mayhem, and you can take part in it too. Following one of the most funny ad since a long time, you have access to a minisite, including a game with flying tickets as a prize. All you have to do is break loose as much as you can in Jack’s office.

That is until your boss comes back….

Stuck between the flat country and acid green Vosges, with the stock market charts like Himalaya, and “le gratin” in Davos: a little seasonal video to recover (and give me some time to put something new on my blog)
