Listen to the nonpoint version (which you can find on Miami Vice OST) of In the Air Tonight.
Well I remember
I remember dont worry
How could I ever forget
Its the first time
The last time
We ever met
Oddly, this is how I feel.
Drunk.
Home early.
Had fun.

Nokia N70
I have had my N70 for three months now.
I have noticed that every time I try to install a game it crashes at least twice before it does anything. The lowest brightness value is too bright (and battery consuming) for use in the darkness (it's a good flashlight, though).
The camera takes a good picture most of the time. If the target doesn't move and is closer than 10 feet. A moving target is a big no-no and preferrably it should be a sunny day. And yes, I know there's a flash. But anyway.
Loading a program takes forever.
The default themes suck.
The cover wears out very soon (my phone lost its "paint" a month ago), the camera cover will get loose at some point (too soon).
So it is:
Expensive and worth shit. Do yourself a favor and forget that you even thought buying it. Instead, go get a Samsung. Or if you really, really want a Nokia, do yourself another favor and choose N73. At least they fixed a few bugs. Or buy a Japansese phone that is an exact copy of N70, but without the bugs.
I hate my phone.
And I hate the 400$ I spent on it.

Good Luck For Your Journey
I wish I was there to see you lift off :)
Oh and I came across to this article when I was trying to find the pictures of the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter. The article is so funny :)
And, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Shakespeare

SAVE HUBBLE!
It has brought us images and information we'd otherwise wait for gods-know-how-long. It has made scientists' life easier for a very long time now and they are just letting it slowly die alone up there. No fixing flight because of a bunch of idiots who sob after people who voluntarely left the ground, knowing they might die. I have had almost a similar talk about the soldiers sent to Irak (they also knew that choosing military career would possibly take them to war).
Hubble was launched in 1990. Its original mission was supposed to last 15 years but the serving time was extended to last 20 years, with a projected end date of 2010. With the cancellation of Servicing Mission 4, Hubble will probably not last that long. The cancellation reason was the Columbia accident.
Scientists and engineers are looking at ways to stretch Hubble's life out as long as possible. Hubble has six gyroscopes. Two are broken and would have been replaced on Servicing Mission 4. Three are working and used every day. One is on standby as a backup gyroscope since 2005, if I remember correctly. The batteries Hubble uses lose their charge more quickly as they get older and eventually the batteries are unable to hold a charge and poor old Hubble becomes inoperable. Hubble will continue to orbit the Earth until they figure out how to safely de-orbit it. Hubble will fall to Earth and crash into the ocean. Thanks for that too, though I love Hubble, I'd appreciate less crap in the ocean.
They are planning to replace Hubble with the James Webb Space Telescope which would be launched in 2013 or 2014. I know JWST's mirror would be six times the one in Hubble, but Hubble is like a grand-dad for me, providing the means for the future. It's a shame it's just going to get dropped down because it's getting old.
If Hubble was designed to fit for instance, Russian equipment, I bet they'd already fixed it because they don't sob-sob-yadi-yada over a few dead people (who again, knew the risks on flight).
And the other poor thingies.. Voyagers are still going out there. I can only imagine what they get to see and experience. I wish I was there with them, just to keep them company :´) I'm glad they're still listened. I know I'm talking silly things, but I just can't stop. If you'd like to have a little moment with these thoughts, go to the Chronology of Space Exploration.
I'm sad I won't be here in 2100 to see what has been found.

My Dream Holiday Spot & Weird Thinking
Don't open the links unless you really want to see the photos. As they belong to someone else than me (I wish I could be there..)
My Dream Holiday Spot would be here.
If you really, really, really think about it, doesn't it make you feel unworthy and small to know that all the stones you see, have been here thousands of years before you and will continue to be after you? Some turtles outlive two humans. Cockroaches are the likely survivors of nuclear war.
The journey to Proxima Centauri (Aka Alpha Centauri C) - the nearest star outside our solar system - would take 160 000 years using the Space Shuttle. In comparison, in 1997 Paleontologists found the so-far oldest fossilized remains of modern humans, the portions of skulls belonging to people who lived 160,000 years ago. Proxima Centauri can't even theoretically support life. The closest sun-like planet is Alpha in the Centauri Triple-Starlet and it's a bit older than ours and if it had an Earth-like planet hanging around it, they'd be at least million years ahead of us in life (or in destruction). This is a little table I found circling in the intahweb:
What if we end up destroying what we have here? Well, we always have Mars.
It will take at least three years to reach Mars. Mercury is close to Sun, but hey, at least it's not made of gas. The probe sent to Mercury will have to travel for over six years. Think back six years.
Look at this and feel insignificant: How beautiful.
