Did'nt get to see the blue plane fly...it has a wing span of about six to eight feet from wingtip to cockpit!!! Huge plane!
All the computing activity happens here, with no dependency on
controlling computer or any part of the robot body. It has heavy duty construction and is easily exchangeable, which is useful for upgrades or replacements.
In the past I've taken photos of Tom's and my brothers guitars, so I thought it was time to photograph my own. Here's a couple of photos of my Epiphone Dot which I've owned for about the last 7 years.

From the Behind-the-Scenes Tour around Tower Bridge: Towers, high-level Walkways and Victorian Engine Rooms down to its hidden depths, normally out of bounds to the public...views from the Glass Floor and high-level Walkway, then the original steam engines, accumulators and boilers in the Victorian Engine Rooms...the Bridge’s operational areas including the Control Cabin, Machinery Room and the immense Bascule Chambers, which house the 422-ton counterweights.
Built between 1886 and 1894, the Bridge has spent more than a century as London's defining landmark, an icon of London and the United Kingdom.
A huge challenge faced the City of London Corporation - how to build a bridge downstream from London Bridge without disrupting river traffic activities. To generate ideas, the Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876, and a public competition was launched to find a design for the new crossing.
Over 50 designs were submitted to the Committee for consideration, some of which are on display at Tower Bridge. It wasn't until October 1884 however, that Sir Horace Jones, the City Architect, in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, offered the chosen design for Tower Bridge as a solution.
It took eight years, five major contractors and the relentless labour of 432 construction workers each day to build Tower Bridge under the watchful eye of Sir John Wolfe Barry.
Two massive piers were built on foundations sunk into the riverbed to support the construction, and over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the Towers and Walkways. This framework was clad in Cornish Granite and Portland Stone to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance.
When it was built, Tower Bridge was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed ('bascule' comes from the French word for 'seesaw'). These bascules were operated by hydraulics, using steam to power the enormous pumping engines. The energy created was stored in six massive accumulators, meaning that as soon as power was required to lift the Bridge, it was always readily available. The accumulators fed the driving engines, which drove the bascules up and down. Despite the complexity of the system, the bascules only took about a minute to raise to their maximum angle of 86 degrees. Find out more about this process.
Today, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam. The original pumping engines, accumulators and boilers are now on display within Tower Bridge’s Engine Rooms.

Part of the woods caught on fire at Stony Creek Metropark on April 1, 2010. The green in the background is the prairie area that also burned.
There was a controlled burn of my favorite prairie at the mountain bike trails/Shelden Estates area of Stony Creek Metropark on April 1, 2010.
It looks like some of the fire spread to the woods. I guess that makes it uncontrolled.
An article about the burn appeared in the Oakland Post:

Control House at Gatún Locks, Panama Canal, 1965. Each control tower has a model board of the lock system governed by that tower. Note the wraparound deck, where staff often ate lunch. Approaching at the higher level of the canal.

Heres a blast from the past, 3D screenshots from Half Life 2 in 3D using the iZ3D driver, as many gamers will remember this game was revolution in gaming successfully combing first person shooter with problem solving, exploration, hovercraft , vehicles, awesome graphics, brilliant music, great atmosphere all wrapped in a compelling and absorbing story, and not forgetting of course chopping zombies headsoff with Jigsaw blades, blowing them up with barrels, elements copied in games today.
Now imagine playing this in 3D, you will be hooked all over again. It plays blistering fast with the iZ3D driver even on full settings, at the highest resolution, with total control over the 3D on the fly during game play. As I go through the game I will post iconic screenshots of this awesome game that stole a large chunk out of many poeples lives, mine included.

Control Point One
Built in the early 1950s, Control Point One (CP-1) is located between Frenchman Flat and Yucca Dry Lake. It was built for use during atmospheric nuclear testing and was still in use for the last U.S. underground test in 1991. It remains operationally ready for use today. The purpose of the CP is to provide a secure facility for the people and equipment required for the final preparation, execution, and follow-up of a nuclear test. The main features of CP-1 are: (1) The Department of Energy (DOE) Command Center where the DOE Test Controller and advisors maintain direct communications with many support and advisory organizations; (2) A complete National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather forecasting station; (3) A Control Room from which the count down and detonation signals are sent to Ground-Zero; and (4) Limited housing and feeding facilities for the required personnel
