Learning To Fly
(Pink Floyd)
Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses real
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check
Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
(garbled word) - on
Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
From my observations, come Wednesday, flickrians who choose to honor the bokeh day would mainly opt for flowers as their upload.
So then it leads to a question in my head; why flowers become popular subject to be associated with bokeh? One thing for certain, bokeh can appear in any images for that matter, not just flowers. And the irony is, more often than not, I myself would jump on the bandwagon with flowers for the HBW as well.
I have a theory to make: Flowers are popular because by nature they are mostly beautiful and largely regarded as icon for beauty. With the presence of the blurry effects in the background of an image that we call it as “bokeh”, it provides better contrasts for the in-focus flower in the foreground and thus, it distinctly manifests on its clarity and beauty. Or maybe due to other reasons only psychologists know best.
Frankly, I don’t quite have an answer to it.
Slightly more than a year ago when I first activated my flickr account, I was wondering over a strange word found in others’ photostreams. In the past many years of my life even in my English classes at the university level, I couldn’t recall stumbling upon such word as “bokeh”, let alone using it in my sentence. The only “bokeh” that I knew prior to this was a word in our localized dialect that means “to uproot”. For instance, “Bokeh pohon nyor”, means “to uproot a coconut tree” (An action where a coconut tree is deracinated or pulled out by the roots in an effort to conserve the tree and transfer it somewhere else – or to get rid of it totally)
Well, now I know another meaning of “bokeh”, thanks to Wikipedia for helping me with the meaning of it in photographic term.
HBW everyone!
It's a cheer fortune for us to gain from nature. it is a cycle of learning and unlearning.

Day 219 of 365: "Learning to Ride"
We needed her to have one more growth spurt, before she would really fit on the bike. She had it, so away we go.
Today, not only did I have to bring Jem's earrings back to life, but I also had to put upgraded training wheels on the bike our friends gave us for K before they moved.
She's taking to it pretty quickly!

In the Machine Learning Studio, visitors can use computer vision and machine learning applications to discover how machines learn and perceive their environment. Working with tech trainers, they can build and train self-driving model cars here, program robots with facial recognition, and gain insights into how they can teach these devices a wide variety of activities. Step-by-step, they can experience not only how these technologies function, but also that everything the machines know is determined by us.
The Machine Learning Studio not only offers insights into the hidden inner life of our learning devices—it is also a place where prototypes and objects can be maintained or repaired by the tech trainers, and museum procedures are revealed that are usually kept behind the scenes.

Kite-surfing at dawn. Between a sky and a sea too close to each other for not coming to a fight, there stands a man, alone.
