Say hello to my new camera!
Well, you can't, because it's not in shot, but this is the first Rachel selfie I've done with my new Christmas present. I went up to Sydney yesterday to try it out, and couldn't resist a few shots of myself. It's excellent for selfies, since its built-in wifi alows me to use my phone to control it - set the focus and various other parameters, and then activate the timer.
Anyway, all that explains the rather strange expression; it's the look of a girl trying something out for the first time :)

Indudablemente la tecnología ocupa gran parte de nuestro tiempo!!!
I do have access to the terrains of Cern, the most technologically advanced Physics research site in the whole world.
Nevertheless, some good old technology remains in place.
At first, I did not try to use it. But in te end, I thought, why not ? So, I took up the phone and ran the number.
He answered. God himself.
And even delivered instantly what I asked for.
A new pair of socks.
una sencilla, ya que creo que esta foto debería ser diaria, ya deben saber que soy adicta a internet... :)

Le besoin pressant d'un univers logique et cohérent est profondément ancré dans l'inconscient humain. Mais l'univers réel est toujours à un pas au-delà de la logique.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense, But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Originally built as an FB.40, A52-19, at the Bankstown de Havilland Australia factory, this aircraft was modified to T.43 trainer standards and allocated the serial number A52-1053. The aircraft was accepted by the RAAF on 6th August 1946, and put into storage before being sold to New Zealand later that year for £3,000. She was given the new serial number NZ2305 and assigned to No. 75 Squadron on 1st April 1947. Seeing little service while with 75 Squadron, NZ2305 was sold to a farmer in North Island in 1952.
The rotting remains of NZ2305 were discovered by a Mosquito enthusiast, and the farmer donated it to MOTAT. The project of rebuilding NZ2305 began there, and the fuselage and wings were joined at the RNZAF Museum in Christchurch, restoration being completed in 2007.
The Mosquito was an important aircraft in RNZAF service, during WW2 and postwar. In total, 76 FB.VIs, one FB.40, four T.IIIs and four T.43s were exported to New Zealand.
While no technological masterpiece, this old egg beater is an obsolete dinosaur by today's standards - these days cakes are mostly made using electric mixers or food processors. But this old egg beater has served me well, having mixed cakes week in, week out when my family was growing up.
I could have taken a shot of the egg beater doing nothing, but thought I should whip up a 'throw it all in together and mix' type cake. The recipe called for the eggs to be beaten with some caster sugar till thick and creamy and then add the rest of the ingredients and combine. Now it's cooked, I suppose I'm going to have to eat it so my efforts aren't wasted.

Almost time of those of us who live in NM to convert from heat to swamp coolers, which brought to mind a technology that's fairly old, but oh so important. The pilot light of our home's furnace.
Caption: The image behind NASA technologist Jacob Englander shows the trajectory to Odysseus, a Trojan asteroid. Englander used his new orbit-determination tool to create the design (not associated with any mission or mission proposal) because a colleague suggested Odysseus was a difficult-to-reach target.

Traveling to remote locations sometimes involves navigating through stop-and-go traffic, traversing long stretches of highway and maneuvering sharp turns and steep hills. The same can be said for guiding spacecraft to far-flung destinations in space. It isn’t always a straight shot.
A NASA technologist has developed a fully automated tool that gives mission planners a preliminary set of detailed directions for efficiently steering a spacecraft to hard-to-reach interplanetary destinations, such as Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and most comets and asteroids.
The tool, the Evolutionary Mission Trajectory Generator “offers a paradigm shift from what we normally do,” said Jacob Englander, a technologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., who devised a concept for his computer-based tool while a doctorate student at the University of Illinois in Champaign. “EMTG will be used, and already is being used, to develop trajectories for proposed Goddard missions that cannot be designed using any other current tool.”

Near Future Technology is our first foray into the slightly daunting world of NFT's and just like us she's unsure of what happens next. Blockchain here we come...
Near Future Technology is available on Opensea here
Barbara was technically just a sophisticated computer program with access to an android body although her programming didn't allow her the luxury of knowing that. She also felt completely heartbroken at the demise of her tamagotchi and her programming definitely wasn't supposed to allow that either. She didn't really have a heart after all.
It was all very confusing both for her and for the scientists who were studying her. She was the first of her kind and was currently confounding all expectations. She would gaze out of the window for hours at a time and would lament at length about her deceased digital friend. How would she cope in this brave new world...
Cheers
