“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
- Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

This cell phone tower stands right accross the road behind our building at work. Needless to say, I have no problem getting a good connection on my cell phone.
339/365 - 21/52
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, or say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to do
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs not nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long black tube
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
God's gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10,000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through the eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....
Sorry for not being around guys, i have been working two jobs and have missed so much i have to catch up with everything. So apologies for not catching up with your messages and work...
I had today free so felt i should catch up with my 52 weeks from missing last weeks theme of Technology. I had originally decided to do something combining man and machine but after thinking about it thought i would try the matrix style portraits i have always wanted to try!
It took a lot of layers to say the least but i think i got a similar effect to what i wanted, only downside it isn't dark enough between the highlights. Anyhoo, i'm pleased with the results despite that and hopefully will improve with practice. Now i have to rush off again and go prepare for more work, i hope i get a break soon! Catch up soon guys and gals! :)

The Teleidoscope - (21/52) Technology
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Teleidoscope is a project that inspires 10 photographers to make 52 photos, one every week.
10 people, 10 different ideas for 52 themes, 52 weeks long.
Every week we will post our images on our site and our Flickr group.
You can join us!
Every saturday we will pick a winner whose photo will get a special extra place at our site!

Candidate ‘green’ satellite propellants within a temperature-controlled incubator, undergoing heating as a way to simulate the speeding up of time.
Today hydrazine is the most common propellant employed by thrusters aboard satellites: it is highly energetic in nature but also toxic and corrosive, as well as dangerous to handle and store. ESA initiated a study with European Astrotech Ltd in the UK to look into greener propellants and propulsion systems, to provide comparable performance with reduced toxicity and handling costs.
The testing investigated the compatibility between a variety of current and future materials and weld combinations with two propellant candidates in detail while checking others as well. By using materials already present in propulsion systems, the aim is to help to reduce any necessary modifications needed, shrinking costs and development times.
An eight-month test cycle became the equivalent of 5.33 years on-orbit by elevating temperature, hunting out for any degradation in the welds, materials and propellants – such as broken welds, material mass loss or etching.
Two green propellants called LMP-103S – flight-tested on Sweden’s Prisma formation flying mission – and HTP – high-test peroxide, previously used in past UK rockets – were shown to have compatibility with up to ten welded materials (while HTP was incompatible with titanium).
The project was supported through ESA’s Technology Development Element, investigating promising innovations for space.
It comes in response to the European Commission’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH) regulation, that seeks to limit industry’s use of chemical substances that may be hazardous to human health or the environment.

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.

Tactical military transport idea, arguably well before the C-17A that we know and love these days.
McDonnell Douglas YC-15A N15YC (72-1875) now preserved at the Edwards AFB West Gate by the Mojave Desert, California.
Only two of these beasts were produced and sadly the other one N215YC/72-1876 was scrapped at one of the Davis-Monthan yards.
