MA-1
Posted Sep 15, 2000
Hm! You know in my MA-1, Flyers intermediate jacket it says it can't be washed.
I just lend it to a girl that was cold and had a long bikeride home (bicycle no motor).
Anyway she washed it and guess what, its like knew again, it smells good and all.
The point is: Don't trust every official looking label you see.

Turned twentyseven
Posted Sep 8, 2000
Well, there I went, I turned twentyseven yesterday.
Its funny how set we are in the ways of our calender, how time as defined by mechanics, rule our thinking to a degree where we are supposed to feel a whole year older with the passing of twentyfour hours.
What is time anyway, the question that everybody has asked silent space at least once in their lifetime, well the answer will only come from within and is bound to be philosophical in nature.
Is time something tikking away by it self with the regularity of our best clocks? -Or better yet, the regularity of small collapsed stars spinning rapidly emitting radio beacons throughout space. We actualy found our most precise clocks to be slightly irregular in comparison.
Once when astronomers were observing and timing the regularity of one of these "Pulsars" as they are known, they found that it skipped one of its radio blinks.
These radio blinks are caused by narrow high intensity beams of radionoise being transmitted from, not the poles of the star, but from the equator. There are two beams emitted by a pulsar, they are emitted 180 degrees apart (in both planes: east/west, north/south).
Just like a light house.
Anyway, it would have been highly unlikely for the former star to suddenly withhold the emition of a blink as the beam swept across the earth and the radio telescope (It of cause only looks like a blink from our view point and is infact a continuous beam being swept around as the pulsar rotates on its axis, I forget how quickly they "can" rotate but I think it is something in the order of "revolutions per minute").
So the fault had to be in the timing equipment.
And thus was born a commercial series of wristclocks called "pulsar", very human response to otherwise intriguing scientific discovery, nothing is left unexploited for exhilaration and wonder is it?

An Angel
Posted Aug 30, 2000
I know an Angel, it is a she. Though angels are not supposed to be of any particular gender-Mine is.
She has wings, seriously, and I believe that I love her...She also has silvery white dreadlocks and she is so frail yet so incredibly strong.
It is frustrating to know perfection when you have to be reminded of yourself now and again...
