The effort to save the airplane that saved people it carried from the hudson
by Walter Elly on Jan.23, 2010, under Technology
Just a quick post to share this video I spied on Mashable via Laughing Squid.
I really like the video’s closing – paying tribute to the Airbus A320 and how it stood up to the test and performed when it needed to. Something else to celebrate- another hero of the Hudson.

Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Aliens is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I don’t know if I can have *a* favorite, but Aliens ranks up there for sure. James Cameron knows what he’s doing- and I trust him with Avatar – but that’s for another post.

My dad was at the cape covering the shuttle launch today and shared some pics of the scene from the #NASATweetUp from AFTER the TweetUp that he took while he was there- he sent them to me to share with you! Enjoy!
My Contribution to Star Wars Uncut

I really can’t take too much credit for this one – Jeremy Robinson is the mastermind behind this- I just assisted with the musical score :D
So without further ado- my contribution to Star Wars Uncut – which you should seriously investigate if you haven’t heard of yet!
Zombies, Tweeple and Plinko oh my! #SpookUp Writeup

So- one of the things that I love is Twitter. Hit me up if you’re on and we’ll chat! One of the most fascinating things about Twitter are Tweetups– parties for people who Tweet. Not kidding, it’s awesome and if you haven’t been and you ARE on Twitter then you don’t know what you’re missing! If you’re not on Twitter then holy crap, get on it before your name is taken (amongst other reasons to join :) )!

FIRST POST!!!!111oonneeeeee
by Walter Elly on Oct.29, 2009, under Meta Posts
I love the internet. Seriously I do. Am I supposed to capitalize I in internet? I don’t do it. I realize I really should, but I don’t. Also- this isn’t technically the first post in this blog, so I kindof just owned myself. Yeah. ANNNYWAYS, I just wanted to deliver on my last post where I said there would be the mandatory first post. Well, I realized that the first post that really counts is the about me section, which I’ve got a pretty nice start to, and will complete (and then) evolve over time. So please check that out if you want a true, formal introduction to why I’m here talking to you now and beyond that lets start with the fun times and awesome discussion about the internet, technology and how we can use it to make our lives easier and have more fun!
Finally, a new wordpress blog is born. MINE!

There will be the predictable, mandatory “first post” soon. More needs to be said beyond my mini-rant about the technology stone age blog title. But, after living with Blogger for nearly 10 years, I’ve just now finally got WordPress into a shape of my liking. Thanks especially to this guide and this blog (whatup @cherylharrison!) for inspiration. Still lots of work to do though before I start making noise about this thing.

This is the technology stone age. It really is.
by Walter Elly on Oct.09, 2009, under Technology
This technology that we’ve got today is amazing, but it’s still not good enough. Despite that I love it, but we must remember – we are not yet at Star Trek level. These things should just WORK. We shouldn’t have to deal with crashes, or incompatibilities, or whatever. We live in the technology stone age. We’ve only just begun.
