Faith

Good cover by The Boy Least Like To.

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I’ll wait for something more

Torrent Mods

Finally, an aggregator for torrents!

I’ve been reading about this idea last year in some tech magazine, that it would be inevitable that a feed reader would be possible for scheduling torrent downloads.

And now there is, thanks to Ted (the Torrent Episode Downloader).

And if you’re like me, you probably use an ISP that regulates how much their customers can download/upload torrents. But those regulations are typically on a schedule, and this Scheduler helps you get around that.

USB Batteries

Here’s a smart alternative for recharging NiMH batteries (which are good for cameras because they have a little more jolt than the regular batteries) – the USB Battery.

Space shuttle returns

Lately, I’ve been really inspired by space exploration.

Space Shuttle gets rolled out

I believe in the existence of life outside of earth. That can be bacteria or it could be ETs. We don’t know until we explore. The nature of the recent shuttle mission may be no different than any other massive explosion into the skies, but it’s one step closer to learning something new.

One step also (in this case) towards having a “international” space station. A ‘united nation’ venture into space.

This most recent space shuttle mission was to do a crew rotation and fix on the trusses. Here’s some more info.

And here’s a beautiful shot taken from a camera mounted on the fuel tank of another recent space shuttle mission:

West Wing

I’ve been watching the complete series of West Wing lately. I really enjoy how the series is informative while showcasing a liberal fighting with social conservative notions; drama.

This may be one of my favourite shows and I sense a connection with how things would really be if things were speed up by two years.
