Our little Renae Bekas arrived on Monday 5/9/05 7:19pm at the Frances Perry hospital weighing 3.33 kg; I haven’t had the chance to go through all the photos yet but here’s a sneak preview! Ange and little Renae are doing very well indeed (I need some sleep :).

See if you can keep up with Mr Fastfinger at the Guitar Shred Show; It has to be the coolest way of delivering guitar lessons (it’s very funny too). Man, I wish I could play like that!

It appears that the shuttle’s fuel sensor problem may be harder to find than expected; consequently the Discovery shuttle missed the first launch attempt for this long-awaited return to flight but they remain hopeful for a July launch. OK, so it’s not your average fuel gauge sensor and the propellant happens to be super-cooled liquid hydrogen and oxygen; you don’t want any nasty surprises with that stuff!

NASA : Return to flight

This may come to a bit of a shock to some of you that know me; I’ve been thinking of getting a Mac Mini for a while now. Now there’s some evidence of a new mac mini on the way…hmmm, I’ve waited this long, I can wait a little longer.

*update: I visited the local mac dealer and apparently the are no more mac mini’s supplied by Apple; in fact they ran out of stock 4 weeks ago. Sign there might be new models coming out? he thought so.

What a wonderful sunset on Mars; One could just sit there, on a balmy -60 C, wind gently blowing at 30 m/s (it’s evening so it does pick-up a bit) breathing in the carbon dioxide in the air… oh I wish I was there.
