The last of Facebook

Finally I have the last of the images from Facebook. Most are from the 24 hour Montreal Marathon of 2007, some are pictures of my cats when they were less than a year old. I have posted the pictures here for reference, my cats used to be that small!

See this is good technique, notice how my right skate is near parallel with the left, except I should have held the left in the air longer. (Posted July 19, 2007)
lame lame lame, WTF!! Why am I doing a set down of the right foot while the left has not even started the push! (Posted July 19, 2007)

See Eric? He's the guy with the medal, he just skated almost 500km in a 24 period, without taking more than a few very short (i.e. 5 minute brakes). (Posted July 19, 2007)
Okay, this is a pretty acceptable thing to see, except my right leg is now pushing at a perpendicular, not good. (Posted July 19, 2007)
WTF? Now my left leg is at a perpendicular to my direction of travel, not good. (Posted July 19, 2007)
Jacky has good technique, I totally dont. (Posted July 19, 2007)

What the hell am I doing? Coasting when I am the skater with the batton!! (Posted July 19, 2007)

Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I'm free at last! No more Facebook for this Crackberry hater. (And anyone ever tries to tell me to get back on Facebook is gonna get a smart bottom!)

Over the next few weeks I'd like to explore something new, there is an article in the August 2006 issue of Scientific American Magazine on the subject of Supersonic Combustion RAM Jets (or SCRAM Jets) and their applications on a space plane. Inspired by this article I would like to describe, in boring technically accurate detail how my grandchildren will go into Earth Orbit just as easily as I go to Vancouver, or Shanghai today.
