They suck. For example the latter picture in the post below is malformed. The original before uploading is fine and well readable. I posted with Firefox as I can’t post images to blog posts at all with Opera. The editor looks horrible in Firefox with a barely readable font as I’m typing this.
I don’t know [...]

Temperature differences make us feel alive
somehow getting feedback from the world.
I am not afraid anymore
at least not right now.
Charging ahead to the water
it might not be as cold as you feared.
Feeling the wind touch your body
and you get strength from being strong.
It may take years, it may take months
who are you to say to me [...]

I’ve been very tired and felt completely unable to have any effect on my life or on any other things for the last five days or so. This doesn’t mean that I’ve felt lazy – rather that what ever reasonable I have ever done, it has had zero effect on the world.

I’m somewhat happy, if a bit perplexed right now though.

in the city. Still have some moving to do.
Seems the ESAS appendices were put on wikileaks, the NASA panel was finally made official (I don’t really have high hopes for the outcome), Herschel and Planck were launched and Hubble was repaired. Still no NASA boss.
