Sky Sailing


Two weeks have passed since I intended to bring up my glider adventure. Instead of going into details, I've decided to share some photos.

Imagine...

I'd like to take a moment this morning to share another remarkable video from MoveOn.org's Obama In 30 Seconds contest. Meg Pinsonneault uses claymation to take a fresh approach to a political ad.

The contest is down to some 15 finalists, and the winner's video will be aired on television. Visit Obama In 30 Seconds to support Meg's video and view the other finalists.

Taking Flight

Four hours from now, I am set to take flight.

Rather, I've booked a ride in an engineless glider plane this afternoon. I've been intrigued by the thought of unpowered flight for awhile, and have been considering the pursuit of a hobbyist pilot's license. Of course, I'll never be able to afford such a hobby, but who wouldn't want the bragging rights? You never know when you'll need to fly a plane to escape a secret military installation.

Seriously, though; this is some cool shit.

Oh, and happy May Day, you yanks.
