I didn't get the job at Holden! But I'm happy cos cousin Ellen got one! Go Tidy/Boyles! :)

I'm not too disappointed cos I know I had an ordinary interview and I have other career paths I would like to pursue. Namely renewable energy or jet engine design.... two extremely different paths I know! Renewable energy has my vote at the moment because jet engines would force me to leave the country, whereas renewables gives me a choice and prob means lots of cruising around country Australia looking for places to upset locals and local orange bellied parrot populations.

So all of Australia's governments get together for a big talk fest and talk about........ daylight saving!! brilliant.

Although they all agree we should have a tilt at the world cup finals in like 2018 or something... nice work, let's hope it comes here!

I'm at uni in my lab! ha! I have a lab.... But the lamps I have got to adjust are too hot so I gotta wait for a while..... so whats been happening with you?? Did you watch the video about the space shuttle docking?? wow! It's such a surreal picture to see the earth flying by underneath while the shuttle does such a gentle spin above it..... did you know the shuttle and the space station are orbiting the earth once every 1 and a half hours?? well now you do. That's pretty quick! That's why some people are researching the possibility of commercial flights that would actually leave the 'aptmosphere' for the bulk of the flight..... could fly to London in like a few hours!

Of course, 'aptmosphere' is depends on how you define it considering that there are particles everywhere in space.... it is not actually a complete vacuum. I always thought it was close enough to a complete vacuum, but apparently not! I found out the other day that the space station has to fire it's boosters once a month or so to correct it's orbit which has decreased in height by as much as a couple of kilometres due to drag from solar winds and stuff!! wow!

what a nerd
