the civic center from gattaca

So I just found out from my designer friend... that the civic center in san rafael was actually where gattaca was filmed. People who major in architecture go there just to check out the building. Amazing... a place where people might actually want to get jury duty just so they an go check out the place.

Engineering marvels = Osaka Airport

Now that I have directv, i'm starting to spend quite a bit of time watching the national geographic channel.

This week they talked about Osaka Airport. Osaka wanted to compete with Tokyo in attracting investors, and found that by building a bigger airport, they could. Unfortunately though, Osaka was completed crowded and had no space, so the engineers decided to build the airport in the middle of the ocean! It was just an amazing episode. They showed that in order to prevent sinking into the ocean, the japanese would actually cause the sinking to increase by sucking the water out of the sand before building on it. it was pretty unituitive. (Who would have thought of that!)
By making the foundation extremely sturdy, they were also able to withstand in 1995 the kobe earthquake, which had its epicenter only 18 miles from Osaka airport.

Anyways, as an engineer, I must have to give my hats off to the engineers who designed Osaka airport.

Justice League Unlimited

So this post isn't really about Justice League Unlimited. Actually, I'm trying to put in keywords for adsense. I noticed that my ads have been really good lately. The words "Free Star Trek Episodes" and "Download Star Trek Episodes from Google" really stand out to me. I know I'm not suppose to click on my own ads, but they were so great and interesting. One of them was a deal to get free Star Trek Voyager dvds by accomplishing 3 tasks. My brother did this once, I wonder if he ever got his free ipod.
