I<\/span> was playing with Mono<\/a> last night, only after I found out that it supports static compilation<\/a> which makes Mono a lot more compelling for going cross-platform. Much to my surprise, I found out that some of my (personal) applications came unscathed through the Mono wrench: that is, they run and impressively, in some cases they do what they’re supposed to do. If I have time during the weekend, I’ll see if I can put some side by side comparison images together.\n<\/p>\n

Back to physics: The Physics Factbook lists facts only with some hilarious sample calculations, like ‘the speed of a subway in ‘Batman Begins’<\/a>, the speed of a ‘Rogue Bludger’<\/a> and the ‘Force of a SuperHero’<\/a>. Not all of it useful. Of course.\n<\/p>\n

I was duly impressed by this set of images of Earth<\/a> (Warning: might load slowly). All images seem to come from the Earth Observatory<\/a> and some of them make good background\/wallpaper.\n<\/p>\n

If you’re into American politics (and the current Obama administration): A couple of weeks ago, the New York Times featured Barack Obama’s top-advisers, aides and members of his administration<\/a>. For some kind of reason, some photos look unreal (creepy at times). Unintentional, I gather.\n<\/p>\n

Noteflight<\/a> reminds me of a sequencer (Musicator GS) I used to program my Roland SCC-1. Noteflight is a site that allows you to write music online and (oh noes<\/em>) share them with others. It looks neat, but I’m not sure if this concept will be a money-maker. That said, yeah, what happened to Musicator GS? Wait, maybe the company that made the programstill exists<\/a> (the price hasn’t changed either, after all these years…).\n<\/p>\n
