Ultraman

When I was a kid, I was really inspired by this show while living in Japan called Ultraman. Well, I found this decent article, "Ultraman...forever", describing the 40-year old phenonmenom at JapanTimes online. It is good to see that this show is still in production and for two generations has been entertaining young kids and parents alike. Now, I just need to find the DVDs so can watch and relive these shows. I don't think they are broadcast much in the US.

Silent Aircraft Initiative

This is a cool concept, a virtually silent passenger aircraft. I saw in this CNNTech article and the conceptual picture looks like the blended-wing aircraft concepts being explored by Boeing. Imagine a future with much less jet noise from commercial airliners.
