6362- In honor of 100 years…

Let’s see if I can post polls via email! I meant to write this up this morning.

Launchcast reworked its interface again. I think I like the 1-10 scale better,
but I can see the 0-4 stars being more popular overall.

6361 – If you had wings…

Last blue skies before the rains came.
Tree seen yesterday afternoon, accidentally captured with palm cam.
It began to rain heavily about 20 minutes later.

Thank you from Newt and me to sirenity for the lovely card and turtle post-its! They’re great!

Random Question –

Aloft for a century. There are countless online tributes to the Wright Brothers. Here are just a few. Flights of fancy, a small BBC gallery celebrating the 100th anniversary of Wilbur and Orville Wright’s first flight at Kitty Hawk, on 17 December 1903. See also Photography and the Wright Brothers, and the stark abstract beauty of images like these: I, II, III. Related: Microsoft’s A Century of Flight. Even more photos.

I trained Mohna yesterday… fascinating person, 19 year old Muslim girl, spent several years in Palestine, helping to raise her brother’s children. She’s now in BCC, and is a perfect candidate for the nighttime phone gig. I wonder how much time we can dump on her, and not stress her out? She gets another Training session Friday… I’ll throw a few curveballs at her, and see how she adapts to them, but she’s got a good head for deductive reasoning and gathering information.
