a buddy of mine mailed this to me today... and I'm very excited! I've been really busy for the past several months, so I hope to fully engage in more discussions by January. I wish everybody a happy new year!

2) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Do you dream in color? (Message 816600)

Post:
Yes, I dream in color. In fact, I never even realized that certain people dream exclusively in black and white until about ten years ago.


edit: I've had two (authentic) lucid dreams, kenzieB... It's an extremely bizarre experience. I knew it would only last a couple minutes - so I went wild and tried to do as much as possible before waking. I did a lot of weird stuff! haha

Ah, meatloaf! Classic! That looks great, Richard! It's been a couple years since I made meatloaf... If you don't mind, I'd like to make your recipe! For today's dinner, I ingested a chicken cesar salad and I consumed a bottle of Chablis. For "dessert", I drank a double cortado. It was a tasty meal!

Ah! I'm quite sleepy now - I think I'll retire for the evening, and do some light reading before I fall asleep. Bye for now, everybody!

Ah! I'm really touched! Thank you very much to Dr. C.E.T.I. , Blurf, and Stealth Eagle!

I woke up this morning, read a little of the "R" issue of my old World Book encyclopedias (Revolutionary War, Rome, Rocks, Rats, Babe Ruth, Raspberries, and Albert Ryder) - then I stumbled over to the computer with a cup of coffee... began listening to The Cure --- and imagine my delight and joy upon realizing that I've been selected as user of the day! I never thought that would happen! I'm really happy!! Thank you, everybody! What a fantastic way to conclude the previous week, and commence a new one!

love

Ah! I played around with the Creature design application at my buddy's house over the weekend. It's so much fun! I can't wait for the game! I haven't been interested in playing a video/computer game since Sims 2. My enthusiasm has been rekindled! I may have to upgrade my computer in order for it to run smoothly, however...

hello everybody! I've been busy for the past couple weeks, so the frequency of my posting has suffered slightly. Upon reading the news this morning, I was happy to discover the article linked below...

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/06/17/super.earths.ap/index.html


It is as I've expected, and I feel it further strengthens our case for supporting the efforts of SETI. I believe we're on the verge of making some historical discoveries regarding the nature of off-Earth life. I can't wait!


happy Wednesday, everbody!

Hi MeltWreckage ;) I didn't get out as far as Tower bridge this time. I don't even know about the Telectroscope. Please tell us more :) Yes, please share a couple ;)


Hello again, Ice!

I would be happy to share some pictures! I'm afraid my online photo-sharing techniques are a little archaic, so I placed all the images into a single file, uploaded to my website:

http://www.more84.com/london.jpg

I'm sorry they're a bit blurry, but my camera phone isn't the best - nor do I ever "aim" while photographing!

The Telectroscope is on the second, third, and fourth row of images - although the order in which everything is sorted is more or less random...

I learned about its existence here:

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/05/22/scope.project/index.html


the bottom-left image depicts my point-of-view upon gazing into the device... It was really cool! Waving to and interacting with New Yorkers, live! haha - we were writing hand-rendered notes back and forth, trading phone numbers etc .... £1 = roughly ten minutes of interaction


edit: Dr. C.E.T.I. has submitted some fantastic images of the Telectroscope! nice one, buddy! I've yet to see the New York-side of the device ... that's really cool!


p.s. I sneaked in an Indiana Jones picture from Leicester Square! haha... my girlfriend and I attended a lunchtime screening of the new film, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The critical response baffles me, as it's been fairly negative. I thought the movie was great!

It also had many other buildings inside, exhibitions, car show rooms, and restaurants and bars like this one, where I had my lunch ;)






hey Ice! Excellent pictures! That's great! I love this place! I used to be a frequent patron when I lived in London. In fact, I was just there over the weekend myself. Did you visit the Telectroscope on the South Bank? (right next to Tower Bridge) It was great! I took quite a few pictures also - perhaps I'll share a couple!
