History Channel: Starship Boneyard

The Beechcraft Starship is now an extremely rare aircraft, only four are currently flying world-wide. I was fortunate enough to be able to capture video of two back in October 2000. Nowadays you might see a newer aircraft of similar configuration, it’s probably the Piaggio Avanti. The most noticeable difference on the exterior is the rudder system (Winglet “Sails” vs. T-Tail). Unlike the all composite fuselage of the Starship, the Avanti’s is conventional aluminum. Both aircraft really know how to “haul the mail.” Here’s a link to a Smithsonian Air & Space article entitled “Beached Starship” that has some more of the Starship story. The photo with the on-line article is of a LearFan, a third revolutionary twin-engine pusher-prop configuration that failed to make it into production. www.airspacemag.com My video on the Beechcraft Starship: www.youtube.com My video on the Piaggio Avanti: www.youtube.com Robert Scherer’s Starship web site: www.bobscherer.com A book entitled “The Starship Diaries” may also be of interest you: www.starshipdiaries.com Enjoy art in motion.

VNR of the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web 01

Part 1 Date- 13th Mar 09 Source- cdsweb.cern.ch ‘Geneva, 13 March 2009. Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee returned to the birthplace of his invention today, 20 years after submitting his paper Information Management: A Proposal to his boss Mike Sendall. By writing the words Vague, but exciting on the documents cover, and giving Berners-Lee the go-ahead to continue, Sendall was signing into existence the information revolution of our times: the World Wide Web. In September of the following year, Berners-Lee took delivery of a computer called a NeXT cube, and by December the Web was up and running, albeit between just a couple of computers at CERN1. Todays event takes a look back at some of the early history, and pre-history, of the World Wide Web at CERN, includes a keynote speech from Tim Berners-Lee, and concludes with a series of talks from some of todays Web pioneers. Its a pleasure to be back at CERN today, said Berners-Lee. CERN has come a long way since 1989, and so has the Web, but its roots will always be here. The World Wide Web is undoubtedly the most well known spin-off from CERN, but its not the only one. Technologies developed at CERN have found applications in domains as varied as solar energy collection and medical imaging. When CERN scientists find a technological hurdle in the way of their ambitions, they have a tendency to solve it, said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. Im pleased to say that the spirit of innovation that allowed Tim Berners-Lee to invent

* Why the OS Matters *
In response to Jean-Louis Glassee’s article “The OS Doesn’t Matter…” I wrote quite simply: the future of the browser wars is he who integrates with the OS best. This phrase came from my article lambasting Microsoft’s use of HTML for their IE9 jump lists, which caused quite a stir. In the wave of ever increasing web browser capability, the operating system is going to matter to web users more …
