from retro to present

My friend today just schooled me in modern tech history regarding the new F-35. Kinda reminded me of ghost imaging even though this has nothing to do with it. Still, pretty interesting.

Hiroshima photos

The Boston Globe often has some really good photo sets, and this one came out last week.

Odori's post made me think of this shot of the Army engineers, which really leaves me uncomfortable. Not that the others don't, but it's just got this feel of ambivalence to it, like, "Okay, looks like we blew up this place pretty good. Next..." Though I'm sure that's not fair. That guy on the right (played by a young Harrison Ford) could easily be thinking, "Oh fucking god. We just did what?"
