Duxford Airshow – 8/9 September 2012

Vortexmind — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 07:34:15 +0000

Last Saturday I finally had a chance to visit the Imperial War Museum at Duxford (near Cambridge in the United Kingdom). The occasion was pretty juicy, as the regular September Airshow was scheduled for that weekend. I think it's almost since I have moved to the UK that I wanted to attend this particular event, as I am quite interested in aviation and warbirds from my very childhood. For once the British weather was also forgiving, with clear skies and high temperatures around 28 C, the ideal set to watch an Airshow.

The museum itself is pretty easy to reach from Cambridge's railway station. It's about 15 minutes with a free courtesy bus which runs every 30 minutes. (...)

Incidenti diplomatici in Greco – Topa

Vortexmind — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:40:18 +0000

Ecco cosa puó succedere se una parola diventa un'equivoco dal Greco all'Italiano.

Per inciso, ΤΩΡΑ non significa topa ma "adesso"

Sunset in Greece – Santorini & Crete

Vortexmind — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 07:35:15 +0000

Just wanted to share some beautiful sunset videos I've taken in Greece. The first one is from Rethymno, a lovely city in the island of Crete. There is an old Venetian Fortress just on the seaside which overlooks the entire town. You can witness a really amazing and romantic sunset from here, especially if the day is windy and the sea roars endlessly under the stone walls

Coursera’s Huge Online Classes Roar Into Brazil, India and China

Vortexmind — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 07:20:49 +0000

We already discussed on these pages of Coursera, the free online course offering that seem to be about to change the cards in play for online education. At the moment you don't get any academic equivalent grade for completing the courses, but you can still learn a lot for free! Just flagging up the latest update, described in Forbes's article on Coursera classes , that they are set to offer courses in India, Brazil and China!

Gopher in Baikonur – Russian Cosmodrome

Vortexmind — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:06:44 +0000

A funny video of a gopher which has decided to settle down at the famous russian cosmodrome of Baikonur in Kazakhstan. Maybe he is really looking forward for the space colonisation...

It doesn't look too much scared of the Proton rockets around ...

Need To Solve Big Data Problems? Use Data Jujitsu

Vortexmind — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 07:34:35 +0000

Just to share an excellent article I've read this morning while commuting. It's about problem solving and "divide et impera" methodologies. The article focuses on a specific class of problems (data problems ... Which are problems indeed given the rate at which information is produced and stored nowadays!) but some considerations are generally valid in an IT context. Do you agree with the contents?

Orville the air cat – Orvillecopter

Vortexmind — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:09:21 +0000

So apparently this guy has stuffed his dead cat and made a flying machine out of him!

The poor pet was struck by a car, so why not ensure he will be always able to fly among the birds he loved so much?
