A Jumbo approaches Hong Kong's famous Kai-Tak Airport (closed on 5 July 1998)
This airport once offered an incredibly exciting and spectacular approach!

Hong Kongs Kai Tak Airport (formerly the "Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)'') opened in 1936 and served Hong Kong for more than sixty years. In 1947, only three airlines operated through Kai Tak with a monthly total of 141 aircraft movements and 1,958 passengers. In 1954, as the existing terminal building was becoming congested, land reclamation commenced and this was followed by the construction of a runway promontory into the harbor together with a new passenger terminal. By 1969 the airport was handling approximately 2,200 passengers each hour and with the introduction of Boeing 747 aircraft, the single runway was extended in 1974 to its present length of 3,392 meters. In 1997, more than 28 million passengers and 1.7 million tons of cargo were handled at Kai Tak, more than twice the volume a decade ago. Some 67 airlines were operating scheduled services each day; over 420 aircraft arrived or departed at a frequency of one ever two minutes during peak periods. Owing to its location in the urban area, any further expansion was severely constrained which has resulted in Kai Tak operating well over its design capacity.

To meet the growing economic needs of Hong Kong, the government has built a replacement airport at Chek Lap Kok, an island some twenty seven kilometers to the west of Kai Tak. On 5 July 1998 Hong Kong international airport (Kai Tak) closed and its role has now been taken over completely by the new airport at Chap Lap Kok.

Great Websites

I have discovered some great websites in the last couple of weeks.
First off, youtube-mp3.org is a life saver. Secondly, I love the features of the NBA's new "KnicksNOW.com". As the Knicks fire up the Garden and basketball has become the hottest ticket in the city, New York is fired up a in need of a website like this. I love the feature that shows the most recent Tweets from Knicks players. It's perfect. It's pictured above. They call it 'Bockers 140'.
Also, I'm sooo into Google News, it's not even funny. Call me 5 years late, but this shit is brilliant!

Back on Track

Allow me to get this blog back on track, if I may. I have slacked hard-core with postings and such. I would like to share some of my favorite things, of recent, if you do not mind.
So, I fell in love with J.J Abrahms show 'UnderCovers' only to have it cancelled one me, just one of his many terrific programs I got into and America didn't. I can't stand LOST- anything supernatural he does (Cloverfield, Felicity) I
never like. I like his real shit. I just wish the world would agree with me already. Boy oh boy, is NBC a failure!
As for films, Black Swan is officially the best film of 2010. Natalie Portman will most definitely win an oscar. As for all-time, it's the most captivating motion picture I have ever seen. I will have to re-watch 'Misery' and 'Kung Fu Panda' to see if it makes it into my Top 3 of All-Time.
Stay tuned, I will post again in 10 minutes.

USA HOUSES WLL

You've probably heard of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company ... their houses have been featured in Time, Domino, USA Today, and the New York Times, to name a few publications. The home pictured above is different from their other homes, which have that traditional, A-frame-esque shape. All Tumbleweed homes are sufficiently small, but this home is modern. It's 400 sf of green modern. The Z-Glass House is a stationary house, meant to be affixed to a foundation. You buy the plans and find a contractor to build it for you (with costs ranging in the $100 - $200 psf range). Or you can build it yourself. Check the layout, too. Such a great looking home, with a kitchen, bedroom, living room, and bathroom, what else do you need? Add a little solar on the roof, or maybe even a Skystream, and call it done.

SMART Cars Coming to America

By Hank Green



This year at the LA Auto Show, I, for the first time ever, sat down in a SMART car. These little guys are smart for a lot of reasons, most importantly because they are comfortable, small, and practical. There's far more leg room in a SMART car than there is in my Nissan Sentra, but the SMART car is almost half the size.

The sacrifice, of course, is the back seat. But in a world where every family already has one SUV...why not also have a little $10,000 car for single-person trips that otherwise would use a tremendous amount of gas?

And that's why SMART is officially going for the American market. They announced their planned invasion last year, and now they're taking reservations. It's looking like you're going to need a reservation, too, as supply will be limited and the demand (for the launch at least) is there. So, if you want one of your own, head to SmartUSA.com and reserve yourself a ForTwo for only $99.



Summerhouse by Turner Castle

In UK
summerhouse-01.jpg

Sometimes if you need a bit more room you don't need to move or do a big addition; perhaps a garden shed will fill the bill. Architect/Builder Turner Castle, in collaboration with Ullmayer Sylvester Architects, built this "summerhouse for a family with two small boys. The client needed additional space in his North London house, which was brimming at the seams with his expanding family. Rather than extend, they decided to build a summerhouse at the bottom of their very long garden. The idea was that this small building was to perform a hybrid function: combining art studio, playroom, tool shed and kitchen."...



Computer System Runs on Just 8 Watts

In solar
2007-11-30_131646.jpg

Eight watts. That's with processor and SDRAM running full tilt. Add the 8" LCD monitor at 12 Watts and a folding solar panel and you have a complete off-grid Linux puppy for £499. It was developed for the third world as "a collaborative, open source project of vast possibilities and a highly focused process to rapidly produce and distribute affordable computer appliances for people without reliable access to power. " That may be so, but it would work fine right here- my wall-warts suck more than 8 watts, let alone the computers. ...



Clevr: The Last Tea "Bag" You'll Ever Use

In tea infuser
tea-stick-chiasso.jpg
Reminscent of the Teastick (no spaces), the Tea Stick is a clever spring-loaded gadget perfect for brewing up a cup of tea without the muss and fuss of a pesky tea bag. Many tea aficionados will tell you that loose-leaf tea is the only way to go when brewing yourself; now you can do it in spring-loaded style and never have to bother with the waste of individually-wrapped tea bags. Sure, each tea bag doesn't contribute a huge amount of trash to the waste stream, but why do it if you don't have to? We aren't the only ones who liked the looks of this; it's available
