These night launches were always so spectacular. Sadly this was the last one. There are four more shuttle launches till the fleet is retired. You can get this video and so much more from the NASA YouTube Channel.

This little presentation was made completely on my iPhone. It’s a combination of using the iPhone camera, using the Photoshop app to do some touch-ups and then uploading everything into the animoto app. I’ve got thousands of pictures in my phone and this is a great way to get them out. The song is pretty decent too for something that is licensed free.

I have to walk by Battery Park everyday. These are some of the pictures I captured this week. This is the main branch of the NY Public Library at Battery Park, the Pond and Celcius Restaurant all sponsored with TARP funds donated by Citibank.

If you follow me and my blog you know I’m a big technology buff. I enjoyed this TED Talk thoroughly:

At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Everything in this presentation puts my iPhone to shame and gives us a glimpse of what the future of technology could hold for us. If you like this presentation you can find all the TED Talk presentations on either their website at TED.com or on their YouTube channel. Stuff to make you think…
