I have just read a really cool article in IEEE Spectrum about the story behind Apollo 13 for the 35th anniversary. This Article tells some of the real story of of the journey home. I have read the Jean Kratz book ‘Failure is not an Option’ and I do not remember many of the things noted in this article… Everyone has a different perspective I guess.

CNN has an Article on how a seven story freak wave hit a cruise ship. Thankfully only four people were injured. I can tell you I am glad I was not on that ship. The longest cruise I have ever been on is between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Not that I dont want to go on a cruise… Just not one with 70 foot waves.

For their 25th aniversary, CNN has released their list of the top 25 technological breakthroughs of the last 25 years. Wireless Technology is number one on the list… Being a wireless engineer, and having a love of the technology this impresses me no end.

I will be in meetings most tuesday and wednesday. Not sure how much I will manage to write… I will see how I go…
