the Death Star?

Posted (edited)

There's a building going up in Azerbaijan's capitol (Baku) that really looks like the Death Star. You can see a picture at: www.io9.com

...which is where I got the Koolhaas design above.

...and where I just watched a 7-1/2 minute trailer for the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still!!!!!!

I was going through my pic files and found these. This is a proposed floating hotel to be built off the coast of Dubai. Only accessible by airship! :jamin

Given the current state of the global economy, I'm not holding my breath...but it is beautiful.

Shopkeeper:Are all your pets called Eric?

Customer:There's nothing so odd about that: Kemal Ataturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul!

Shopkeeper:No he didn't!

Customer:Did!

Shopkeeper:Didn't!

Customer:Did, did, did, did, did and did!

Shopkeeper:Oh, all right.

Customer:Spoken like a gentleman, sir. Now, are you going to give me a fish license?

      About to head up to Roseville to return this rental and pick up my truck from the auto shop.  It is supposedly sporting a newly fabricated frame rail...I don't think they are referred to as "chassis" anymore as I see the confusion in shop owner's eyes when they ask me if I'm looking for "body work?".   But I do find it interesting that I told the owner that I worked direct with OEM parts and yet he still wrote me up an invoice with overpriced OEM parts from companies I used to host at the place I used to work for.  With that said, I'm expecting a stellar job for the amount I paid.   ...else, there will be some talk negotiations.

      ~~~~~ Definitely wishing you luck.  Do enjoy yourselves.   But I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind was does roadside assistance reach the desert? 😬

      ~~~~~ Yeah, it's like something happened to my metabolism this past Winter and when I came out of hibernation, that AARP Join Request started looking like something to check into.

      This 👆 definitely goes with what I said in my other post - getting old sucks. Seems like *everything* takes longer and takes more energy out of me than it used to. Really need to work on my diet and exercise, I've found the older I get, the more important those things have really become...
