Hanger One, Moffett Field

This massive hanger was built in 1932 to house the USS Macon; it covers eight acres and is 198 feet high. It's now owned by NASA and is also one of the major landmarks in the south bay area. To get an idea of how big it is, compare it to the normal-sized water tower next to the hanger in the full size image.

Approximate location: 37°24'42.50" N, 122°03'11.62" W





Ack! This one didn't get up on time; I totally lost track of Sunday in there ...

Teeth! (and underskull)

Remember we were making molds of a new sculpture? Well, here's the underskull for it. The teeth and gums haven't been dirtied up yet, but this gives you another little tease. It'll have it's public debut in two weeks, then we'll have pictures of it up here.





Now they're caught up :)

Highly sensitive information about the religious beliefs, political opinions and even the sex life of Britons travelling to the United States is to be made available to US authorities ... Under the new agreement, which goes live at the end of this month, the US will be able to hold the records of European passengers for 15 years ... [Peter Hustinx, the European Data Protection Supervisor] warns: 'Data on EU citizens will be readily accessible to a broad range of US agencies and there is no limitation to what US authorities are allowed to do with the data.' ... It has emerged that neither Hustinx nor the European parliament were aware of the final draft of the plan ... they are also angry with a number of elements of the plan such as giving the US the absolute right to pass the data on to third parties.


Article in the Guardian Unlimited; the range of data includes "personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, and data concerning the health or sex life of individuals."
