The Train That Never Stops

Innovation at its finest.  A major problem with trains (and other forms of public transport) is the frequency in which they stop.  I know that in taking the Long Island Rail Road into New York City, the train stops around 15 times.  It seems like just as the train begins to pick up speed, we have to stop at a station that nobody is even at.  (I hate you Auburndale).  I found this video of a chinese concept for a new train, and thought it was absolutely brillaint. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Ig19gYP9o

What if the train just doesn't stop?

From Scuba Diving to Sky Diving

Took a trip with 17 other americans (scale it) to the Whitsunday's Islands off the east coast of Australia.  It's a group of something like 70 islands that act as a launching off point for the Great Barrier Reef.  Most of the islands are uninhabited beauties.

SMS stands for Short Message Service.  I remember when it was first really becoming popular among the tech generation (a.k.a. me).  It used to be used for things like "will be 5 min late".  Instead of picking up the phone and going through the bullshits of "hello" "how are you" and "goodbye", SMS texts got straight to the point... exactly how I like it.  Well now I hate it.
