Thought this was cool. I've not looked into how it's done, satellites perhaps ?

There's a lot of storms over Britain at the moment. Looks like Suffolk is being hit today.

21 years ago, when I bought my first true computer (the 1st real one was an Atari 800 XL, lol), there was only ONE available question: Mac or PC? Then, 15 years later, the choice changed: desktop or laptop? Except pure gamers, everyone had a laptop.

Nowadays, the question is: Apple smartphone or Android smartphone? And apps. I wonder who still buy a PC.

Before that, the main interest of the internet was that everybody could do and write EVERYTHING, while staying totally anonymous. Now, the only important thing is that everyone is proud to be visible in social networks. And needs tons of "friends".

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm afraid I'm VERY old. That was my modest touch of nostalgy.

This is a bizarre thing...

QuoteWhile there's no shortage of weird and wacky ideas in science fiction about what creatures from other planets might look like, few are quite as remarkable as those that can actually be found right here on Earth.

Sometimes I'm finding it hard to get wallpapers for the bigger screen, but I found this place which offers some very nice images, thought I would share
