Lifter, Lifter, In The Sky

Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high
Up above the clouds you go
Power beamed up from below
Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high

Climbing slowly to the stars
Bringing Earthlings from afar
Holding goodies big and small
Opening space for us all
Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high

Clinging tightly to the ribbon
Made of nanotubes of carbon
On your top is a counterweight
Down below is the LiftPort gate
Lifter, lifter, in the sky
How is it you climb so high

Update: This poem was produced as part of LiftPort’s poetry contest, where contestants can win a free T-shirt from their store. Since poetry is something I randomly enjoy, I thought this would be a nice addition to post to this weblog.

Is it me, or doesn’t it not seem fair that the defense department gets all of the fun. (Hat Tip: Hot Air)

On a more realistic side, I think I may purchase this beauty.

Sigh…

Update: Corrected video size of super cool computer (first video). Also inserted credit.

Although I love borrowing Google’s blogger design for this template, it kinda makes me unofficially look like Google (which can be bad and possibly lead towards confusion, not to mention loss of Ad Sense).

This site may look funky for a while, but hold on as I work out the bugs of this joint.

Update: Finished.

Say it isn’t so. But I saw it with my own eyes.

(Chicago Sun-Times) INDIANAPOLIS — A comeback, a drive, a legacy. And yes — finally — Peyton Manning gets his Super Bowl trip, too.

Football’s most prolific quarterback put on a show for the ages Sunday, rallying the Indianapolis Colts from 18 points down and driving them 80 yards for the winning score in a wildly entertaining 38-34 victory over the New England Patriots.

It was a great game, either way, even though I was rooting for New England. Oh well, I guess they’ve won too many super bowls already (at least that is what my friends tell me).

Either way, I’m looking forward to watching the big game on TV. Now all I have to do is figure out who is hosting the party this year.

Well, today I just discovered why time management is important. And why I need to upload more of my life on Google’s servers (this time via Google Calendar).

Basically, I contacted a friend and let him know that I would be getting in touch with him later on today this evening.

Ironically, I discovered an event at church that is happening around the same time (give or take an hour). Although I have not committed to the event, everyone is probably expecting me to be there because I attended the same event last year.

And to make matters worse, one of the church members emailed me to make sure that I am wearing red (I think it’s a theme or something, although I hope it has nothing to do with star trek).

I may be able to make the opening ceremonies, but I am definitely going to have to miss the dinner. I’ll probably get some flack for it via MySpace (that is if I both check it next week) but that would be better than disappointing my friend.
