Grafitti in Singapore ?!?!

I was quite surpirsed to see graffiti in Singapore:

but it turns out that it's part of a youth center skate park, that I think is setup by the city. Maybe somebody got official permission to do this graffiti? But what happens if somebody else comes along and tags it?

What's in a name?

I don't know much about marketing, but it seems like not being able to decide on which name to use for your new waterfront (actually, canal-front) condo development is probably NOT going to help pull you out of the housing slump, especially when the choices are bad and worse ;-)

Airbus A380 setting up for a pass during the Fleet Week airshow:

Super-jumbo or super-dumbo?

It's Fleet Week in San Francisco, and we have a nice view "backstage" - out where the planes regroup and make some of their turns setting up for another stunt. I noticed a few planes from the early part of the airshow go by today while working at home this afternoon, so I was keeping an eye and an ear out for the Blue Angels and had my camera out just in case it got interesting. I noticed a fairly large plane coming around, and initially thought it was a cargo plane. Then I got a better look:

An Airbus A380 (MSN 009) is in town for a "fitting" at SFO as part of a "function and reliability" flight tour. It's in town for several days, and did a few passes in today's airshow. I managed to capture a few shots as it was setting up for it's first pass. Unfortunately, nothing to provide scale, but it's definitely big and seemed relatively quiet (at least at low speed). Of course, the interesting questions will be how it performs in actual service, and if it ever becomes commercially viable or becomes another Concorde.

Here are a few more photos "backstage" of the A380 and the Blue Angels' performance in today's show:

Assignment 02

Posting all the pictures in a Picasa album is easier than copying things back and forth on usb memory sticks (mainly because I just discovered that I need to upgrade to a much bigger one ...). Here's a link to the album, unfined and unfiltered:
