Honor Harrington - in Japanese

(Found on the Lois Bujold List)

Someone posted the cover art for the Japanese editions of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" series. For those who like Manga and Anime, they really look quite interesting - not what one would expect, but still interesting.

Manga-esque, but really quite nice, if one likes that style. I always had a mental image on how well that series would translate to anime, and this just adds to it.

May have to see if I can get my hands on copies.

Though I'm not sure about the "neko-like" Nimitz. He looks like "Hello Treekitty"

Well, that's done...

Set up an appointment for a long-overdue eye examination, (when I realized it's been 5 years since my last one.)

(Swats hand) Yes, I know I'm supposed to get them every year.

Anyway, 3pm in Clairmont Mesa. I doubt they'll find anything unusual, my perscription has been stable since I was 2 years old.

I want!

Okay, it falls into the "when I win the lottery" type of want, but still......

More on the Airplane House

Got curious about the idea of using a converted 727 as a home. Turns out the company doing this has a site with a lot more information.

http://www.maxpoweraero.com/ACHomes.htm

According to them, the bearing that the home is mounted on, (the wings, BTW, have been modified to prevent lift), can be operated as either locked in place, motored in a circle, or freely rotating. This allows the "whole airplane (to) weathervane, pointing into the wind."

Property can be as little as one acre, though 5 acres are recommended. (You need a 153' rotating circle for the mount) That is assuming you placed it on land - fresh water and salt water mounting is an option as well.

Supposely, they're safe enough to allow one to stay in them during a hurricane or tornado. Even of that's the case, I suspect I'd want to leave just in case.......

Also, Wired News did an article about them, and a guy in Washington who's building a "fixer-upper" out of an ex-Olympic Airlines 727.
