Blathering for Friday, 25 April 2008

    06:44: On the DC metro to the Smithsonian. The DC metro was the first US metro system I used, and I still think its one of the best.
    08:23: A lot of the exhibitions at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum are starting to look a bit dated. For example, one sign said that as soon as a plane had finished its test flights in 1989 they hope to redo the display. Time for a refresh me thinks.
    08:25: Bugger. The gallery with the Apollo stuff like Armstrong's space suit is closed as it needs to be fixed to meet fire code. Oh well.
    08:32: I wonder if there are plans for a Smithsonian for microelectronis?
    18:09: Martinis in Georgetown. Its a lot like a preppy Newtown.
    18:09: We didn't make the Capitol Steps in the end... We'll try again tomorrow.

    So, did you realize that the BART and the DC metro are the same technology? They were built around the same time and both use zone based fares.
