Pottermania
Well, its finally here. However, I can't help being more excited about Google Earth. Finding an accelerator - like at CERN, BNL or better still FNAL - is pretty easy from 'space'. What else can we find? Golden Gate, Oracle HQ, Colliseum, Helicopter landing pads on top of the Hong Kong Peninsula, Great Pyramids, Kansai airport.
Now I can visit all of the LCG Tier1s - and even Tier2s. Make a great SuperComputing demo. Just need to add globules of data, gushing along network pipes, to complete the animation.

Epicurean heaven
Mounds of ice-cream (current favourites: banana and melon), strong bitter smell of fresh coffee, pasta, pizza, fish... Where does one start?
And how does one stop?
And how does one stop?
