In the Air Tonight Lyrics

Phil Collins claims he wrote the song 'In the air tonight' as a response to the breakdown of his first marriage and divorce in 1980.

The song is filled with strong emotions and phrases. 

Hotel California

According to Don Fedler and Don Hendly, eagles band musicians, the Song 'Hotel California' is not about a hotel or the state of California. It is about transitioning from innocence to maturity in a materialistic society. 

The song is about the ups and downs of living the American lifestyle and is filled with metaphorical phrases. Some of the lyrics reflect the life experiences of the band members. 

The beauty of this song is that it is like a poem, people listening can add their own meaning to it. 

I recall wondering what they meant by "she's Tiffany-Twisted". Perhaps it means their partner is obsessed with expensive designer items. 

Scratch Card AI

I asked some AI systems to draw a cat playing a scratch card. These ai systems weren't originally designed to draw images, they are language models. 

Gemini (New Google Assistant) 

chatGPT (Open Ai ) It even gave the cat a coin to scratch with. 

Grok (X.ai)

Fastest Spacecraft

According to NASA, the fastest spacecraft ever made is the Parker solar probe going very close around the sun on a highly elliptical orbit. It is traveling 430,000 miles per hour, over a million kilometres per hour. There is a shield on it made of carbon foam that is stopping the  spacecraft from melting in the sun's intense heat, but it is very close to the star.

If you go within 4 million miles of the sun's surface, you need to be moving fast to achieve orbit. Otherwise the intense gravity of the sun you pull you down. The speed is to stop the probe cascading down to the surface of the sun. 

London Underground

The Metro rail system in London is largest in the world when the overground network is also considered. 

The standard tube network alone consists is of 402 km of railroad. This makes it the 3rd largest in the world. 

There is also a large overground network throughout London. 

There are many instances when a street will have two train stations on it with a 5 to 10 minutes walk between them; Places like frogmore and Eastcoat. 

Plus there are trams and lite robotic trains(DLR). London is so crammed with trains that there is always a station nearby. 

Draw on Command

Google's Gemini artificial intelligence system can now draw on command. I asked it myself to draw and octopus playing pool.

Just like many other ai systems it will read your command and draw a unique image in seconds. It is hard to tell what is more amazing, the ai understanding what you're asking of it, or the speed of it creating something for you. 

Google's Gemini ai is free to download and use and can replace your Google assistant. You can then say "hey Google draw a tree in space" or something like that. 

Earth Perspective

If Earth was an Orange the atmosphere would be the peel. The maximum extent of the Earth's atmosphere is 96km, but the earth is 12,000 km wide. Most large jet airliners cruise at about 11 to 12 km above sea level, a small fraction of the earth's atmosphere.

If you thought there is more than 1% composition of carbon dioxide you would be wrong. Carbon dioxide comprises less than half a percent. There is more Argon in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide at roughly 1%.
