Idle Words

Maciej's blog Idle Words is neat! I've had it on my blogroll for a while but I rarely seem to visit, a habit I intend to change. I like how he writes and I like what he writes, two extremely recent examples being Things I Have Learned About Foam From the Columbia Accident Investigation Board Report which is a masterpiece

"The orbiter design does not anticipate anything ever falling off of the tank.

A piece of foam traveling at 550 miles per hour can punch right through a reinforced carbon panel.

Foam falls off of the external tank on every Shuttle mission."


and In an Ivory Tower which sells The Getty like no flyer ever could.

Incidentally, for local readers, Maciej is an oil painter and you can view assorted Edinburgh scenes from Festival time '97 at his old site.
