Face the Wall!

Here is a really cool wall I found.  I don't know if it is made to look retro or it is just a very old ad for Coca-Cola?

Sai Baba

I have been watching the Story of India (on Netflix).  If you haven't seen it its really a wonderful show that talks about India's history starting from the early migration of man from Africa.  I am on episode 3 and am fascinated and captivated by the stories told.  I want to know more.  In that quest to seek more information about India I am going to try to track down books about Indian History after I graduate.  Another part of Indian religious history I want to know more about is Sai Baba.  He is an elusive and enigmatic figure in Indian religion.  I say Indian religion mainly because he wasn't really a leader for any particular religion.  He, as many leaders in India, encouraged religious equality and reverence for ideas and morals displayed by all religions.

You will be hearing more about Indian history and Sai Baba as I learn more about both.

BBC's efforts to restore lost Doctor who episodes

If you know me I am a big fan of Doctor Who at least the new series.  I really really want to watch all of the old episodes, but most of them are lost because they reused film strips because it was expensive at the time.  Which is why I am excited about two things:

1. They are trying to track down old recordings of the doctor who episodes and in a CNN article it mentions that they have found two recently.
2. Old tv signals are being bounced back from deep space with TV signals from half a century ago.  These include some doctor who episodes.  Radio astronomer Dr. Venn and BBC are working to recover these signals. 

This is very exciting.  Hopefully by my lifetime we will recover all the episodes and we will be able to watch them all.  In honor of Doctor Who here are all the doctors:
