In revealing bad judgement, there are new ways of attempting to hide the satellite dishes we mount on our houses and apartments. It’s called Sqish and made in the U.K. (where else?). Their solution is remarkable. Remarkable in the way that this company actually sells camouflage to cover your exposed satellite dishes. Here is the sqish-o-flage in action, for brick.
You can find this product on the web Sqish Satellite Dish. My favorite page is the Gallery of satisfied customers. I don’t know about you, but I question every customers thoughts after viewing the gallery page. You cannot pretend like it’s completely camouflaged! I’m sure the camouflage for these satellite dishes will be coming to the States very soon. I mean who knows, Sqish probably has already sold millions of products and works so well we cannot even see it on houses all over America.
In their defense, this cover is a bit more effective.

I have been trying for months to formulate a post that might capture your imagination about the ongoing situation in Darfur. If a picture says a thousand words, then a video says…

In Bejing earlier this week, China has launched a second satellite in recent months. These satellites are being launched to better forecast the weather for the Summer 2008 Bejing Olympics. Obviously weather will be a factor in the Summer with the heat and outdoor activities. I expect the United States to dominate in usual Olympic fashion.
To read more about the satellite launch check out the Herald Tribune. The Fengyun-3 satellite was launched on a Long March-4C rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi province, the China Meteorological Administration said. China is worried that rain in August could be a damp rain dumping month in Beijing; it might ruin the opening night of the Olympics on August 8th.
The Olympics is airs on NBC and you can all follow the competitions via the schedule of events.

We are all heart struck by the tragedy in Burma, where thousands have perished in a natural disaster. Satellite images have captured the cyclone in action in a series of several images shot from above.
By rolling your mouse over the images from left to right and you can see the progression of flooding and damage caused by the cyclone. See the Satellite images of the flooding via the NY Times.
Amidst the turmoil, aid has been slow at best to reach those in need. Read the Asia Pacific NY Times news article Aid for Myanmar Mobilizes, Mixed With Criticism. There is talk of how the White House has answered the request for aid in Myanmar. Some are in favor of the US assistance, while others are upset that the US government criticized the Myanmar government prior to offering assistance. Bottom line is that we all have many emotions when thousands of lives are at stake, and tensions can run high. I hope we can deliver food and aid to the people in need in time.
