How I am wasting my time
As you may know, I dig quirkiness. The quirky thing of the moment right now is the flight simulator X-Plane by Austin Meyer. There has been some notice of the program lately, but I've been watching it for a while.
Quirky? Well, X-Plane allows you to fly on Mars, fly Anime styled planes or design your own planes. You can even fly a jeep or a piano. If you like, drop that piano from a B-52 at 30,000 feet and 500 mph. Whee!
But even quirky, the simulation is well regarded for accuracy -- the FAA allows you to use it for training and some folks have used it to design aircraft.
So anyway -- now you know what I've been doing lately.
