Apps are displacing the WWW from your time and focus.You HAVE to read this: The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet.

You already know that the world wide web (WWW) is just a part of the Internet. But do you realize that the apps are displacing the WWW from your time and focus? All those applications you run from your smartphone, TV, etc.? Read carefully this VERY interesting duplex article from WIRED magazine.

While we focus on Information Technology updates in this blogpost, here's a very rare and cool item: a space-theme cover, with a Technology Day Station pictorial postmark from 2006.

I never met an extraterrestrial [ :) ], but I did meet people who have been in Cosmos.

First I met cosmonaut Dumitru "Dorin" Prunariu (Romania). My mother is his former biology teacher in elementary school.

Then I met astronaut Henry "Hank" Hartsfield Jr. (USA)
We shook hands and he autographed this space cover for me (COSMOS3b, in my photobucket.com album "dorincard").

Maximum card: Hermann Oberth, one of the three founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics





Hermann Oberth...Tsiolkovsky...Goddard.
Sometimes, it takes more than 1 father.

"Hermann Julius Oberth (25 June 1894 – 28 December 1989), born in TransylvaniaRomânia, then part of Austria-Hungary, was a (Transylvanian Saxonphysicist and engineer, who along with the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the American Robert H. Goddard, was one of the Founding Fathers of rocketry and astronautics. The three never were active collaborators, and in fact, never knew one another: instead, their parallel achievements occurred independently of one another."
"In the autumn of 1929, Oberth conducted a static firing of his first liquid-fueled rocket motor, which he named the Kegeldüse. He was helped in this experiment by his students at the Technical University of Berlin, one of whom was Wernher von Braun, who would later become a giant in both German and American rocket engineering from the 1940s onward, culminating with the gigantic Saturn V rockets that made it possible for men to land on the Moon in 1969 and in several following years."

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
