      FAILURE: when your best just isn’t good enough

      April 24th, 2006 by mike d. in Quickthoughts, Work

      I’m having a tough day. I keep messing up.
      Those around me have full right to be frustrated.

      SKYLINE 2

      April 24th, 2006 by mike d. in skyline, Features

      Skyline!

      First off, congratulations to Shamus who correctly identified the location of the last skyline as Philidelphia from the steps of the Philidelphia Museum of Art… and to Roland who successfully pointed out that the picture was from the United States. That skyline was made super popular from the Rocky films when rocky runs up the steps of that museum and appears all sorts of victorious.

      this week’s challenge is much harder.

      WARNING: the answer may be in the comments, so don’t scroll down until you’ve given up.

      First? the skyline. Enjoy it here.

      Now, the Satellite Image. Enjoy it here.

      Your tasks:
      1) identify the skyline shown in the photograph
      2) determine if the satellite image is of the same location
      3) if not, determine the location of the satellite image

      This one’s pretty tough. In the world of rockclimbing, I would rate it as a healthy 5.10c

      Good luck!

      (side note: if you took the picture… you’re not allowed to guess.)

      DREAM

      Last night I had a dream that I was going to this ski paintball invasion event. We all wore mini-skis and we had to travel to this remote snow-filled barren place via metal pull tabs and elevators.

      Last night I had a dream that I was going to this ski paintball invasion event. We all wore mini-skis and we had to travel to this remote snow-filled barren place via metal pull tabs and elevators.

      And Tom Morello, one of my favorite guitarists, was in one of the elevators. I got his autograph.

      Then in the waiting room a cute girl came up and informed me that I should try a new hair style.

      and finally, I got to the house and was given a paintball gun. It was my job to defend against 5 invaders. I ended up getting overwhelmed early on, so I ran upstairs, jumped out the window, and flanked my opponents. It worked perfectly.

      I woke up wondering who the cute girl was.
