One of my favorite movies when I was young was the Time Machine, the old film based on H.G. Well's novel. When I saw this picture my imagination flew back to how I felt when I used watch the Time Machine. I knew the story wasn't realistic but I didn't mind believing it for a few hours and pretending that I too was visiting those historic, futuristic and mystical places. "How cool would it be if that actually worked," I'd think to myself.
Recently, as you can read in this article, a modern artist made me ponder that same though again. The thought goes something like, "Telescopes that look out into space. Wouldn't it be so cool to see just across the ocean?" British artist Paul St. George has done it! Well, along with everyone else who uses the modern technology of webcasting, skypeing, and videoconferencing. But as the article points out St. George's version is much more intriguing and forces us to reflect on the marvel of our technological advances, ones which we largely take for granted. Take a look!

This is a very cool thing. I saw it under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York recently. It was early evening in NY, so about 3am in London, so there wasn't much going on over there.
