We Love Floods! My trip to Dordrecht NL.

Recent Flooding in the Netherlands reminds me of my trip to Dordrecht where for 10 days on a canal boat, my research team learned to love the flood :)

It’s nice that Mayor Bloomberg wants a clean place for free speech and assembly, but #OWS should beat him to it and clean Zuccotti Park!

Aesa, Lola, and I got a personal tour of this Hercules tactical missile installation.  You can imagine their faces when we rode the freight elevator with a 10K lb. rocket, and then watched them raise into firing position.  And if that wasn’t enough, we got to check out two containerized radar control rooms (above) that operate the dish in the background.  The white containers are very evocative of the “Pod” form-factor of data centers today.
