My day.

Here is a little glance into my day today. It is quite brief, mundane and rather boring. A woeful attempt at a photo diary some might say and some might be correct.

Here is what I had for dinner and boy was it good.



Here are a few snaps of my walk home. The quality is shit as the sun was rather glaring, I was walking rather briskly while rocking out to the Foo Fighters rendition of the Elton John classic "Tiny Dancer". All of this was then compounded by the fact that I was taking the pictures with my phone. Sexy results.














And thats pretty much it. I might try taking more pictures of my day over the coming weeks and months. Or maybe I won't, it is a lot of fucking work. Finally, I challenge you to figure out what this is:

Push The Envelope

In reference to comment left the previous post to this I am going to attempt the origin and meaning of "Push The Envelope".

It originally comes from mathematics, more specifically from aeroplane design.

In mathematics, an envelope is the enclosing boundary of a set or family of curves that is touched by every curve in the system. This usage is known from the latter part of the nineteenth century. It’s also used in electrical engineering for the curve that you get when you connect the successive peaks of a wave. This envelope curve encloses or envelops all the component curves.

In aeronautics, the envelope is the outer boundary of all the curves that describe the performance of the aircraft under various conditions of engine thrust, speed, altitude, atmospheric conditions, and the like. It is generally taken to be the known limits for the safe performance of the craft.

Test pilots have to test, or indeed "push", these limits to establish exactly what the plane is capable of doing. Test pilots called this pushing the edge of the envelope in the 50's and 60's, but this was soon shortened because it doesn't sound as cool as Pushing the Envelope.

The term was popularised by a book called "The Right Stuff" (later made into a move I believe) written by Tom Wolfe in 1979. It was about test pilots and the early space program (of which the Bell X-1 from the banner was a part). It became widely used in general language in the mid to late 80's.

I'm really hip.
