It is Sunday morning, and I came across this crop circle in Google Earth / Maps ... Foxy Aliens?

Six Revisions
One of my hobbies, or rather addictions, is browsing through countless pages on the web, also looking for information that interests me. This covers a wide range of activities from football, Formula One, to climate change, energy and current news.
One of my hobbies and things I enjoy doing is building websites. I started by doing the typical personal website that were quite popular some five years ago. However, that project was abandoned (with all the stuff on it lost) while I was studying Geography for a semester at Hope University, Liverpool. Nonetheless, I worked on two projects, mainly related to my dad's travel agency business.
When I joined my current employer after finishing my final year at the University of Malta, I was given the task to develop the company website. I was also involved in building two project-related websites (that have been taken offline after the project was completed) and some others. Furthermore, I am currently working on an online questionnaire for my MIRM dissertation.
Therefore, when I encountered the blog 'Six Revisions' I could not have been more than pleased. Six Revisions is a web development and design blog. The posts are quite varied and include many tips, ideas and resources. What's best is that the language and jargon used is too my likeness,ie neither beginner nor too advanced jargon. No wonder I added the blog feed to Google Reader.
Finally, it is very useful to me since it helps to stay updated on the current trends and developments in both design and development.

Wednesday morning
It is Wednesday morning, the day after Inter's elimination from the Champions League against Liverpool. The game did not go as all expected. I had a glimmer of hope after the first half, but when Burdisso was sent off and Ibrahimovic lost that easy chance up front I knew that all hope was lost.
Now imagine my mood right now.
I enter the offices at work and my colleague tells me that Mancini is to step down at the end of the season. No, not this one too!
It is going to be a long Wednesday...

As usual, money goes to the wrong priorities
The US Air Force has just announced that it awarded a multi-billion dollar contract to a company called Northrop Grumman to replace its aging air refuelling tankers. The deal is first to replace 179 tankers and eventually the whole 500 of them.
The cost?
$40 billion dollars for replacing 179 expanding to over $100 billion dollars for the whole fleet.
Also, the US military has recently awarded the largest ever contract in history for a $200 billion Future Combat System programme.
The Pentagon is furthermore expected to award a contract of over $200 billion to the future F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
And then they accuse Iran, Russia and all the guys on the 'Axis of Evil' of rearmament. What is that they are spending the money for?
AND THEN the US finds it hard to sign an international treaty to curb CO2 emissions because it will hurt its economy BUT, it is ready to pay those billions of taypayer dollars to enhance its military fleet. Not to mention of the poor of course. This my friend, is the real unjust world.
