Where does the time go?

I have been meaning to do regular updates here on things that both deeply interest me and momentarily capture my fancy. And look at this, haven't been to my own blog in almost three months.
So much is going on: the sad - the last flight of the Atlantis, Leonard Nimoy is retiring from the convention circuit, Borders is closing (heartbreakingly complete liquidation), the end of the Harry Potter movie franchise, and the exciting - Las Vegas Star Trek Convention, screening of The Captains in New York, Andre Rieu and Adele concerts, a visit to the largest antiques show in New Jersey. Of course, let's not forget this disturbing heat plume under which more half of the country is suffering currently.
I have got to buckle down and write here more often. Not that that many people are reading this, just for my own benefit. Sometimes, it is nice to put your thoughts down.

P.S. Speaking of time. Yesterday I have finally discovered what this strange gilded hole with streaming steam and running numbers at the Union Square in New York is. It is an art installation called Metronome, representing different notions of time. I am still not quite clear what steam has got to do with it, but another interesting fact about the Big Apple learned!
