when Blade Runner was released in 1982, Ridley Scott introduced us to a dystopian vision of what Los Angeles could look like in 2019. Amongst the cyborgs, video phones and AI of this world were Spinners - flying cars. Now that we've caught up to 2019, it looks like that vision of flying cars wasn't too far off.
Sky View: A cool iphone app to explore the universe. I haven't had a new app that I liked in a while. I downloaded this app about 3 months ago. When you open it, it accesses your camera and points you to celestial bodies in the sky. You can point it to any star or celestial body and will tell you what it is (except for ufo's of course). Once you have fixed on a body, you can take a picture. You can limit it to the Solar System or beyond. The app also comes with a database that provides detailed information about any body that you are observing.
