What's an X-Wing

Well I did it...........

I've joined the millions of others before me who have created their own blogs in order to share with the world their thoughts and feelings about everything and anything. It seems that I'm always the last to catch on, but for good reason. I figure I might as well let others try these things out and see what happens before I take the plunge. As a disclaimer, I'm guessing most of my posts will be fairly uninteresting to most people. I apologize in advance.

To start things off with a bang I would like to draw attention to two things that I've run across today: Pandora and the 21 foot X-Wing Rocket Launch. I'm guessing everyone else already knew about Pandora, but for those of you who don't it is a site that helps you find other musicians who play similar music as that you already listen to. I could go into more detail, but I just suggest opening google and looking it up. It's fairly self-explanitory.

Second, some guys recently created a 21 foot X-Wing model and launched it in a empty field. For those of you unfamiliar with the X-Wing, it was the starcraft that Luke Skywalker flew around in during the Star Wars films. If you have more questions you can look it up on Wikipedia (although it is lacking in refrences.) Anyways, if you want to check out the video follow this link:

I really wish they could have made a stronger model.
