At least according to the Microsoft calendar at the bottom of the screen.
Now, it’s not just that it’s Microsoft that makes me slightly suspicious of that date, but rather that a few weeks ago I was looking through essays that I’d written at middle school that my mother had kept in her attic of the “How shall we live in the future?” art.
“How will mankind cope with the coming Ice Age? Was the question which one tried to answer.” The other was, “When I’m grown up and machines do all the work, what will I do with all my free time?”
Now, as the ice age thing seems to have been slightly delayed, my “skiing” answer to the second seems a little off. And how was I to know that the answer would actually be “blogging” or even, “actually, we’ll have to work harder than you teachers at the moment.”
So a reserved “I hope you all have a fantastic and healthy 2008″ to you all. But if it really is 2008, where are all the flying cars?

only just saw a spinning one one the memorable event of being (for once) a witness of a car crash. not enough impact for getting airborne. things I would have considered pretty si-fi stuff 20 years ago would have been camera phones playing music while shopping on the INTERNET - even a few years ago I would have questioned the merits of such a device - but then last time I was down in the big smoke searching the nearest wagamama I realised I really need one of those. and how did we cope in the past?
All the best. Hope it’s a good one.
Happy New Year! And yes, I’d also like to know where all the flying cars are…
They’re in the same place as the flying pigs…..
Happy New Year, Mr. Factual!
Haha. You know, I’ve been wondering that myself.
Happy New Year!
happy new year babe! xxx
