Wall-E


The cute robot Wall-E could be a good clue about our Future.
At least we can think about what is really priority in our Present.
Maybe recycling waste and nature conservation
 will help us avoid errors like those of the Past.

There is a funny video with the great song
 by Peter Gabriel "Down to Earth" which appears 
in the soundtrack of this interesting film.

 "Down to Earth" by Peter Gabriel
 Lyrics

 Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down

All these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
To hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You're always afraid of the change

You've got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
We learned to climb up a tree

Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
Oh, when we messed up our homeland
And set sail for the sky

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down
Comin' down to earth
Like babies at birth
Comin' down to earth
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
To find on earth

Comin' down, comin' down

Roll, Pitch and Yaw

Roll, pitch and yaw are three magic words
 which explain how the things fly through the world.
An airplane and its flying on three dimensions 
is a good example about the three motions.
You can visit this interesting link





 Curiosity: 
These motions have relation 
with curious inventions.
  For instance: 
gyroscope, geolocation,
 robotic, animation,...

Do-it-yourself

Do it yourself
and enjoy it as an elf.

An original worm in its apple
made with recyclable material
says: Welcome to April.
