Another Drabble

I'm writing a "Five Crossover Drabbles That Never Happened to Lois and Clark" thingy. The first three are Space Oddity, Conversation in a Metropolis Parking Lot, and The Short Career of Kal-El, Alias Clark Kent, Alias Superman, here's the fourth, a crossover with The Night Stalker. It's also one of my Mistaken Identity drabble series, not sure what number I'm up to with that.

A Steam Car, Hurrah!

Gacked from armb; BMW are working on a hybrid engine that is basically a conventional engine with a steam engine harnessing power from the exaust heat, producing quite a lot of energy. It might even be offered as a conversion package eventually. Doubt we'll see it in bikes, unfortunately.

Guesses at Futurity again

Since Livejournal has given me a metric sh*tload more storage space for the permanent account I'm having another try at uploading pictures to the Gallery thing. Hopefully these will be better than my previous attempt to post the pictures - these are 150 DPI scans reduced to 75 DPI, and look a lot clearer than the reduced version Photobucket gave me. Still about 300k each, so watch out if it's a slow connection!

I've tried a web search on Francis Masey, the artist of the second picture, the most likely candidate seems to be a South African architectural artist - not sure of his dates but it seems plausible, he was active at the beginning of the 20th century and I suspect may have been around earlier.

I'd appreciate it if people could let me know if the pictures are visible to anyone else.

Anyone recommend a good tool for gallery uploads and management?

Oh, if anyone here isn't reading news you should know that all free users have been given space for 6 user pictures, not three, and that everyone else has now got more storage space. Which in my case, since I have a permanent account, is 10 gigs. Not sure what I'll do with it, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
