Thank you very much.. wow. so much to explore and so many components coming
together :-)  Very exciting times we live in.. philosophy, concept, tools,
simulation, realization

Here'e another log for the global digital fireside.
[Just posted this morning to the CHI-WEB list]:

So two topics I have in mind:

1. A timseries version of the above do the above using python101 tools
[need to sort out the NASA datasets and write an Earth Model with orbits
where one acn vary the graviation params and demo why/what/how geostationary
orbits work]
 .. any thoughts about this.

2. How to make lg3d more interactive so now coudl browse & query the
datapoints?
VRML can obviously do this, but lg3d is so snappy it makes me happy!
