Forgotten link: flash(?), space(?), photo with blue-dialed watch... July 7, 2010 9:26 PM Subscribe
Long shot - looking for a (flash?) link that was posted a couple (several?) months ago in the blue. All I remember: inside.
The link was to a flash presentation on space, or something like it (think powers of 10, but not that). It had a series of still photos - and in one of the photos was a watch with a blue dial.
Does anyone remember this? Could someone please point me to the link?

This fpp has a video that talks about powers of 10 and space.

Minor question: would it have been hard to put the relevant information -- what the flash link contained -- on the front page portion of the post, rather than the more-inside? That way, I wouldn't have had to click through to know whether or not I had any clue how to help...

You clicked through to complain, so what's the difference?

Nope, I clicked through to see if I could help -- as I actually stated in my comment. But I wouldn't have had to had I been able to see the meat of the post on the front page... which was then the comment I made. Not terribly hard to parse, really...

Like delfuego, I came in to see if I could help but knew immediately after clicking in that I couldn't. If you want to know how I feel about this, I'll say so in my next post.

Thanks for all the links - unfortunately, they're not the ones. The watch was a real (not animated) watch. It was a still photo, and I recall it was on a white background.
Apologies to the folks who had to come inside to find out more. My goal was to keep the front page as uncluttered as possible - guess I overdid it.

I don't think I can forgive you for this, aberrant. I'm thinking about disabling my account.

Sorry about that, delfuego. A mod will be along shortly to return your wasted click.

Wait, they can do that?
Hey cortex? You're going to need to rent a dump truck and a bucket loader!
