Memories are either ghosts of the past that haunt us, or beautiful mirages that have banished into oblivion.

P.S: The "..." is just how I write in forums...

The science inspires the dream, the dream creates the art...the art fuels the dream and continues to inspire the science!

This looks like a handy little trick; I'm guessing it doesn't work too well on curved surfaces though, or the inset would be skewed? (like aircraft paneling)

Yeah, curved surfaces are a little bit tricky, but can be done if you play around a bit. :)
