Lovely. I got blog spammed today. If that’s what you call it. People (automated scripts I’m sure) post comments with inappropriate links and subjects to your blog by the dozen and you have to delete them. At least I noticed a feature in MovableType to do IP banning, so they’re all blocked. Hopefully that will […]

Don’t know if you’ve heard about this. An art student built this outside a museum in England. It’s a glass public bathroom made of one-way mirrors. Outside, you just see mirrors. Inside you feel like you’re using the restroom with the rest of the world watching. I seriously don’t think I could use this, but […]

Just recently, a good friend of ours has been diagnosed with acute Leukemia. We visited with he and and his partner for a while last night in the hospital. He’s a really sweet, young guy and I hope he beats this into remission and can get out and have a good life to enjoy […]

Had a good weekend, hopefully I’m refreshed for my first five day work week in over a month! (Only a month to go until Las Vegas baby!!!). Vic and I went rock climbing Friday then browsed for new games.
Vic, Jon, Marcia and Naji came over for games Saturday while Ian and Brian went shopping […]

Ok, this just looks freakin’ cool! I’d love to go to England/Scotland/Ireland. See castles, beautiful Ireland, and I just have to hike on the top of ridge like this.

Walking along Devil’s Ridge on the Ring of Steall Mamores in Lochaber, Scotland.

I just can’t find it in me to focus on work today. I can’t complain about burn out, I’ve had 5 days of vacation, one holiday, one day of sick leave, and one day of bereavement leave in the last month. I’ve barely been here! Not sure what it is. The project is moderately […]

Whew! A four day weekend. That was tough. I’m getting spoiled lately. Friday was my great aunt’s funeral. A sad occasion, but it was good to bring all the family together. Monday we had off for Independence Day. Fireworks always make me glad to live in the U.S. and be an American!
We almost missed […]

And I can’t sleep. So maybe blogging is the modern man’s warm milk. Well, doesn’t seem to be working yet. I hate when your body is so tired and just yearns to pass out in deep slumber, but your mind is wide awake. I don’t get insomnia too often, but I hate it when […]

The Cassini-Huygens probe entered Saturn’s orbit today, seven years after launch, and within ONE SECOND of the schedule originally called for seven years ago. That is freakin’ incredible!!! I’m just in awe of that kind of planning. The NASA and JPL people deserve a big kudos on this project.
Saturn is beautiful, images look […]
