Big congrats and best wishes to Brigita, whose secret has finally been revealed. (Mouseover the cartoon of her and her boy.) Hey B, how’s about an Amazon wishlist so we can buy you stuff?

Max‘s anecdote last week about students who don’t believe we landed on the moon made me laugh. That is, until I actually read about the ridiculous program Fox aired to support the conspiracy theorists. For those of you trying to debunk such, uh, bunk, Bad Astronomy refutes nearly every argument from the show. In addition, NASA themselves responded on their site saying “Yes, we did!” You know, NASA is about to finish one of the most important missions of the last 10 years, and it’s just sad that people continue to disbelieve the amazing work that they do.
Wow. I can’t believe this. Dale Earnhardt died. I’m not a fan of racing or anything (I think it’s the most boring “sport” I’ve ever seen), but this was one of the guys that even non-fans recognized. He was my uncle’s favorite racer. I hope maybe this forces NASCAR to recognize how dangerous racing is and that they need to implement more safety restrictions.
Sarah Ryan, a current Weasel, responds to that Observer story about excessive parietal punishments.
Yes, I’ve removed the time stamps on my posts. Can you guess why?
Snookums and I went to see Tap Dogs last night. It was awesome. Six sexy Aussie guys in combat boots and Levi’s “tap, stomp, jump and splash their way through an energetic array of raunchy dance routines.” If you’ve got time, take a look at the Quicktime highlight movie. My favorite part was when they each had a drum pad in front of them and they danced on it to create a full rock rhythm drumline (bass, high hat, everything). The bit with the angle grinders and showers of sparks was damn sexy too. 🙂
Make a Mr. Men or Little Miss!
You remember those books right? Of course you do. That’s Little Miss Kris, over there. Isn’t she cute? (Come on, it’s Friday night!) Like the fabulous StorTroopers, there aren’t a lot of options so you may have to do some Photoshopping to complete the likeness. (Link courtesy of not.so.soft)
Cool! The official Harry Potter site is now up! It’s a bit Flash-intensive, but it’s worth it, I think. Make sure you watch the introduction movie… The tone of the design seems to be darker and scarier than I expected. And I’m proud to announce that I’ve been sorted into Gryffindor!
Microsoft says open-source software is un-American. Excuse me while I collapse in giggles. Whew! That’s a good one. On a related note, I just bought Rebel Code: Linux and the Open-Source Revolution for vacation reading. It looks good… I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Sorry for the lack of posts today. I’ve been in running around between offices for meetings. Ugh. All done now. *smile* And my mom just came through with the happy thought of the day: My younger brother Anthony was designed “Tuffy Muffler Player of the Game” at his high school basketball game last night. He had 16 points against our curséd rivals, the Panthers of Prairie Heights. Congrats, Antny!
