A look into the spread of Foot-and-Mouth disease. The CDC has some interesting insights. Sorta. Oszie passes along this guide to dancing that apparently is very popular on the web. And finally Survivorsucks.com has a link to Survivior Monster Island! I’m betting on Godzilla to forge a strong alliance.
March 29, 2001Mamma Mia was a great show. If you love ABBA’s music or have even heard of their songs, you will like the show. It was paced well and the cast gives a great performance for the entire show. The second act was the weakest of the two, but ends with a great curtain call of three ABBA songs performed like a concert. It’s gonna be…
March 28, 2001Tonight Roger and I are off to the musical spectacular “Mamma Mia” written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus – the two guys from ABBA. The musical is chock-full of ABBA hits and should be entertaining. Alex told me that the musical has about two lines of dialog between songs. We’ll see if hes exaggerating or whatnot. Cruising through the Club Josh site today, I…
March 27, 2001My trusty JVC VCR from 1992 has gone on the fritz again, and instead of repairing it, I think it is time to invest in a new one. Most SVHS VCR’s can be bought for less than 300 bucks. A big change since 1992 when my regular low-level 4-Head HiFi VCR cost around 400. I figure this will be the last VCR I buy since…
March 26, 2001I really thought Kate Hudson would win, and I really should have picked Russell Crowe. Oh well, my picks came out 15/23 right or 65%. Good enough to earn a tie for third place in the office pool. I thought this year’s ceremony was good. It clipped along and clocked in at almost exactly 3:30. I do think they need to ditch the “Countdown to…
March 25, 2001I guess no free tacos. Mir came down last night with nary a hitch. Good light show, but no drama. I guess it is a good thing. Oscar Picks 2001: A note before I begin. I am only posting for the top 9 categories since my knowledge and experience with the other categories rates next to nil. I did however make picks for them, and…
March 23, 2001Happy 70th Birthday William Shatner. He has probably one of the best tounge-in-cheek websites for any celebrity.
March 22, 2001It appears that NIMA (National Imagery and Mapping Agency) has found traces of the long lost Mars Polar Lander. How would you like the job of trying to persuade people that three pixels is a lost spacecraft? I wouldn’t mind working in remote sensing or cartography again, but I am not sure I want to sign up for the needle in a haystack department. It’s…
March 21, 2001So today is the vernal equinox. Despite what some people claim, today is not the only day to balance an egg. In other news – did you know that there is a FAA-certified space launching facility on Kodiak Island in Alaska? Neitehr did I. Actually, I didn’t know we had one in Virginia, either. Where was I? Did I miss a bunch of press releases…
March 20, 2001Man what a weekend!! Saturday was spent hanging with the family and helping Roger with his HTML class. Ok I was more of moral support as I slept and he worked, but you get the picture. Sunday. Now Sunday was a different story. Sunday I scanned 71 pictures for the website. I started scanning just Gorn pictures and ended up with 51 of them –…
