Cold Weather Exploring

Yesterday was the coldest day of this winter so far I figured it would be a good day for a bike ride.


I swung by work to say howdy and saw that the fountain in the middle of the business park had iced over and ice had accumulated on the statue in the middle. It was purty.

Attention to Detail

I've seen the first three Star Wars movies several times and have read the Foundation series by Asimov at least twice but I never made the connection. By the way, if you enjoy science fiction even a little bit you should read this series.

A couple of Obama tidbits

I just saw that he has released his official portrait and he is going to use the same bible that Abraham Lincoln used during his first inauguration.

Jake Misfires on the field and off

It looks like Jake Delhomme's troubles only started on the football field. His whole weekend was tough.

Wow, this is so bad

I've seen better videos by teenage Japanese punk bands.

War Machine

No matter what side of the Israeli attack on the Palestinians you fall on it's important to know that it is American weapons the Israeli military is using.

Dumber than an inbred moth

I love year end lists and my favorite of them all is the list of the 50 Most loathsome people in America by the delightfully angry Buffalo Beast publication. I laughed out loud twice before I finished #49. Be aware that the language on this list is much like the language here used to be until I realized more than two people were reading this blog.

More fun with Time Lapse

Set the camera in my bedroom window. The camera took a shot every 5 minutes and the speed of the video is one frame per second.

Time Lapse Experiment

Did a little hacking of my Canon Powershot. Now I have to figure out something useful to do with the time lapse ability.
