Some of them have been uploaded to Flickr.
There aren’t heaps of them as I got a bit experimental when taking the shots and I botched some of them up. Plus, I was shaking like crazy when I was trying to take the pictures. Eh, nuff excuses. The Flickr folder is here.

Wow wow wow.
I saw the Discovery Shuttle launch just over 6 hours ago and my hands are still jumping around with excitement as I type this (or perhaps that’s from the Jolly Rancher ‘Screaming Sours’ soft and chewy candy that I just ate). Whatever is causing this feeling, I know that what I saw today was just freaking amazing.
Cross another item off the “things I’ve always want to see and do” list. Pics coming later. I am f#%ken stoked.

I was sifting though the documentation for a new power supply I had been given at work when I came across a gem of a cartoon regarding lightning protection, which is oh so appropriate for Florida. Note this piece of equipment is made by a reputable company so I’m wondering why they have an offbeat cartoon like this. Not that it’s a bad thing of course.
Yes, “Unprotected power/control lines and antenna installations can be hazardous to equipment and personnel” (and your butt).

I’m a sucker for blurbs on movie rentals that I haven’t really heard anything about. If something says “Fantastic! A wild ride” by even some anonymous John Doe sort of reviewer, I’m prone to being wooed in by the review snippet and I’ll rent the movie. After I’ve watched some movies though using that method as a guideline however I tend to end up thinking “that reviewer must be on crack”, but I don’t end up changing my ways. There are two people who may be reading this blog (seriously people, get outside and get a breath of fresh air or something, it’s much more beneficial) that I know of who are probably nodding their heads right now. Nav is one of them.
Enter Blurb Racket! This site takes the review snippets and puts them back into context. Now if I could access that site while choosing movies I would probably be a bit more careful in my movie choice. Or maybe I wouldn’t. That Spanish flick had R all over it so perhaps I should just remember to *think*…
Pffft, yeah right!
