I love this stuff. I wanted to put a streaming viewer of the ongoing Endeavor mission on my blog and remembered that a video podcaster was doing this via Ustream. I’d used this source last Spring when I watched the landing of the Mars Phoenix lander. Funny that there was nothing available directly from NASA [...]

Sometimes after all of the political stuff and musings on religion it takes a giant step in the direction of silliness for it all to make sense. Thank god for YouTube and CollegeHumor… See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. And just in case you were still taking your life too seriously…

Buzz was that Microsoft’s last three ads changed the effectiveness of Apple’s “I’m a PC/I’m a Mac” ads.

It’s one-whole minute of scripted “banter” about Conquistador shoes before the 10-million dollar man, Jerry Sienfeld, asks Gates, “I imagine over the years you’ve mind-melded your magnum Jupiter [...]

I uploaded my first modules for my course this afternoon. Sigh. Needless to say, the crush to get the course up and running has been getting heavier and heavier over the past weeks day-by-day. Adding insult to injury, over the past week I got a new 320GB hard drive just dying to be installed into [...]
