So this is what NASA’s come to after the shuttle
(For real- from the NASA Orion Twitter account.)
I shouldn’t laugh – the space shuttle Enterprise (whose Earthbound adventures I just happened to be researching last night for a project I’m working on) went on these kind of goodwill tours all the time, including a much-ballyhooed 1979 stop at the airport in Tulsa (why wasn’t I there for that? I shoulda been all over that.) There’s just something sad and incongruous about “y’all c’mon down for low low prices and see the new Command Module!” 😆 I still have much NASA love going on even while we’re in another late-’70s-style doldrums*. And who’s to say this won’t recruit some future astronauts who might otherwise never set eyes on anything that’s headed for space?
* referring to the period between Apollo-Soyuz (1975) and the first shuttle flight (1981) during which there was no American manned presence in space. For a kid who’d just had a lifelong love of space switched on so forcefully (ha!) by Star Wars, this was a painful period.… Read more

Fun but alarmingly useless fact
In the entire population of Facebook, I am the only person who likes Kasatochi Island.
I’m sorry no one else likes you, little midget volcano barely sticking your nose out of the Bering Sea. I happen to think you’re fascinating.… Read more

The All-Purpose “tell everyone on Facebook I feel strongly about something” emergency kit
For some reason tonight, I’m feeling artsy-fartsy and sarcastic. I’m feeling like tipping over apple carts and pissing people off… well, just for the lulz, really. Good thing I’m no longer anywhere near a transmitter of any kind! … Read more

Copy editing, y’all
One can only assume that this means you’ve dedeemed something more than once.
Ah well, I got a free Dr. Pepper outta the deal. If anyone needs any copy editing done, I’ve got lots of time on my hands, and 44 ounces of Dr. Pepper to keep me awake. Like the Ghostbusters said, “No job is too big, no fee is too big!”… Read more

They see me rollin’… they beepin’…
What a week it’s been. Major hack of the site (fixed), turned down for a couple of jobs that I was totally qualified for (getting used to it with a certain grim inevitability), been sick (blargh)… tonight I spotted this bizarre configuration of toys in Little E’s room and thought to myself… man, I wish I was having as much fun as these guys.
😆 (Sorry about the out-of-focus-ness, I really only had one shot at the picture before the boy gathered up his buddies for robot roll call at bedtime.) Thanks for the laugh, little guy.… Read more

Even the boy’s new toys…
…know when it’s time to call a designated driver.
Y’all be safe out there tonight.
Poor red Yoshi, passed out by the side of the road. He tried to walk home and it just didn’t work out. Let’s not even talk about the embarrassment of waking up next to a stuffed cow this morning.… Read more
