Oops! Time flies around me. Must run the 13 yr old to school. Still no bus!
Links I enjoyed yesterday
These webpages I stumbled onto one way or another yesterday and enjoyed the read.
Life After the Oil Crash I don’t think anyone should take this seriously or at face value without seriously doing some research “Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky conclusion of a religious cult, but rather the result of diligent analysis sourced by hard data and the scientists who study global “Peak Oil†and related geo-political events. …”
Timothy McSweeney Presents: Lady Into Fox on the Implausibility of the Death Star’s Trash Compactor by Joshua Tyree “I maintain that the trash compactor onboard the Death Star in “Star Wars” is implausible, unworkable, and moreover, inefficient. …”
White House Releases Bush Military Record “Democrats said the documents provided more questions than answers and offered no evidence that Bush ever showed up for duty in Alabama from May to November 1972 while he working on a political campaign there. …”
400 UPGRADE This was my favorite find yesterday. Remembering the memory upgrade I did on my first real computer, the Atari 400. The memory upgrade was from 16kb to 40kb and done with a soldiering iron! “…Atari in effect discouraged owners from increasing RAM with warnings about voiding the warranty, overheating, possible electric shock or damage to other delicate parts if the case were opened … ”
A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa…
A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
* I just want to sleep but the 13 yr old won’t allow it. He has homework that did not get done and needs to be hovered over.
* 6:08 got up and got the kids moving, put wood on the fire.
* 6:20 went back to bed until 6:50 when I got up, checked on the kids, and brewed coffee
* Took the 7 yr old, his friend, and the 10 yr old to school. The friend was ready to go when we pulled up (7:08)–a first!
* 7:12 dropped the kids at school then went and fueled the car. Today’s gas prices: 14.667 gallons at $1.539 per gallon = $22.57 (that the cheap 87 octane)
* Returned home and the 13 yr old was on his “2nd” bowl of cereal but for all I know it was his 4th. I reminded him he had homework then I laid down for 7 minutes until he started making noises to draw me back upstairs.
Last Night
* Had a beer and watched history channel until 12:50am
– Deep Sea Detectives – B29 “In 1948, a B-29 Superfortress bomber took off from California on a research mission carrying a strange piece of scientific equipment–the Suntracker. But when the plane crashed into Lake Mead, Nevada, the Suntracker was lost. And all records saying what it was or what the plane was studying were also lost.
For decades, the bomber was a local legend around the Canyon, but its location was unknown…”
