I ran into a bit of news today that made me take a bit of notice. Microsoft has launched a new site Worldwide Telescope. I’m downloading the software as I write this, so I will give a more in depth look later. The software is supposed to be a virtual telescope with access to images […]

I can’t imagine what these teens were thinking… Teens often do stupid things, but this one is beyond stupid… I just don’t have much to say about this; I’m dumbfounded. I don’t understand how a person or persons would come up with such an idea – too bad they couldn’t use that “creativity” more productively! https://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0509081corpse1.html And

Ok, I know this is just asking for trouble but something strangely intriguing was brought up in David Letterman’s Monday night Small Town News segment. I have heard some strange town names before but this one takes the cake: Intercourse, Pennsylvania. The weekly publication “Intercourse News” has the subtitle “about families that do things together.”

I’m a glutton for punishment. I watched the second of the “Land of the Lost” shows, “Return to the Land of the Lost”. The same actors, with a different story. It was much better actually. I already knew that the story could not be anything like the book. After the first movie I wasn’t expecting

So the other day I was waiting outside Walmart for my husband to get our Wii-fund… I know, I said I wasn’t going to wait in the car with the kids anymore, but I dropped him off and went home to get some forgotten items for our Mother’s Day excursion, so I wasn’t sitting there
It is official. Wii wiiturned the Wii for a Wiifund. Although I had some fun playing it, I deifnately did not see the long term value and did not see it working well for a workout. Not better than the lower cost Xavix anyhow. So, it is now history but… Funny story! When I entered

While serving on the board of a local community agency, a certain personality type came to my attention: teacher’s pet. Yes, these people are alive and well and living as adults. Surprisingly it’s not something one grows out of when he or she leaves school; rather, the behavior seems to evolve and follow the person into adulthood. I use the

I have a 1992 version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Lost World”. I tend to like movies about dinosaurs, especially campy ones. Rubber dinosaurs, stop action clay dinosaurs, lizards with frills attached are all good fun. Newer movies with good CGI effects are also fun for me. The movie I have is more of
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. We decided to celebrate Saturday in order to avoid the crowds at all the restaurants and other establishments; also it worked out well because my kids often need all of Sunday as a rest day to recooperate from the previous week and the weekend before returning to school
