Microsoft are a bunch of pirates?

Slashdot.org is running a story on how Microsoft stole sourcecode from Soundforge and used it in their media player. See for yourself.

Make Your Own Hologram

When we were in Brown County, Indiana we ran into this hologram museum that was pretty neat. Now there is a store online that is offering do it yourself kits. They claim you can have it done in about an hour from the time you open the box to the time you are looking at your new hologram. Go check them out!

Astronomy Picture of The Day

Moon Over Shiraz
Credit & Copyright: Ahmad Karimi,


Explanation: Early morning risers around the world have enjoyed the sight of bright planets in this week's predawn skies - further enhanced by the celestial spectacle of the waning crescent Moon. From some locations the Moon was seen to pass in front of Jupiter or Venus, a lunar occultation. Recorded near sunrise on November 10th from Shiraz, Iran, this eastern horizon view finds Jupiter (top) and a brilliant Venus in line with the Moon, a lovely conjunction of the three brightest objects in the night sky. Although the Moon has now fallen out of the early morning scene, Venus and Jupiter (along with a much fainter Mars) still precede the rising Sun above the eastern horizon.

Just in case you only want to see the picture in all it's glory...

Email Blogging Works!!!

So the email blogging works and once again I must stress that all of the old blogs are just that … OLD.  And not the way I feel anymore.

Testing an email input

I’m trying out what it is like to email to my blog.  I just had the great idea today that I should start using my blog again today and saw some of the posts from a long time ago.  Man was I dumb, or rather more in the world than I am now.  Any way I think I’ll try to use this blog more to highlight cool things I see on the internet.  Or just funny things.  Or, well, really anything I want J
