When I was little, I wanted to become an astronaut. I'm sure many guys have wanted to become an astronaut when they were young. Well, except maybe for the ones that played with dolls... they wanted to be dancers when they grew up.
So did you watch the Shuttle Discovery launch today? I watched the webcast on the computer... it was pretty interesting to watch... you got to see the boosters fall off, and then later the shuttle separate from the fuel tank. There was a camera attached to the fuel tank, and so when the shuttle got high enough, you could see the curved outline of the earth. It's pretty amazing, sending that huge thing up into space. There sure are some smart people in this world.

Tip Of The Day
Don't go out running in the scorching sun. You'll get really hot and really tired really fast. Probably one of the dumbest things I've done in a while.
Finished War Of The Worlds. It was pretty good. I thought the movie was good, too.
Read happy news today that Konfabulator had been acquired by Yahoo! and that it'll be given away for free now.
The weather was wonderful this past weekend.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - Police are on the lookout for the naked tickler. Investigators said they believe one man could be responsible for a series of bizarre break-ins in which a naked man enters victims' rooms while they are sleeping and tries to tickle their feet.
The naked tickler struck again in New Smyrna Beach over the weekend.
Investigators have been working on five similar, unsolved cases since 2001. Most of the victims are women over age 60, said police Cmdr. Wade Kirby.
Kirby said no arrests have yet been made because they don't have a lot to go on.
New Smyrna Beach is 44 miles northeast of Orlando.

really bad math joke
WARNING: You are about to read a *really* bad math joke. I love corny jokes myself but this one even I had to admit was *really* bad. I happened to chance on it while surfing the web. I had to read it three or four times, and sit there and blink for a while, and when it dawned on me, I had to let out an audible groan and bring my hand up to my forehead.
Q: What do you get if you cross an elephant with a grape?
A: Elephant grape cosine theta
Of course then my next thought is to share it with everyone.

Modern Marvels
I'm sure many of you heard about how on July 4, NASA's spacecraft Deep Impact shot a comet flying out in space, creating a huge explosion and taking some spectacular pictures. The Deep Impact website says that impact velocity was 23,000 mph.
Isn't it so amazing what people have accomplished? We live in a time of technological wonders.
As civilization has progressed, there have been a number of revolutionary ideas and accomplishments. Like the invention of the printing press, or the modern understanding of medicine.
One could say that thousands of years of civilization's advancements culminates to the modern world we live in today, the pinnicle of human achievements. We've put a man on the moon and harnessed the power of the atom. We watch television programming that is beamed down to us from satellites that orbit the Earth and take digital pictures with our cell phones.

And we eat In-N-Out burgers.
Ah yes, good times....

Me Talk Pretty One Day
So I just finished this book, Me Talk Pretty One Day, by David Sedaris. It's a collection of short essays, largely autobiographical. But when I was reading through this book, I kept thinking, "this just sounds like he kept a blog for a few years, and then compiled his good entries into a book!"
It's a pretty funny book. Quite entertaining.
I gotta run now. Maybe I'll write more about the book later.

Check out the caption with this picture from the New York Times.
OK, looks like when it gets squeezed into the page like that, it's hard to read the caption. So just click on the picture to get a bigger view. I think you can figure that out.
