Worst Movie Ever

We threw a couple movies on our Netflix queue because they were filmed out where I grew up.

"American Drive-In" was filmed at the drive-in we used to go to, when I was nine or so.

Plenty of shots of roads I know, places I know, etc ... but ... Worst Movie Ever. We stopped watching it not even halfway through.

A productive vacation

I took some time off just to mess around at home, nap & stuff. One of my friends from high school is coming to town for a wedding.

My home office is the cleanest it's been in a long, long time right now.

Someone pointed me towards LibraryThing today - I've been entering books in my library in between running compiles & stuff at work.

The site seems pretty neat. I'm about halfway through just the books that are currently in my office (which is where most of my technical books are - which is why it's pretty much all technical books at the moment).

I woke up with the phone ringing, thought it might be work, so I ran to grab it. I pick the phone up, and an adult female voice says "Hi, is [my youngest sons first name] there ( Read more... )

This is the house of cards they built Expelled on? Really?

Back in 2003, a man named Stephen C. Meyer wrote a paper entitled Intelligent Design: The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories. Another man, named Richard Sternberg, had just resigned his editorship of Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, but still had a few issues to get out before he was done.
