The Big Ol’ Black Table Beer Run features entertaining (mostly politically incorrect) reviews of beers. Here’s a more innocuous one of Miller High Life:

Advertised as the “champagne of beers”, but that’s much too frou-frou. I like “carbonated butter.” Miller High Life is big slabs of deer meat on a toasted roll. It’s dirty fingernails scooping out pumpkin pie. It makes even the most sterile suburbanite feel like a Teamster. It’s outstanding. Rating: Extremely outstanding.

Although I’m not a big fan of Miller High Life, I agree with most of the other reviews, and even if I don’t, they’re pretty damn funny. Oh, and there’s a “sequel” page too.

I’m 46.35108% Geek (Super Geek). How about you?

Judging by this page, people are willing to strap a jet onto just about anything. Take a look at some some wild jet-powered cars, mopeds, and more while learning how different types of jet engines work.

Molecular Expressions: The Silicon Zoo depicts “photomicrographs (photographs taken through a microscope) featuring many of the interesting silicon creatures and other doodling scribbled onto integrated circuits by engineers when they were designing computer chip masks.” Discoveries under the microscope range from animals and symbols to Milhouse and Mr. T (at right), as well as a bunch more.

Now this is a hell of a shot! I think I’ve linked to the main page before, but if you haven’t visited it already, you should. It’s chock full of QuickTime panoramic images that are well worth visiting…

I’ve added a Message Board to serve as an area to discuss ‘80s lyrics, pop culture, and whatever else comes to people’s minds. I’m hoping that this will make it easier for people to get their questions answered, as it will be a more central place for discussion, and it will allow for people to help each other while reminiscing, ranting, and conversing. Please participate and let me know what you think!

Now that the power has been reconnected we did our walkthrough yesterday, and everything seems to be working properly, not that we were too worried about that. One set of new neighbors came over to introduce themselves, which turned out to be quite a surprise. When I opened the door for them, I immediately thought that the guy looked familiar. It turns out that he and I both graduated from the same class at the University of Maryland (‘96 aerospace engineering), and we both work at Pax River, although I already knew that from the previous owner. How cool is that?

PIA, the new cat, seems quite traumatized and hid the entire time we were there. I hope she comes around. I was worried that our cat Ozzie would have problems adjusting (and he still might), but seeing how scared this cat was, I’m wondering whether she’ll be able to deal with Ozzie, and not the other way around.

Things aren’t looking too good for the airshow here at Pax River this weekend. I keep seeing different reports, but in general they all contain varying degrees of rain, so it could be another wash. Missing the one at Andrews Air Force Base last week due to the weather was bad enough, but I wasn’t too disappointed, secure/hopeful in the knowledge that this weekend will probably be better. Oh well. 🙁

Like the buttons I’ve added on the sidebar? Well, you can download the originals here or create your own here. I’ve been meaning to make a nice banner or button graphic for the site for a while now, but sometimes the minimalist approach is kind of cool, too. What do you think?

These poor cats…

Visit this site and print out the form once you’ve decided on a time and place to return to from the future. This way, we can show everyone that time travel is (will be?) possible. Seriously, though, this particular argument is perhaps the most convincing proof that time travel is impossible; I think Stephen Hawking said that the main argument against the possibility of time travel is that we haven’t had any time travellers from the future visit us. Or have we?
