5/5, y'all!

Have the greatest of Birthdays buddy!

Taking Julie to the French Quarter for our third year anniversary (Aug 12th). Can't believe she has tolerated me for three years now! We get in to New Orleans at 7:25pm on Aug 8th and fly out at 4pm on Aug 12th. Already have tickets for the WW 2 Museum. Any suggestions from those in the area or have visited the region in the past? Neither of us drink so the suggestions need not revolve around bars unless of course they serve good food/have good music. I don't do well with loud music in closed off places so suggestions for open areas would be great. Also, looking for suggestions for non touristy food places that don't cost an arm/leg.

GROUP METEOR SHOWER WATCHING! 1:40AM Eastern Standard Time Post pictures and/or impressions here. That means people with large fast digital slr's capable of large dynamic range. Like you nate. Carbon Fiber tripods recommended. Since this event also coincides with GIN HOUR (1AM EST), I would like to think of this as an evening party. Most of you don't care, but when was the last time you stopped and smelled the roses? Or looked at the sky? In this day and age of computers and instant on demand high quality music/movies/tv, I think we all need to slow down and enjoy the natural wonders that have entertained and stupefied mankind for millenniums. sourse: http:…

Have a phenomenal day Sir!

So I made a second batch of Peter's Purple Chicken, only this time I used a white zinfandel (Frey), almost a rose'. I tried to make a rue with the leftover wine (+ flour + butter), but it turned out a little tart. What can I add to combat the tartness, any recommendations?

Emo to be made illegal in Russia? | News | NME.COM I know it goes against freedom of speech and all that, but I still can't stop laughing.

Boy oh boy, what a skin this is. It's dark but way cool. I am useing Helios_Multi. And beyond that even, once it is setup you can go to the top of it and change the color highlights, boarders ect. I am in the Red Gray and Black mode. The gray block on the end is really a chrome like silver blue. I will do that next. Yellow was a chrome like gold and cool. The red I am useing is a deep red which looks like gloss paint clear coated.

It seems like a rave party in Moscow left some rave goers partially blinded. It seems like someone that operated the lasers was powerful enough to be seen in the night sky aimed it down at the ravers Party laser 'blinds' Russian ravers - tech - 14 July 2008 - New Scientist Tech

<rant> Could they stop with the freaking downtime every day or so? It always seems to happen when I'm right in the middle of writing a long PM or post, or when some Google search that I really want to see links there. I mean seriously, with all the advertising and donations, they should have nice servers, right? </rant>

Happy Birthday Kate Bush Thanks for all the Music!

I am working on a little project and need to buy a 320-500gb external hard drive. Most of my usual sources seem to charge $50 and up, I would prefer $30 to $40. Thanks all. Greg

I've tried several times with no luck

Guess what I'm eating right now? A churro -- my first ever. Baja Fresh started selling them, for those who don't know what they're missing (like me did...erm, like I did...n't...).

Last week there was a small-plane crash in East Palo Alto (SF Bay Area), killing three Tesla Motors employees and knocking out power to a chunk of Silicon Valley for much of the day. (Amazingly nobody on the ground was killed despite the plane striking a home child day-care facility.) East Palo Alto contains some dodgy areas, and is outfitted with the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system. It turns out the crash triggered ShotSpotter, which is designed to log and triangulate on loud, sharp noises, and to log the sounds preceding and following them. NTSB expects these data to be useful in reconstructing the events around the crash. Palo Alto Online : ShotSpotter …
