From our washer and dryer delivery folks:

What does this even mean? Why the random capitalization and punctuation? Will my submissions ever make it to the blog of unnecessary quotes?

Night Launch

Video: Endeavour Launch

From the opposite bank of the Indian River at 2:28am this morning. Unfortunately, the clouds were pretty low so the video is short. We didn't make it home until after 4:30.

Does anyone have Twitter?

I got mad at Facebook when I received my first comment spam a few days ago and Myspace has long been on notice. I was in search of a new social network, and all of the buzz seems to be surrounding Twitter. Does anyone else use Twitter or want to join with me so I can test this out?
I've put a link above my RSS feed button on the right.

Suggestions

When I was trying to search for the video of the Navy missile shooting down the satellite, Firefox provided these suggestions:
Are these supposed to represent the most common searches? Apparently our society has a fascination with child birth and crying.

Navy Shoots Down Satellite with Fairy Dust

EDIT: After further research, I've decided to post an additional video so you can compare the animations of different sources. Enjoy.

Take Ben Stein's Advice on Money

I've been hearing complaints about our economy and the possibility of a recession.
"Health insurance is too expensive." (Wahhh, get rid of your cable or cell phone.)
"Social Security isn't going to be there for me!" (Wahh, go to the bank, open an ira, deposit even 2% of your paycheck. It will add up.)
I'm tired of middle-class whiners. Quit having kids you can't afford and living lifestyles you can't afford. Don't get a mortgage with the first 5 years as interest-only. You're not building equity! Why not rent for cheaper since you're throwing your money away anyway. Save up for those 5 years and maybe you'll have a down payment. The government isn't to blame for people's financial mistakes. And I shouldn't have to spend a dime of my tax money on someone else's irresponsibility.
ANYWAY, read Ben Stein's humorous investment advice which was the original point of this post.

Stop Complaining..

...and visit this website. Someone set up a message board for people to talk about the things that are going fine in their lives. It's not very pleasing on the eyes, but they just got up and running a few days ago so I'm sure improvements will be made. I'm about to make a post!

I hope you know the finnish word for "open"
