My Take on the Obama - Clinton News Conference

... is that this is more interesting:  How come you didn't see the whole of the Moon? - Science, News - The Independent 

I didn't realize how limited those first space suits were.

Because Friday is the Day for Catblogging

We're working on the Catican PC again, this time with some help from our Maximum Leader.

NFL Survival Pick of the Week

Jacksonville over Buffalo. I've had great luck picking mediocre teams over Detroit and Buffalo. I've still got all the really good teams left - Pittsburgh, New Orleans, San Diego, Green Bay, etc.

Heading Back to Catican Country

... and not a moment too soon.

What the World Needs

... is a halfway decent teleportation system. Then we could visit friends in distant cities and never have to interact with a broken iBahn. We'd just teleport home and use our own, comfortable, WORKING Interweb Tubes.

This iBahn Thing Is Ridiculous

Day 2, still no Interweb Tubes in my hotel room here at the O'Hare Courtyard. I've got awesome wireless connectivity, but I can't get to the website that authorizes your connection. iBahn tech support is an automated phone service that tells you how to turn on your wireless connection.  There's no way to communicate with a human to let them know the site is down. The hotel front desk just tells you to call iBahn tech support.

Grrrr.

iBahn No Worky

I can't connect my schleptop to the hotel network and upload trip photos to share with you.

:-(

Boston's #1 Industry

These things are everywhere. At one spot we saw two of them across the street from each other.

Thanks for the Comments

... but I'm on the road this week and I'll have a hard time replying to comments until I get back to the hotel late at night. I've done a poor job responding in general lately as I prepared for this trip. Having said that, I read the new comments voraciously throughout the day. I love hearing what you have to say.

Wildflowers

Seen on an afternoon walk in Tierrasanta.

Bodie the Wonder Dog.

He Is Risen!

Have a happy and blessed Easter,  everybody!

Delicious Loco Moco!

It's two fried eggs on a burger patty on rice with brown gravy and a side of macaroni salad. A hearty Hawaiian meal.

Have the paddles and the crash cart standing by, OK?

Conference Noms

I'm in Hawaii for a conference. Here's our noms for the morning.

Update: I was testing out the new image support in Blogaway on my Droid. The resolution is much better. I think basic photoblogging is now possible.

Chaos Glassworks

Beautiful stuff to be found at Chaos Glassworks.

Adverbs

Did you know that an adverb can modify a verb, an adjective or even another adverb? I didn't. I just discovered this while helping my daughter with her English.

Pesky adverbs.

Liveblogging the Silver State Cup

I'm going to see if I can use blogaway on my Droid to liveblog our day today.

0853 - Having cold, leftover cheese pizza in our room prior to hooking up with the rest of the team.  Only the finest fare is laid out on our training table!

0902 - We're staying at the Flamingo, a tired, worn-out hotel. The carpets are dirty and there are burnt-out light bulbs in some of the fixtures. Vegans is tawdry by nature, but the Flamingo adds tattered on top of it.

0916 - Blogaway didn't work for this. Once published, your post is uneditable. Fortunately, the Droid has a good browser so I can edit in the normal blogger window.

1105 - I'm trying to find a way to insert images. I can't use the upload feature in blogger and Picasa won't give me the URL of uploaded images. Hmmm.

1314 - It's cool and clear at the fields with snow-dusted mountains in the background
The first game is less than stellar, we're down 3-0 at the half. We've got only 11 players here, so we have no subs. The girls are going to get tired and will struggle to score. Of course, we struggle to score under normal circumstances. .

Because It's Friday

... and Friday is the day for catblogging!

The Breakfast Log

A monster burrito.  It's as long as my keyboard!

Bedtime!

Here we go again!
