Dr. Horrible

Dr. Horrible - NPH!

I won’t spoil it. If you are tech-savvy, and familiar with Neil Patrick Harris or Felicia Day - you’ll probably dig this new web series.
Ok. It’s not THAT new, only 3 days, and it will be gone by end of day on the 20th - but between back episodes […]

One track mind.

My child has a one track mind. I’m just sad that it’s Nascar.

We can spend the day at the Airshow […]

It’s a sad day…

Mars Rover to be TURNED OFF - due to BUDGET CUTS at NASA!

To save money, NASA will switch off Mars Rover Spirit for the Winter. What a disgusting fate for so intrepid an explorer!! What if it won’t wake back up?? Please DIGG this - maybe we can pressure them to restore the $4 Million to JPL. After lasting 1490 days into a ‘90 day mission’ - […]
