• OK, I think I’ve got the server issue squared away (fingers crossed)
• RIP: Paul Newman
• Well deserved congratulations go out to the many folks involved in SpaceX’s Falcon 1 rocket and its successful launch as the first privately developed rocket into orbit. After three disheartening previous failed attempt, it’s wonderful to see them finally pull it off. If anyone thinks that’s a bad track record, they should go back and research the success rate of the early NASA rockets. It’s anything but easy to design and make rockets of this magnitude work. So to the SpaceX crews, congratulations. Welcome to the ranks of civilian space exploration.
• Congratulations also go out to The Simpsons, for beginning their record-tying 20th season on the air.
• Nice. Google’s error page for their error page.
• Would that the USA could have nearly the broadband service that Japan does. Let alone what they are about to get.
• Nice time lapse of a Boeing 720b getting taken apart
• As you may have noticed, I finally got a couple movie reviews posted. I’m gonna try to do them in sets of a recent review and one from earlier in the year for which I hadn’t yet posted the review. Also, the 2008 Films and the 2008 Film Scores lists have been brought up to date. The order of the top half dozen entries in the films list is not yet final. I haven’t decided quite how to rank those as yet.
