My iPhone 4 gets a new look.
Way overpriced for what it is, but still cool in a Trekkie geek way.

I noticed this cup doing a strange little dance while it was sitting on the counter.
Whatcha think?
Ghosts in the plastic?
I can hear you now!

I’m back at work after an almost European vacation of 5 weeks. It’s all coming back to me.
Aww… Dammit!

It’s not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. If you wear one of these devices, you WILL ,at some point, say something you wished you hadn’t. And it will be heard by folks you’ll wish hadn’t. A Southwest pilot had that experience earlier this year. His unhappiness with the dating pool was broadcast across air traffic control frequencies when either his push to talk button got stuck, or he forgot to reconfigure his headset for intercom rather than radio. Whatever caused the mishap, he let loose to his co-pilot, expressing his frustration with the number of gay and older flight attendants. Apparently he can’t get laid unless the object of his affections is a young lady also wearing the Southwest blazer. Perhaps he needs to expand his horizons!
I’ve been caught a time or two by open microphones. Luckily, I don’t talk about my “dating” life at work!

Father’s Day 2011

I’m a bit sad at the moment, as this night rolls into Father’s Day 2011. He died when I was 49, and sometimes I find myself missing something that never was, and wondering about what might have been. He was who he was, and it’s surely a waste of time to pine over something that never happened. I wonder how he felt when he lost his dad, at 28. He never said, and I never asked. It’s odd how the person that is the closest to you can be the most distant.
I’m reminded of one particular moment with my Dad, and I’ve thought of it often over the years. Father’s Day stories are often heartwarming tales of the past, a wonderful moment shared between father and son. This isn’t one of those stories.
He was trying to teach me to swim, and only managed to scare me into a crying heap of shamed little boy.

Atlantis lands, Shuttles retired, NASA’s next mission is… what?

Space Shuttle Atlantis lands at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the pre-dawn hours of July 21, 2011. 42 years and one day after Apollo 11’s Eagle landed on the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility, the last shuttle to fly touches down on KSC’s runway 15.
It’s appropriate that this image shows the shuttle touching down in the dark, because the United States now has no manned access to space.
