• Tinkr Tumblr

    I don’t remember if I ever mentioned that I started up my Tumblr again. If I didn’t mention it, well I did. If I did mention it, I guess I am going it again. It’s usually updated more than my blog, except for this week though since I am out of town.

    I can’t be the only one that still sings this song when I count, right?

    Talk about a catchy song. It’s probably been over thirty years since I have seen this bit on Sesame Street, and I still sing it in my head as I count.

  • Timelapse video of the Keck Observatory

    This is a cool timelapse video of people working at the Keck Observatory. I saw the Keck Observatory on the top of Mauna Kea two years ago when I was in Hawaii. It would have been really cool to see the insides, but I am sure they were busy doing sciencey stuff. We just watched the sun go down, and then went to a lower, warmer elevation and did some observing through a telescope. It was a pretty awesome time for a space nerd like myself. It’s hard to believe that 125 people work full-time at the Keck Observatory. Talk about an awesome job.

    Here are a few of my pictures. It was pretty cool seeing the Sun set above the clouds.

  • Bacheloring it

    February 15, 2012 / No Comments

    Three weeks ago when my Mother-in-Law had her heart transplant the Wife left to be with her. She took a leave of absence from her job and plans on staying with her Mom until she is able to be on her own. She is doing really well, and out of the hospital now. She just has to stay in a nearby apartment for a few more weeks before she can go home.

    So I’ve been bacheloring it!

    It’s still hard to get use to how quiet the house is. I did finally turn the TV on last night for the first time since the Super Bowl. I have a lot of Netflix that I’ve been meaning to watch for a long time now. I always seem to find other things to do rather that sit on the couch. I’m actually looking forward to doing it again tonight.

    As for housework, I do most of it anyway, but my underwear drawer is getting low. Laundry is the one chore that I never do. I don’t think I have done it since 1999. It’s on my list of things to do tomorrow. Wish me luck.

  • Trailer for bobcat Goldthwait’s movie God Bless America

    February 11, 2012 / No Comments

    I’m not much of a movie buff. Very rarely do I see previews for a moving that I have to see. The trailer for the new Bobcat Goldthwait movie, God Bless America, really looks interesting. I love movies with killings. Horror movies are probably my favorite. There is just something awesome about shooting every douche you see. Obviously you wouldn’t do it in really live, but wouldn’t it be great it you could?

  • Flashback Friday: Dance Hall Crashers – “Enough”

    February 10, 2012 / No Comments

    I can’t believe it took me this long to share my love of the Dance Hall Crashers. I liked them so much, that my first blog domain, Don’t Forget the Oreos, comes from the Dance Hall Crashers song “Skinhead BBQ”. “Enough” is probably their biggest “hit” as it was also on the Angus Soundtrack. I love and miss them so much.
