Smell-O-Vision

I’m fairly certain I recall a movie (comedy, I’m guessing) in which the idea of Smell-O-Vision was rekindled. It was in the 80’s, I think. Anyone remember such a show? A quick search brought me the historical facts, which made me laugh. http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/spec/belknap/exhibit2002/smell.htm *UPDATE* My wife was able to tell me the reference came from… Continue reading Smell-O-Vision

Huygen’s Update

Despite recent exposure to a “communications glitch,” I am continually impressed by what we’re seeing from this latest celestial achievment. Getting images, let alone audio, from Titan is just awesome! Generically speaking, it’s just some rocks on dirt in a orangish environment. Could be mistaken for Mars under poor lighting conditions. However, seeing images from… Continue reading Huygen’s Update

For Christmas (Yule, what have you), I commissioned a song in Amy’s honor. I also created a video around the song for her to see Christmas morning.

Testing BlogJet

Good Friends, Drew and Batinna

Some good friends of mine, Drew and [Ba]Tin[n]a, just had a baby. They already have a boy – eight or nine I think – so they’re not new at this, just rusty. The girl was born by force Monday. She’s 7lb some-odd ounces (pretty much a perfect weight). Drew, in his sleep-deprived state, has either… Continue reading Good Friends, Drew and Batinna

Site Update

The site underwent a minor change to avoid confusion. I was tired of the ‘Live Journal’ reference for my blog, so I removed that link. I also removed the site’s news from the homepage and replaced it with my blog. There. Now you’re forced to view the blog if you land on the site. Incidentally,… Continue reading Site Update
