"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I
started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day
before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's
on the worst day of my life."
It's been a while since I posted. Can't find anything to say. Haven't seen any movie that needs a shout out. (Although, I saw Surf's Up and must say that that film was made by
people who love surfing). Here's a bunch of links of sites, I've been reading lately.http://www.thatsfit.com/

http://io9.com/Here's a story on Brett Favre retiring. Damn fine quarterback. I'm not
a Packer backer, but as a fan of the NFL he's probably the most fun
athlete to watch. And he was in Something About Mary.

I have already said that The Complete Peanuts from FantaGraphics books is awesome. Really awesome!
I’m only 5 books in and it’s been a laugh riot. Next up is the 60s.
Be Kind Rewind is a paean to creativity and to those that inspire it in ourselves. It can be just a simple bedtime story or the films we watch. Whatever it is it can inspire.
This film follows the path of Cloverfield in making concrete the ideas of the YouTube generation. It is inspired and has inspired other ‘sweded’ films. You can catch a majority of them on internet video sites. Done by creators for simple, simple reasons. Unlike Cloverfield, it does posit that something magical happens when stories are meant to inspire. Cloverfield as a thesis for the YouTube generation inspires people to film their nuts getting kicked; Be Kind Rewind wants you to make your own movie about your nuts getting kicked.
3 of 5 stars.

Good luck.
AmiAmi makes me happy. I don’t know why. I don’t read Japanese. Yet, browsing the toy/PVC statue collection, I dig.
This slate article, I believe, is wrong. No matter how much you believe in the US form of government, don’t believe them.
To account for this difference, the three SM-3’s needed new software, hardware, and sensors, and the launching systems had to be given new sensors and software updates. The bulk of this task would have been assigned to high-priced contractors—like Raytheon, the maker of the missile, or Lockheed Martin, maker of the Aegis system. And it would have taken a large crew of engineers to rewrite the code, debug it, and test it over and over again—all within three weeks.
I don’t believe this one bit. I don’t believe that each of these programs, the SM-3 missile or Aegis, would put anything on their ship in 3 weeks. Maybe, to discuss the need to make the changes, but not to create, debug, integrate and install that stuff. It’s as if you had to write your PhD thesis in the last week of your program, and then present it to the board immediately after.
Three weeks is not enough time.
Here’s a better explanation.
Last year, China shoots down a satellite. From here on out with the ballistic missile defense is now geared to shooting down a satellite ourselves. So its one year from the changes to now. A much better timeline for how the navy and its defense contractors work.
Those changes were available last year. It took them three weeks to figure out what to shoot down.
Trust no one.
The truth is out there.
