Although I neglected to mention it, Saturday was also my first bloggiversary!

Here's the obligatory crappy first post.

Thanks to Jay and Deb and Ith for encouraging me to blog, Smash for introducing me to blogs in the first place, my blog-baby Paul, and of course the god of all things MT, Pixy Misa, for providing such nice comfy digs

Saturday night witnessed the successfull completion of a Negative Time Tommy's Run. We left at 1:55 am and returned at 1:53.

Excellent.

We were disappointed, though, as we were the only alums (ex-techers) there.

I have Hi-Speed Internet and Digital Cable!!!!

$65 + tax for 12 months, and then I'll ditch the hi-speed and get DSL and it'll be the same price.

Oh, and free HBO and Skinamax for 3 months.

Love it

Excuse me, I have some TV to catch up on.....

Incompetent reporting doesn't just happen in the political arena...

Earlier this week, LA ABC affiliate KABC ran a story on the "new phenomenon" of blogging. Reporter Ric Romero even set up a blog on TV.

As you might expect, it's already a new FARK classic. Scroll through the responses. There are some real gems.

Welcome, Farkers! have a look around if you've never dropped by before!

Like when you open up your inbox after 12 hours (conked out on the couch last night. Yay 'Stros!) and find no trolls, no Spambots, and emails from your friends that you haven't talked to in months and an invitation to hang out.

I hope the rest of today is as nice....

From the man who brought you the X-Prize, the next big thing in sports:
The Rocket Racing League:

""It's bringing 21st-century racing into people's personal living rooms. ... It's really the mix of NASCAR excitement and spaceflight," Diamandis told journalists Monday.

Contestants in the Rocket Racing League would not necessarily pass the 62-mile-high (100-kilometer-high) threshold to outer space, but would vie to go the fastest and the highest in the atmosphere. In that regard, the EZ-Rocket — a rocket plane powered by liquid oxygen and isopropyl alcohol that takes off and lands like an airplane — provides a better model than, say, the air-launched SpaceShipOne rocket plane that won the X Prize almost exactly a year ago.

"For me, it's sort of a remembrance of 'Star Wars' pod racing," Diamandis said. "

Oh yeah! But where are they going to get Jedi to pilot the pods?

More info on the Leaguehere, the X-Prize festival here.
