March 15, 2006 - Wednesday Mad Cow Disease Here in Alabama
I
was surprised to see the news reports about a sick cow
here in my own state. My first question was where this
was found, but they aren't telling us. That's
frustrating. Don't we have a right to know?
March 14, 2006 - Tuesday
I was listening to
Leo Laporte's KFI radio show and a caller talked
about his online search. He was looking for information
about a specific company. Using Google, he could find no
negative sites about this name.
March 13, 2006 - Monday Star Wars Holiday Special - 1978
Oh
my gosh! I can't believe the
Star Wars actors made this holiday show.
Chewbacca is on his way home to celebrate "Life Day"
when things happen. This has the REAL LIFE original
actors in it -- Luke, Han, Leia, Darth Vader, etc ...
truly amazing to see these characters in additional
footage -- even if it is dated with a plot you would
expect from a 70s TV show and a bit less than stellar
quality on YouTube.
March 12, 2006 - Sunday Cracked CD from Netflix and Other Trivia
I
got my second CD in the last season of Enterprise from
Netflix and it was cracked and dirty as though it had
been mishandled long before it got to me. I never did
see the last season of this show and was curious to see
how it all ended. Guess that will have to wait a bit.
Fortunately, Netflix has a good return policy.

I
just found out about this new active wallpaper,
Desktop Earth from Digg.com. Here's how they describe
themselves, "Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator for
Windows. It runs whenever you're logged on and updates
your wallpaper with an accurate representation of the
Earth as it would be seen from space at that precise
moment."

Type in any words at this site, even a few
sentences, and you can watch someone speak to you. The
fun part is the large selection of male and female
voices to choose from. She also follows your cursor
around the screen. (Thanks to Lil S. for this link.)
I've seen this on other websites. For an exhorbitant price, a webmaster could include a person like this on their page, speaking to visitors. I loved the idea, but felt the price was much too high for "regular" people. To read more, go to OddCast.com.

Happy Birthday, Mom!!!
Dad turned off his cell phone
and whisked Mom away to somewhere private. Hehehe --
they do that sometimes. I suppose, with 7 kids, even
though we are all living on our own, they still like to
disappear now and then. We will have to find them
tomorrow and wish her a happy birthday then.

Thanks to Jennifer C. who
told me about
Woophy.com, a site that is collecting
photographs from all over the world. It displays a big
map where you can zoom in Google-style and then look at
the photos from someone anywhere in the world -- very
interesting.
