Researchers Say Ocean Evidence Points to a Million-Year El Niño - New York Times
Well, global warming happened once before, and I don’t think it was due to my car running 5 extra minutes in the morning….

Dodger Tickets

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Naeem and I have 10 extra tickets for the Dodger game on Friday, July 1st. The Padres are playing at 7:40pm. Considering how horrible the National League West is this year, it should be at least decently interesting to watch.
If there are any Dodgers not on the DL at that point.
So if you want in, [...]

Andy’s Train Ride

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

My buddy Andy did a kick ass train ride last week, from Denver to Salt Lake City, along the I-70 corridor. My one time through that stretch, I wish I had more time to enjoy it, so i shall look at his pictures, and I recommend that you do too!

Childhood Meme

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Ben tagged me, and Caltechgirl tagged him.
FIVE THINGS I MISS FROM CHILDHOOD:
1) The beach. Specifically, BIYC. Sure, it’s like a 8 week long summer camp that you only go to half a day. But to spend all day on the beach, with no real concerns aside from water sports.
2) Driving trips. The family trip to [...]

King Tut

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

“King Tut Returns to Los Angeles” is what the billboards read, and what Omar Sharif said on the audio tour was untrue. King Tut was no where near LA, and in fact was not even in the US. Though, the sarcofagas of his mother was, and many wood, stone, gold and jewel carvings of him [...]

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

There are more Grand Canyon photos to come! I have my dad’s 3 rolls of film to post (He got horrid Costco CD’s…. which are OK for the web, but I am scanning the photos for reproduction latter), and I got Bob’s 2 rolls of film, which I will scan tomorrow.
And I found one [...]

Quiet Night

Friday, June 17th, 2005

Dodgers got shut out by the Chicago White Sox. While the game was on UPN 13 here in LA, it wasn’t really worth watching. DJ Houlton did a passable job as a rookie starter, but he just wasn’t up for the challenge against the White Sox.
I will be driving out to Dodger Stadium tomorrow to [...]

What song is she dancing to?

Friday, June 17th, 2005

So The Queen of England now has an iPod.
It’s probably time for me to get off the iPod bandwagon. It’s becoming too hip and fashionable.

Batman Begins

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

I’m just too hyped up after seeing this movie. Not perfect, but so much fun. Got most things right, and what it didn’t get right, still worked wonderfully.
Now, i try to get myself to sleep. No nightmares, no bats, no scarecrows…..

crud

Monday, June 13th, 2005

The lead person on the CNC routers is no longer with the company. 10 months of training and experience, all gone.
My life had gotten easy with him being able to take care of 80% of the problems on the floor for those machines. I’m going to hold a training session for the manager and the [...]
