Home alone: Science, Beer, and the miracle of the intertubes.

Kelly is busy building the Rose Bowl Parade float for the City of Palmdale (even though we actually live in Lancaster).

I was going to go back to work today, which I did for about 5 minutes to make sure the world is not blowing up. It isn't . The whole plant is literally shut down; I think there isn't even heat in some buildings, but I do have some work to do, so I'll be in tomorrow. 

This means that I have a day at home alone for the first time since sometime back in Liverpool, possibly as long ago as last January.

So what do I do with my freedom?

Watch The Science Channel, drink beer, and surf the internet for weird things. I'm also making turkey stock and scrubbing the stainless steel roasting pan.



One of my least favorite realizations as an adult is that these and Corning Ware actually do come completely clean after each use if you try hard enough. I used to think that they got stains that just plain happen despite human efforts. Unfortunately not true.

But I also found this. A weird dog responding to weird noises.



I want a strange and clever dog to mess with. Shoob's fun  and all (and all-up-ons today with no Kelly here), but I'm ready for a dog or a baby to mess with. Or one of each.

If The Shoob could do this, I'd feel differently. 



Only fart noises could turn High School Musical into a work of art.



Barenaked Ladies in the bathroom!! (safe for work). Play the "BNL Bathroom Sessions - One Week" (it's about 18 videos down if you scroll down). I dare you not to smile listening to these guys. Canadians make life better for everyone.

    The Intertubes are where kids these days post nude photos of their friends on myface.ww.com. It's where these "bluggers" are taking work away from respectable news outlets like Fox and showing people how to build bombs. It's a dangerous fad that is destined to fade out of popularity soon.

    Actually, it was Senator Ted Stevens's insightful remarks that invented the Intertubes

    "Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.
    [...] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material"

    There are definitely a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a great level to convey up. I provide the thoughts above as common inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where a very powerful factor might be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around issues like that, however I'm sure that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Both girls and boys feel the impression of just a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives. .
