days are rather hot and sunny, and it’s very difficult to stay at work for 11
hours at a time when you know that your freshly cut lawn is being gently showered
with small pink and white flower petals from the cherry trees in the backyard.

(Not actually disgruntled.)

NASA is planning another launch of the shuttle Columbia. They are planning to send a seven-person crew to work on the space station, and are making backup plans for a second launch with a smaller crew in case they need to rescue the first crew.
They have been doing drills for the astronauts to be able to repair and replace some of the foam tiles during spacewalks. They said that the suitcase-sized hunk that fell off during the last liftoff and damaged the wing should not happen this time, after some re-engineering. They say that the biggest hunk of foam to fall off now would be marshmallow-sized.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed. (I will abstain from the obligatory Sta-Puft reference here) Our space program has been lagging for a few years now, and we could use some good news.
Testing again. Plaintext only, as the HTML formatting seemed to crap all
over last time.

This is the first entry via email. Just testing, really.
So, today’s project at Hack-a-day was a backpack that serves as a boom box. It’s a good and interesting project, but it reminds me of the days in the early 1980’s (yes, yes, I’m old. yayaya.) when people would buy the biggest boom box around and load up the batteries, and hold it on their shoulders, walking down the street. Nothing impresses the ladies and endears passers-by like carrying a giant cube on your shoulders and blaring “funkytown”. Those were the days. *sigh*
I need to get crackin’ on the backpack alternative. It’s gonna rawk!
