SpaceX has made history. Its privately developed rocket has made it into space.
After three failed launches, the company founded by Elon Musk worked all of the bugs out of their Falcon 1 launch vehicles.
The entire spectacle was broadcast live from Kwajalein Atoll in the South Pacific. Cameras mounted on the spacecraft showed our planet shrinking […]
this is just insane…
Portland police arrested a 21-year-old man suspected of chasing down a cyclist Sunday and driving off at a high rate of speed — with the cyclist hanging onto the hood.
James F. Millican was arrested on attempted second-degree assault, driving under the influence of intoxicants, third-degree criminal mischief and reckless driving.

My lamp flickered and I thought: hmm. Maybe my light bulb needs replaced? Finished this thought, and boom–all power goes out. Grabbed my phone, called Katie, hung out on the porch. Thank goodness for a bright moon. I watched the spots of flashlights swing wildly around in the neighbor’s house, bouncing off the closed curtains. […]

Plus thai food and coffee and rum and shot glasses on strings. […]

Well, my niece Maddie has been tossing cookies left and right for about a day now. My goodness–even observing is exhausting. Seeing a baby get sick just breaks my heart, but my sister and her husband are simply amazing, attentive parents. They have a tag-team thing going when it comes to clean […]
From Law & Order to the presidential race of ‘08, here comes Fred Thompson. In the new Rolling Stone, there is a fantastic article that pretty much rips him to shreds. He wants to be president. He’s been quoted as saying the following in regards to playing one on tv and being one in reality: […]
