??? Earlier this morning, a "friend" posted a link to a video, but when I clicked on it (stupid, I suppose), I was taken to some promotional page that I ignored and went back to my FB newsfeed,...

Agreed about the fun of sitting in the studio audience, although one of my most uncomfortable moments came during a Kanye performance on Letterman. The audience was prompted to start "raising the...

BYU lived and died with Carlino last night, and I've made my peace with that. I don't know why he was hoisting so many threes throughout the game, many of them from beyond the NBA arc, but I'm sort...

It's a little troubling that my billables have spiked a bit since this mess began. I can't let Mrs. PAC know of this or else it's

That's interesting, Ted. I'm fascinated and troubled that a few geeks have so much time on their hands, not to mention malice in their hearts, that they would do this sort of thing as it provides...

I'm adding you in your stunning Easter ensemble to my dream.

I've already bragged up our excellent (and unmarried!) daughter who landed the gig as music administrator for the Fallon show several weeks ago. As long as she doesn't screw up (one must allow for...

I don't need/want to know the details, but can anything been done to prevent this from happening again? Or can the criminal simply repeat the same attack with the same result?

It's like when a different faith's church burned down in our area and we loaned them our building for meetings until they found alternate facilities. Thanks, UB5!

Austria (and the southern tip of Germany) 1971-73. Unless someone wakes up BYU71 from his nap, I expect I'll be the reigning geezer in this thread.

When I got into this stuff back at the height of the Cold War, it didn't change my view of the U.S. or my dad's generation, but it changed the way I viewed the Russian people, which was a good thing,...

Soviet losses in WWII were stunning. The United States lost too many young lives (just over 400,000, I think), but the Soviets lost around 25 Million, including civilians, more than three times as...

It's a two-DVD series (Experiencing Hubble: Understanding the Greatest Images of the Universe) from The Great Courses. It was a special offer ($9.95), and it's certainly worth every penny. But now...

Coincidentally, the lecture I watched this evening was about galaxies generally and the Sombrero in particular, with a lengthy discussion of that photo. One interesting tidbit is that the Sombrero,...

I'm in the middle of a twelve-lecture series on the Hubble Space Telescope by a Northwestern astrophysics prof and it's been fascinating. The most recent lecture was on supernovae, and the details...

Seriously, if you mods do nothing more than eschew that form of praise/criticism, you will have done very well. I'm confident I would receive many red stars for that observation.
