Overture

Overture.

It plays before every live. Makes me ready and happy.

Today it should've been the 6th Year Birthday Live. It will happen in July. But today is their anniversary. Congratulations, Nogizaka-chan! Here's to many more!

Bookstore Haul 2: Vol 10 It's A Birthday Party

Plenty of birthdays in October. While in the bookstore, I bought cards. A couple of birthday cards. And a Halloween card. One for the nephew. One for the sister-in-law. One for the niece. Nice.

Also, an issue of Monocle.

"If you ever broadcast my age over the air again, I will beat you to death with your own microphone." "You may be 36, but you still have all the spark and sass of a 35-year old."

46. Forty-six.

That number came up in quite a few situations today. Sort of like a subliminal reminder that the year rolls over and we have not got any more wiser.

A W on A BDay

For my baseball partner in crime, Orioles get a W against the hated Yanks and Adam Jones hits an Earl Weaver special. He did it just as we were doing FaceTime.

It's been a long time since we've talked. There is the 12 hour time difference, and I could barely hear a word she said. Yet, we had some fun.

Yeah for a W!

Even better as nice present to my good pal, Marge! Happy birthday!

"Hell, I haven't read a comic strip ever since I realized Beetle Bailey wasn't actually going to shoot anybody."

Baseball, Brooks, and Broderic

Here's where baseball, Orioles, and I start.

Thirty-nine years ago on a blazing, bright Sunday, my family and I caught the 'Brooks Robinson Thanks Brooks Day' at Memorial Stadium. I woke up that Sunday and instead of going to church, we jumped up the station wagon and headed to 33rd Street for a baseball game. It was packed. We ended up in the right field bleachers. I could not understand a thing happening during the ceremony. I thought it was a special day because it was my birthday but it was special because of Brooks Robinson. Thinking back, I'm sure this is why he turned out to be my favorite Oriole.

It is the first time I can associate things with baseball. I'm sure we went to a few games before that day, but this one I clearly remember as baseball. The others were just a game.

This is how I've been watching Nogizaka46 4th Anniversary 46 Hour Marathon. I've been on my couch for 2 days. It is almost to the end. I don't want it to be. Which fansubbers are going to get the English sub for all 46 hours?

Forty-six is not enough. Forty-six is too much. Forty-six is going to be a marathon. Forty-six. Nogizaka46.

They are going to do a 46 hour web cast marathon for their fourth birthday special. You can watch it for free this weekend by following one of the streaming sites on today's link. I suggest you bookmark it, and then watch it with me starting Friday evening.

I am so psyched.

This Is 10

Not sure if you read my tenth anniversary post, but it has been 10 years of blogging fun. I have to post this screen cap to celebrate, and to have a reminder of the beauty that is the Registry at 10. Before it gets all ugly.

Dance Hall Daze

This past weekend YouTube has been flakey for me. Not sure if it's my slow DSL service or if the new MBP downloading updates in the background. It's really glitchy, y'all. Thankfully, we're coming close to the end of April and the end of the weekday musical coffee breaks. We've just got a couple more, but stick around -- BrowserMetrics is rolling into its tenth year!

The Turner Classic Movies channel is celebrating 20 years. In honor of this you should take some time to watch a few classic movies that will be showing on the channel today. You should also spend some time watching it for the next month, because there will always be something good on.

It's one of my favorite channels. I would get rid of my television except for this channel.

30 Years And Computing

Apple is celebrating 30 years of the Macintosh. It's a neat site, because you participate by entering which was your first Mac and what did you do with it.

My first Mac was the PowerBook 140, the beginning of my fascination with their laptops. I'm planning to get their latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, but I'm waiting for the right time. It seems like I'm always waiting for the right time with Apple.

After the PowerBook 140 came the PowerBook 190 five years later. Then came the TiBook another seven years during which I wanted but never could buy a desktop Mac. My first one was a Mac Mini… I'll keep waiting and waiting for a better desktop…

Here's to another 30 more years of the Mac and to Apple.

"Okay. How about this? We send a reporter, transit police, go in... No? Okay, I go on the air every seven minutes, blah, blah, blah."

There is no content on this post. I just wanted a post today.

Why is it that the animated films I watch in autumn end up being my favorites for the year?

"Dave, parenting is something you can learn as you experience it; like riding a bike, or like filing a restraining order against a crazy aunt."

Link of the Day [9.11.12]

On this, the 11th anniversary of a terrible, terrible day, remember as you go to vote that it was a Republican president who ignored the warnings. It could've been stopped. It wasn't stopped because Bush was president. How much longer must you vote Republican before you realize that that party needs to be dissolved? They're evil and they lie; they have no business receiving your vote. None. Nada. Zip. They bungled the 00s.

Bonne Anniversaire

First Post!

Has it been six years?

Yup. Today is BrowserMetrics's birthday! Happy birthday to me!

I would like to thank all six of my readers. With all of you showing up two years into my blogging. It is nice to think that I've got someone reading at least. I know I'm worldwide, too.

Here's to another six more.

January 28, 1986

I was sitting in the Common Room with an early free period. I think it was day 2 and Religion wasn't schedule for then. I had just settled down on the couch with some friends when someone came from the library.

"The shuttle has exploded."
"Bullshit."
"They're showing it on tv in the library."

We got up, went to the library and watched. What a catastrophe! I remember the iconic plumes of the solid rocket boosters, twisting free from the wreckage. I remember them doing their death spiral down until self-detonation. I remember the rain of debris as they seemingly floated gently down to splash into the ocean.

Twenty years ago. Yet it is still vivid in memory. I have had a morbid fascination with that event ever since and have read lots on the subject. Things an engineer has to know. Murphy's Law. Blind luck. Pure fate. The gods have spoken.

NASA history of the Challenger tragedy.
