Baseball

The Major League Baseball post season has begun.  The Yankees are playing the Astros tonight and the Cubs play the Pirates tomorrow.  

I’m rooting for the Cubbies because of Back to the Future 2.  I’m rooting for the Astros because the Yankees are friggin’ EVIL!

The universe would be a much better place if the Red Sox were still in it.

Red Sox

I turned on the Red Sox game just in time to see the final out of the season.  Mercifully it is over.  All of the players came out of the dugout, turned to the broadcast booth, and saluted Don Orsillo.  Class act.  I’m very glad I got to see that.

See you next year, Red Sox.  Please don’t suck again.

Fender

I seriously want a new Fender amplifier.  I’d need to get one with a wattage comparable to my Marshall.  A Deluxe Reverb would be cool but the output is way lower than what I have.  The Twin Reverb would be perfect.  It’s a 2×12 combo and a higher output.  Even better, it’s all tube!

I just don’t wanna shell out $1500.

   
   

Project Apollo Archive on Flickr

I never post pictures from other people’s Flickr accounts, but today I am making an exception. There is a new account called Project Apollo Archive that is essentially a dump of unedited pictures taken by the NASA Apollo missions to the moon. All of the astronauts had cameras built into their suits so they could snap away as much as they’d like. All of the pictures are unedited scans of the original film.

I believe the word you’re looking for is WOW!

Here are just a few shots from one roll of film taken during the Apollo 12 mission.
