Is this guy for real? All hail our heros Tom Delay and Grover Norquist.
I would like someone to explain to me why this is true.
To quote the article,
Pogue writes: Late tonight — specifically, 123 seconds after 1:00 a.m. — the time and date, for the first time in all of humanity, will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
Wouldn’t this have been true in 1906, 1806, 1706, etc., as well as come again in 2106, 2206, 2306?
Am I missing something?

On the Flip Side
I may have missed out on dirt cheap hotel stays in Japan, but UCLA beat LSU, giving me the edge over B-Dawg in our basketball pool for third place.

Golden Opportunity
Travelocity goofed, posting multiple hotels throughout Japan at just a fraction of their regular prices. Hotel rooms at some of the top end hotels around Tokyo and Osaka were available for $0 – $5 a night, much like the Expedia fiasco late last year. Unfortunately, instead of being home where I could find out about the deal and hop on, I was out having fun.
Hard to believe lighting strikes twice, though this time I get to follow along without having any skin in the game.

The Simpsons
The only thing surprising about the idea of a Simpsons movie is that it took 17 years to come about.
After posing as the “Wow Picture of the Day”, Sharpe James, the mayor of Newark, drops his bid.

Duck Tales
I’ve been humming the theme song to Duck Tales, part of the old Disney Afternoon programming block from the late 80s-early 90s, off and on for several weeks now. So today before I left I gave in to the urge to search for a download of theme song.
And, damn, it craked me up to hear it. It’s been YEARS since I’ve listened to this stuff. And how could anyone forgot that classic Duck Tales video game for the NES? So far I’ve tracked down Gummi Bears, Chip N’ Dales Rescue Rangers (I knew about the “other” meaning even back then), Darkwing Duck, and Gargoyles. Tale Spin appears to be a real challenge to find.
And for those who care, Gargoyles is available on DVD. I was surprised and will likely pick up a copy. Arthurian legend mixed with the Illuminati and other cults and myths in this surprising “children’s” show.

Bracket Watch
So the first day of Sweet 16 games wrapped up, and I just checked in on the brackets. The wheat is finally being separated from the chaff in the pool, with several people falling down hard over the Gonzaga, West Virginia, and Duke loses. Crazily enough, I apparently changed things up at the last minute before the tourney started, picking UCLA to be in the championship game after beating Duke in the Final Four game. I didn’t even realize this until after the ridiculous comeback to beat Gonzaga.
Good stuff – I love this time of year.

Who says the FDA has no value
I’ve been working on a side project for myself, and I’ve been wondering how in the world I was going to find a list of all the drugs approved in the US. There are various websites out there, but nothing that would allow me to load the data directly in to a searchable database.
Enter the FDA. Believe it or not, the FDA provides a list, updated every Wednesday. All ready for importing in to a database.
