81 Years of Shat

Happy birthday William Shatner!

And for any of you who have been living under a rock and don't know who he is, well, I suggest you do some research pronto.  Captain Kirk deserves the utmost respect.  Not just anyone can steal the Enterprise and end up getting what he wants out of the deal.

Sir, we salute you.

Happy Pi Day!

For everyone who loves math, or numbers that just can't seem to decide when to stop, here's me wishing you a wonderful Pi Day!  Kick back and have a piece of your favorite pie!

Neil deGrasse Tyson Inspires Me

Okay, I've always been into this stuff, but when I hear him speak about space and our need to explore further, I get excited all over again.  Now, yes, he played a role in Pluto's demotion.  To learn more about that, watch The Pluto Files.  Yet, as much as I love Pluto, I've come to forgive him for that.  Pluto may no longer be considered a planet, but it's still cool.

Now, I found these videos inspiring, so I figured I'd share them.  After watching these, I can't help but feel that exploring the universe is an inextricable part of who we are.









I'm still dreaming. Hopefully you are too.

An Unconventional Space Shuttle Launch

It seems the fabulous fad of sending unconventional objects into space continues.  Apparently the space shuttle needed to cross into space one final time.  Not every lego set travels 20 miles into the air.  Maybe Lego Man went up again and needed a ride back to Earth.

A Beautiful Thing

Cruising through You Tube videos, I stumbled across something truly remarkable.  No words are adequate to describe this, so I present it to you, humble viewer.  Make whatever judgments you will.

Engage!

Waldo: The New chuck Norris!

Thanks to my wonderful husband for finding this and showing it to me.  I laughed so hard!

This is for everyone who remembers spending their childhood searching for Waldo.  You'll never look at that red and white striped shirt and hat the same way again.

Geeks and Nerds

The terms "geek" and "nerd" are often used interchangeably, though there's a definite difference in meaning.  I stumbled across this video on You Tube, and I feel like this really speaks to the issues that my husband and I find ourselves arguing about.  He loves computers and video games, while they confound me.  But hey, before you judge me, at least I like Star Wars!  If I didn't, I don't think my husband would have been able to look past that.  It's his favorite thing in the universe!

Anyway, enjoy.
