hot air powers the point
The three swallow chicks above our entry have become five. Anybody have a dragonfly for these grumpy-looking chicks to eat?

According to multiple news reports, North Korea is threatening to launch a Taepodong 2-type intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from its Musadan-ri missile facility. GlobalSecurity.org has multiple satellite pictures and maps showing the facility. Thanks to Google Maps, you can be a satellite tourist, too.

A couple of days ago, I “bragged” about finally getting a MySpace page, and worried about getting a facebook account. I thought only college students with active college e-mail accounts could get Facebook accounts. I was wrong. Facebook also supports thousands of corporate networks, including my employer.
So now I have a MySpace page and a Facebook account. Someone stop me before I sign-up again.
Happy Fathers’ Day to all you dads out there. This is Jamison in his favorite climbing tree, who had been hiding this T-shirt for weeks for this special occasion. Kids–ya gotta love ‘em!
So, I finally got myself a MySpace account. Yeah, I know–at 43 I’m a little older than the target demographic. So what. I’m comfortable with my age. You deal with it. Besides, having a MySpace account allows me to see what my kids are doing (and what’s being done to them). It’s not going to be so easy if (when) my oldest gets a Facebook account.
Looking through other MySpace profiles reminds me of the early years of proportional-spaced fonts, WYSIWYG editors, and color printers. Can you say Ransom Note style? Garishly colored or graphic backgrounds provide a backdrop for tiny, low-contrast text and scattered pictures. Where’s the tag when you really need it?
I assumed that I could write some CSS to make my own stunning, understated, elegant profile. I assumed wrong: it’s not so easy with MySpace. I’m back to the default look.
Fortunately, I don’t have to blaze a path. Mike Davidson recently fought this battle. Wow!
The swallows are back this year in the nest over our front entryway. They enlarged the nest, making the walls a little taller. Just this week, bird poop appeared on the mat I had placed under the nest, announcing the arrival of three little chicks.
When I climbed a ladder to get a closer look, two continued snoozing, while one was hoping for a bug. Sorry, can’t help you there…
Did you ever wonder what would happen if you send a graduation invitation to President Bush? Ashley did too. The card shown above is the result.
Congratulations, Ashley!
