6693 Memorial Day
May. 31st, 2004 09:57 amTaking a shard of time to remember, honor and thank all the good people who came before. I don't mean honoring war, but those that died in those conflicts and wars. I'm sort of extending the idea to all those that helped make the world a better place, or fought in the war of life, too. I'm very thankful that I'm of a generation that didn't have to fight a war for freedom, owed largely in part by the generation immediately before...for that I'm thankful.

Take a Moment to Remember those Americans who gave their lives in service to their country
This Memorial Day, please pause with Americans at home and abroad to honor the men and women who died so that we might enjoy the gift of freedom. Let us never forget their sacrifice.
At 3:00 p.m., simply stop what you are doing and think for one minute about those who died for your freedom. If you are driving, turn on your vehicle's headlights.
As you participate in the National Moment of Remembrance, you are helping reclaim Memorial Day for the noble purpose for which it was established:to honor those who died in service to our Nation. Join with the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance in honoring those who have died and their families. It is a minute of reflection that everyone can spare.

Come Together - Beatles video (3-D Shockwave) pretty dang keen. Some nice touches, like Paul being barefoot, and clickable karaoke mode. (Melon Dezign are the same folks that did I Feel Fine )
HELL by JAKE AND DINOS CHAPMAN Some people do scary things with miniatures. (probably not work safe) Interesting that Hell was probably destroyed by fire.
THX1138 director's cut is being released on DVD.
New mouse species found in the Philippines
Surprising find may be new genus( Read more... )
It sounds cute!
The Unreal Engine 3 looks amazing. Real-time lighting effects over other texture maps produce effects like this zombie walking behind stained glass as you go. There's a 160 meg video available to watch that really highlights the technology.

The General Tso's Tofu was good, but I think overdid the ginger.
I was blessed by a totally quiet day on call yesterday...Not a single ringy-dingy, save for my paranoid test calls to be sure it was working and a wrong number at 1am.
Geez... Even little house's episode yesterday was about Albert being addicted to morphine, and stealing from the Oleson's general store. I really wonder how much good shows like that have done... if they've dissuaded anyone from using.
Getting together with Danny today at 1:30ish... still not sure what's on the agenda, but I think I'll have a beer with my meal. I know that he's going to be a little tight on funds, considering that his vacation is coming in a couple of weeks, and that C-M breaks Teacher pay in a way that blocks him from getting a check in July. That's pesky... one of the things I dislike about freelance is the unreliability of a regular envelope.
