7574 - More stitches and pictures.

Went with Danny to Waxy's Pub, and the top of Pier 66's Hyatt. Hyatt is far to expensive for what you get, but the view is fantastic.

Singing fountain got working again... I was pleasantly surprised that the water seamed up as well as it did.

Magda's settling in well down South, and Dan's teasing me a bit about it... no big thing, but I look forward to the cooler months.

Going to the doc on Friday, to retest for allergies, and the Derm on next Wednesday. 'Tis the season. Atarax works great, but turns me into a big ol' sleepyhead.

To celebrate the first Moon landing today (July 20th, 1969) Google have added some NASA moon imagery to the Google Maps interface and created Google Moon. Make sure you zoom right in for a hint at what the moon is really made of .

Moment of Lyric:

You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand.

I'm about due my next link-paycheck. I'm wondering if I should do an even $5 per for four different charities, or if $20 a month is better for a single charity. Currently, it is be divided across Asha for Education, an extremely efficient spending org (98% to programs); usually focuses on education and long-term socioeconomic change, but continuing to respond to the tsunami disaster and AmeriCares, another efficient (99% to programs) nonprofit specialized in international disasters.

What charities do folks out on my reader list support? I am, admittedly, a lazy charity kind of guy. I donate blood which is no effort and drop funds from paid links directly to charities of choice. Is UNICEF still a good gig? How did that "One" deal turn out? That seemed mighty vague.

Mmm.. Link-dump-a-liscious!
