What happens if a big asteroid hits Earth? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad.

I was doing serious research into interface design, when I came across a satirical takeoff on the current trend to make movies out of video games. The natural question is "Where will this all lead?" Hopefully you will enjoy these as much as I did. My personal favorite was PONG: The Movie.

I've finally managed to unify the look and feel of the front page with all the content pages. I've also created a structure where the menu along the left hand side is built based upon a series of menu definition files; global, directory based, and file specific menus. I've also created a rotating statement of belief, and a "Name that opera house game" to keep the youngsters from zoning out. Time will tell whether any of this is successful.

Having read an article from The Onion about the Cryptosporidium Daze festival, I found I pathologically had to have the t-shirt bearing Crypty. Needless to say, it arrived on Friday and I couldn't be more pleased. I'd like to say I wore it to the Burlington Brewers Fest on Saturday, but I wore one that was even ruder from the same shipment. Those of you interested (the prurient kind) can find the t-shirt in the Onion store, referring to the moonwalk.

I've put together a page that roots about in a folder and displays thumbnails of any images it may find. You can see a sample of the long awaited Germany trip photos using this tool. I'll be adding some text blurbs/descriptions to each photo as well as more permanent links to the photo archive.

In the upper right hand corner you will see links to all the photos taken each day, grouped by city. Click the city name to view all the photos taken in that city. The initial view is a list of thumbnails of all images in a particular directory. Click the thumbnail image to see an enlarged version of the image.

Well, I'm most of the way through July, and am sadly lacking critically important life milestones to post for the e-consumption of my viewing public. Over the last two and a half weeks, I've been working 8AM to 1 or 2 in the morning of the next day (including weekends) on providing meaningful exercises for an all day E-Commerce Course (http://balzac.uvm.edu/bsad195). Today is the last day of this class, and is therefore the first time in weeks that I'll make it home before sunset. Naturally, the apartment has been collecting piles of steamy laundry and piles of fast food wrappings. The stinky refrigerator with malfunctioning freezer is fermenting some old Chinese food, so there is every likelihood that I may be confronted by an unruly pet made of the more sentient and revolutionary members of the refrigerator community.

This doesn't happen often, but I feel the need to clean. Somebody stop me.

Imagine my surprise when the Mozart-Kugeln that I bought in the Detroit International Airport weren't identical to those purchased in Austria (where they are made). Harrumph. My confidence in the Detroit International Airport as a paragon of Cosmopolitan Life and Culture has been shaken to the core.
