Mine's Doing Good, How About Yours

The Potatoes really are coming up great, I had to start putting hills around them. The tomatoes are doing really well. The red onions are about a month away. The peppers, the ones on yard sticks, are behind the tomatoes, there is about two dozen growing on the chili pepper one. The owls name is Hooty, he is the guardian of Joe and Abbey's garden.

Curse, Curse, Curse

I saw this show on E! I admit that with some shame. The main one I want you to watch is the third story, it starts at the six minute mark, but the other two stories are interesting as well.

Bucket Drumming

When I was in high school I went to Chicago for some band thing. I remember one day I was walking downtown and heard this awesome drumset playing in the distance. As I leaped around the corner to check it out, I was suprised to see not a drumset player, but a dude playing a soap bucket. He had ONE 5 gallon bucket and he was making it sound like a massive drumset.

Ever since then I've been amazed by this and I've recently decided to learn how to do it. Although I'm not a bum (not a street bum at least), I think it would be fun to take a soap bucket and jam at downtown Springfield some Saturday night. Just for the fun of it all. Who knows, maybe I'll get a few bucks out of it. Anyways, here's a few videos of what I'm talking about:

Space - The Only Frontier

I now have a new job, well it's kind of like a job, except for the getting paid part (yet), and there's not a whole lot of work involved (yet). But it's something I like to do. I am now the curator of the Space Channel at Current TV and Current.com. And since I've always been fascinated by space I thought why not.

Current was started by Al Gore a few years ago, it's a news forum/social networking site that also has a TV channel dedicated to user created content which they air on TV. For instance, if you make a 5 minute documentery about a dog that uses an iPhone, and it gets on TV, then you get paid like $1000. Not a bad idea, a good way for the average person to make a name for him/her self and make some money in the process.

Here is the link to the channel:

You can check out my intro when you get to the site, it's called "New Space Channel Makes Landing on Current"

Jeanine might like the "2001 a Floyd Odyssey" which I posted with the intro. It's that mysterious synchronizations between Pink Floyd-Echoes and 2001 a Space Odyssey. I think some stoner figured this out about ten years ago, but it makes you wonder, and that's what "Space" is all about, the wonder of it all.

I couldn't choose between a picture of Charlie at the WW II Memorial in D.C. our her at Little Round Top.
