Monday Night Link Dump
February 4th, 2008 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
- I need a better term than “link dump,” don’t I?
- C’mon, admit it — you never believed that the number of sheets on that toilet paper roll was right. But you didn’t take the time to count them. He did it so you don’t have to.
- It’s been over 22 years. I remember the day vividly. And now I just feel old.
- THIS is how you hate on a vacuum. Hilarious.
- “That ain’t a camera lens. THIS is a lens.”
- What do you do when you can’t figure out what to name your child? Don’t chose. Use them all. Yeesh.
- Michael Arrington’s rant against those obnoxious “Do Not Print This E-Mail” .sigs.
- The only impact a Microsoft/Yahoo merger would have on me is my Flickr account. Looks like the natives there are already restless. Can’t say as I blame them. After the nightmare many of them went through with moving to Yahoo IDs, I can’t imagine having to do it again.

I don’t remember this because I was … well … two at the time, though I probably saw Star Trek IV around then which had a nice dedication at the beginning to the lost crew of the Challenger.

We used to watch all of the launches in school and I remember that day very clearly. I think I was in 4th grade at the time. I remember the explosion and that our teacher looked shocked and numb and didn’t know what to do next. Hard to believe it has been 22 years now.

I very much remember the Space Shuttle Diseaster. I was in college at the time and working p/t for the Student Activities office. Part of my job was to set up the student lounge for events, afternoon videos and the such. For some reason that day, we had set up the big screen so that the launch could be projected on it. In retrospect, I have NO IDEA why we happened to be doing this - while it was an “event” of sorts - the days of people partying around NASA launches was long gone.
Suddenly - on this huge screen - the shuttle.. just exploded. Having grown up on crappy action & adventure fims - we all thought it was some kind of joke. Sadly, it wasn’t - and for next few hours we were alllocked into the tragedy that occured that day.
