Upwardly Tipped Off

Ever find yourself wanting to learn about a place, maybe a destination you are headed to, and you don't know anyone you can ask or anyone who has been there? I surfed over to yelp.com this morning and accidentally found "real reviews" from "real people", as the advert says.

But when I checked out a few places in my town I already knew all about, I found that the comments were....RIGHT On ThE MONEY! (Both the positives and negs.) Check it out and get informed all up the ying-yang. Or up the wazoo. Or up wherever you get things 'upped' in your crib.

and I once went 90 days without a vacation day....whew, i'll shut up about that

This bit of info from jpl....
NASA's plucky Voyager 2 spacecraft has hit a long-haul operations milestone today (June 28) -- operating continuously for 12,000 days. For nearly 33 years, the venerable spacecraft has been returning data about the giant outer planets, and the characteristics and interaction of solar wind between and beyond the planets. Among its many findings, Voyager 2 discovered Neptune's Great Dark Spot and its 450-meter-per-second (1,000-mph) winds.

The two Voyager spacecraft have been the longest continuously operating spacecraft in deep space. Voyager 2 launched on August 20, 1977, when Jimmy Carter was president. Voyager 1 launched about two weeks later on Sept. 5. The two spacecraft are the most distant human-made objects, out at the edge of the heliosphere -- the bubble the sun creates around the solar system. Mission managers expect Voyager 1 to leave our solar system and enter interstellar space in the next five years or so, with Voyager 2 on track to enter interstellar space shortly after that.

Forward to the past

As they like to say, "the future is today, worry about it tomorrow."

Well tonite at 9 cst Futurama returns to television
 (after being off for six years). How it was brought back is another story.

Rejoice, meatbags!

That crazy little show about a delivery boy in the year 3000 is finally back on the air.

The fansite is in the links to the right if you need a fix of fry, leela, bender and the rest before tonite.

Come back and comment.

sometimes i wonder what i'm a-gonna do, when the cosmic jellyfish starts eatin' my shoe

You never get the blues in the summer, unless The Who says so. (And there is a "space jellyfish" roving around the cosmos.) These two topics could be related. It's up to you to tell if they are.



Hello summer solstice

It's summer!
