Moonshot Milestones: Day 25

Image
44 years ago today, two American men were sitting inside a capsule landed on Earth's only natural satellite-the Moon.  I can only imagine how stressful that next 21 hours was as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out of "The Eagle" just hours after landing, collecting samples and taking photos that amazed the world.  And did I mention they did this on THE MOON?  Apollo 11 was a true example of moonshot thinking.  It set records, allowed for more space research, effectively ended the Space Race, and inspired millions of people to pursue science. (I think I might still have a Neil Armstrong moonsuit I made for a speech about him in 3rd grade.)  We need to thank all the scientists, engineers, politicians, and, of course the three astronauts that spend 8 days on the journey.  They showed that hard work can help reach what may seem like an unobtainable goal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Pwn'd at the Dentist: Day 10

Image
If you watched yesterday's vlog, you would know that I headed to the dentist today.  No cavities, everything was fine.  The problem, though, occurred as I was sitting in the waiting area before leaving.  If you've ever been at a dentist (which I hope you have-eww), you would notice that there is always a radio playing over speakers in the background-quiet enough so that it doesn't bother anyone but loud enough to keep the patients' auditory systems occupied.  This is key to what happened to me today. I happened to be in between Can Knockdown 3 levels when I heard six lyrics that anyone on the Internet knows well.  I'll just say that they rhymed with "Ever showing moo comparative true sup..." If you can't figure it out, here's a hint.  Post your guesses in the comments below.

Google Chrome Mobile Event Liveblog: Day 3

Today, June 7th, at 12pm CST, I will be covering the Google Chrome Mobile event LIVE in the Chatroll box below.  Join me for the latest. *UPDATE* The liveblog box has been removed.  The event happened to be about Chrome Roll-It, so nothing too exciting happened.  Watch on Monday for a recap on Apple's WWDC.
