Rain. That's all. Rain.
It's actually raining here in drought stricken California. I guess that may not seem like news to much of the world, but it's been eclipsing all other news out here in California.
Really.
In other news, Orion is undergoing a test launch (on a Delta IV, no less) tomorrow, weather permitting (good that they're not launching from California). It is great and really rather sad, simultaneously: great that NASA actually has managed to do much of anything given the current political climate and the fact that as an "older agency", much of it's energy is, by necessity, spent ensuring the maintenance of the status quo rather than moving rapidly to some new and fabulous venture. Sad in that the next launch isn't for years, and the first manned launch isn't until the mid-2020's. It's not like the Apollo days (despite the amazing similarities to the Apollo spacecraft - one could easily call Orion "Apollo 2.0"), which means the NASA plan to put people on Mars by the 2030's is extremely optimistic, at best. However, there is at least some movement, and I can say "I worked on Orion (because I did)", so all in all, not an entirely unappreciated moment.
But now, lunch, I think...
and scene. now it's after lunch...
Tea is good. If you like tea, go to http://ratetea.com/, the website created by Alex Zorach, originally because he searched for a website that rated tea, and that wasn't owned and operated by a tea providing company, and he couldn't find one (so he made one).
You, too, can create a website, app, or other internet based object which is in need of being created but which does not yet exist. If not for the rain, I might try to create just such a thing. Of course, I have created Bunnychronicles.tumblr.com, because there was no website chronicling the adventures of Bunny. But beyond that, I imagine that someone could create a site that many people wanted to visit (as opposed to those hallowed few that view my websites - if any), but them's the breaks. OK, outta here, sorry for the brevity, lack of continuity and severe lack of useful information, but there you have it, I told you not to read this!
