Tourism in Michigan fell 26% for some reason

Remember people; The seven signs of terrorist activity, according to a Michigan State Police training video are:

Surveillance
Elicitation
Tests of security
Acquiring supplies
Suspicious people who "don't belong"
Dry runs/trial runs
Deploying assets or getting into position

There WILL be a test afterwards so pay attention.

Rube Goldberg Honda Commercial

I think I had watched this 20 to 30 times back at KEG when it first came out.



Back in 1995 my brother got a new PC and it came with a trial edition of The Impossible Machine, a 2D Rube Goldberg game. I went over to his place and would spend hours playing that until Jason needed to go to bed and would kick me out. Sometimes I'd just go over when he wasn't there to "fix his computer" as I told his roommate and play the game until he subsequently kicked me out upon his arrival home. I had a PowerMac 7200 back then and they didn't make The Impossible Machine for Macs back then.

I'd love to get my hands on a 3D RG game if there's any out there. It would make for a nice physics teaching aid.

The Tinklebeat

Well, for a while I've had a tune embedded in my mySpace profile so it played non-stop. That's right:

NON

STOP

MUSIC

ACTION!

action... action action action action action action action action action action action...

Well, anyhoo... I had made this song one night in Garageband in something like thirty minutes or so when I couldn't sleep. I had in my mySpace profile, yet when I did an edit a few weeks later, mySpace broke the function to add music without a flash player of some sort. So I gave up on it. Since I can post music here, I'm adding it for your listening enjoyment.






It's best with headphones or two big speakers at far sides of your listening space; as I've played with the stereo output while making this.

Where's my lute, damn-it?


My score on The Which D & D Class am I Test:

Bard
(You scored 55 Holy, 66 Tactful, 100 Natural, and 65 Arcane!)

Well hellooooo Mr. Fancy-Pants. Aren't you just something special? You can do everything to an extent, but nothing really well. You can pull off a spell or two, fend off a warrior in a fight for a minute or two, and you've been known to pick a lock or two, but chances are someone in your party can do these things better. You have one of two options... go it alone or in a small group and fill all the niches that are uncovered, or join up with a really huge group. You are the best of all worlds when it comes to leadership... you've got perspective on every person's strengths and weaknesses, you are a master at planning and cunning, you are in tune with the natural world, and you may have your God, but the last thing you want to do is impose it upon everyone else. Lastly, you can really whip a crowd up into a fenzy when you're wailing on your guitar. The trade off for being so cool is that you get beat up... a lot. And I mean this both in elementary school, middle school, and high school if you made it that far, as well as the rest of your life. Okay, well, maybe not, but bards do, so don't get caught in one of them trans-dimensional vortexs if you don't want a good drubbing now and again.
