I’ve always had a secret desire to be an astronaut, and yet I have a problem with the budget requirements of NASA… but that’s for another post and another time.
Anyhow, if you’ve ever wanted to know some of the basics of planning a mission in space then the Jet Propulsion Labratories (JPL) “Basics of Space Flight” page is for you. Being a former Radioman in the US Navy, I was most interested in the section on communications, but the entire site was interesting.
Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket… can we please get the artists who perform on the Grammy’s a frickin’ decent microphone? I stopped counting at 20 the number of faded voices I heard when they turned their heads just slightly. Someone please smack the sound engineer in the back of the head!
Other than the sound glitches every now and again I thought the Grammy’s were great. I don’t much care for Beyonce, but when she and Prince got on stage I thought they were awesome together. It’s been a while since Prince has been “out there”, and you could see the joy in his eys on stage when performing. I sure hope he continues because he’s an amazing artist. Check it out for yourself:
I honestly don’t get the whole controversy with Janet Jackson’s tit-flash… I can see the same thing for free at the mall as mothers of newborns whip it out to feed their baby. But media sensationalism what it is in the US, we get bombarded with blurred out shots of Janet Jackson’s dirty pillows on TV and in every damned website or newspaper.
