For Ann, It Will Be No More Astounding Than Plumbing

Something always seems to eat up Thursday nights lately, and last night was no exception. Spent some time installing new information technologies around here, the details of which I will pass over. Enough to say that new technologies are pains in the butt until they start working. Then you forget about the pain, until they break.

But the new gizmos allowed me to waste some time today tooling around the likes of YouTube and Google Video. Actually I've had access to them for a while, but the improvements make them easy enough to make it worth the trouble. One of the things I found by simply requesting "Apollo 11" was a tape of about 10 minutes before and after the launch, as it was televised in 1969 (or if not, it certainly was artful editing). Astounding, these libraries that sit on our desks. When they're not annoying.
