Neil Armstrong.

I can’t find a good way to embed the NASA videos in a post, and I don’t want to link to the ones on YouTube, which are dubiously sourced. So here’s NASA’s Apollo 11 video page. And another page containing some restored Apollo 11 video.

Ad astra per aspera. Godspeed, Dr. Armstrong.

Some stuff.

More specifically, a random assortment of things that turned up in my Post Office box today, or that I found while I was out and about. Not that I’m bragging, but I think some folks might be entertained, amused, or interested in some of these items.

The first issue of “Infowars: The Magazine” (as Gregg Easterbrook might say, “Published on Earth: The Planet”).

I’ve got big balls. (Also acceptable: “Ah, but the strawberries. That’s where I had them.“) (Previously.)

The only political party that can actually change things this year. (Get yours here.)

Finally:


My USB TV receiver from Germany is here! (Previously.) More when and as I get a chance to dink with it.

Thugs. Pimps. Nazis. Ceridian Benefit Services.

My opinion is that Ceridian is not a “service,” it is a criminal enterprise run by thieves and engaged in systematic interstate mail and wire fraud. It is my opinion that Ceridian takes money from the recently unemployed, then, instead of passing the portion due onto the insurance company, takes that money and then fails to inform the insurance company.

Edited to add 8/26: Lawrence has pointed out to me that this is somewhat unfair. There are, more than likely, many pimps who are kind to their women, do not beat them unnecessarily, and in general do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Ceridian Benefit Services. So noted, and my apologies to the pimps.
