The Transit of Venus

Cool NASA video made using different wavelength images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory showing Venus as it orbits in front of the sun.

Its pretty humbling if you consider that the Earth and Venus are roughly the same size. Seems from these images that the ancients had it right…all hail the Sun. The only true power that controls all of our destinies…

Let’s Meet The Meat!!

Once again, Mark proves that ANYTHING can be grilled or smoked to perfection.  Pork and Chicken-palooza!  Dining at Mark’s, when the grill(s) and smoker are cranked, is what Summer is all about, baby!

I ate my face off this memorial day weekend!  Thanks Mark (and John for excellent sack o salad and chips n dips)!  You’s guysiz da bestist!

Mark's Meat (NOW SMOKED!)
Mark's Meat! MMM MMM Good (Now smoked for your pleasure!)

 

Great Website Alert!!!

I’ve been killing myself with the Carpenters, Hugo Montenegro, Ennio Morricone, Herb & the TJB, and Burt Bacharach lately. (I think its the warmer weather that makes me go this way, as well and my age). I found these sites kick ass and feed the need (just click the logo’s to open in a new window).

Lounge Legends

Also have been really overplaying a lot Burt Bacharach (once again the warm weather could be the influence here). I’ve been spending too much time on his homepage humorously called “A House is Not A Homepage”. It’s worth a look just to see the cheesy picture of him doing his best Isaac from the Love Boat pose.

And of course, this trip down easy listening grandma music wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the legendary A&M Corner website.
