The Whiskey of Mass Destruction, your DTRA money at work

Posted in democracy, drinky, freedom, science on June 24, 2008 by 8a11z

I’m not sure if this is genius on the government’s part (free training videos) or incredibly stupid but now I want to watch.

(mark)  yeah, saw that.   Whiskey cam goes down, DHS immediately asks them to put it back up.  Whiskeymakers go “WTF?  Spying on our booze?”

Telco Immunity, again

passed easily. gods peolsi is a spineless waste of space.

rollcall: price, obviously, but space too, which is a bit of a shame. I don’t honestly expect any better of kilroy when she replaces price either. about the only good thing was the new england dems were unanimously against it. seriously though… ::headinhands::

Launch

Posted in drinky, science, tech, television on June 9, 2008 by glastxor

GLAST is now set to launch Wednesday. The final Launch Readiness Review has approved the launch. You can watch the launch on Nasa tv which will start at 9:45 on Wednesday. The launch window is from 11:45-13:45. Usually launches happen at the start of the window. If it does not launch on Wednesday, then Thursday at the same hours becomes the launch window, and so on.

I found this during my morning internet perusal. It seems more relevant for some (8a11s) than for others (me). Since caffeine is typically taken in liquid solution, I thought ‘drinky’ is the appropriate category.

Another article for Mark

This is simply awesome. If I had the time and resources, I would build it. On a related note, has anyone seen Bender’s Big Score yet? I found it hilarious.

This NYT article was written with Mark in mind. He should make more beer. I should consume some of it.

Hitchens

Posted in drinky, godlike on December 19, 2007 by mmurphey

This is easily the happiest I have ever heard Chris Hitchens sound in a column. It is, as one might expect, about booze. I do enjoy his usual spleen-filled contributions (c.f. God is not Great), though.
