Hello, internets!

Today was father's day, and it was also my wife's birthday. I told my wife that those two events canceled each other out, so we didn't need to get each other any gifts. I baked her a cake.  It's day 62 of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm wondering if they'll ever get that plugged up. Amazingly enough, many people seem to be blaming President Obama for this disaster. Fox stooped to new lows today by making fun of Obama's pants and the way he dressed while visiting the beaches where oil is coming ashore. 

Here is an awesome video of a tornado destroying a building. Unfortunately the person operating the camera did a terrible job. 






I'm a huge fan of Carl Sagan's work. I love the Cosmos TV series. I recently heard about a BBC television show called "The Wonders of the Solar System". I had to download them through torrents just to be able to watch them though because I can't view them on the BBC website. They are unavailable outside of the UK. This is why people pirate. If you want to watch something, it's sometimes the only way to get it. Here is a famous poetic clip that Sagan is well known for, entitled "The Pale Blue Dot":
