Shuttle Launch STS119

Drove out to the cape for the shuttle launch tonight to the Max Brewer Memorial Parkway (406).
It was a quick drive out there, but the way back was extreme gridlock. I ended up heading driving a big loop to avoid traffic. First out east on the 406 and up north to A1A, then south to I-95, and finally, back west on SR-46.

The launch was absolutely stunning. With the setting sun shining on the exhaust plume from the shuttle you had reds/oranges and whites framed against the blue of the sky. This pictures don’t do the sight justice, but I hope you enjoy.

WordPress blogging tools?

Does anyone know of a good free WordPress blogging application for the Mac?
On my iPhone i use the official WordPress application.

Currently on my Mac I just use the web interface. It works, but would like something that could browse my photos in Aperture more easily.

My wife wants EA SPORTS Active for the Wii

Even though May 19th is an important date in our family for other reason, I would bet that my wife is going to be asking me if I can bring home EA SPORTS Active from the work company store.

I always like games that come with accessories. Although is it still a game if you get a workout while you’re having fun? I don’t know, but it’s close enough for me. Either way, it comes with accessories, and I think they are a simple but innovative way to use the Wii controls.

By the way, what is it exactly that makes Bob Greene so popular?

There is a page of videos if you want to know more.
