To celebrate 10 years on the BRitish airwaves, the cast of The Simpsons will be reading scripts live next week. Edinburgh on Friday and London the following Monday and Tuesday. It’d be fantastic to see, but odds are slim that I’ll be there. Man, do I need me a sugar daddy.

A gentleman came by my office today to tell me how much he enjoyed the play. He took the time to look me up, figure out where I worked, and thank me in person. I’m flabbergasted.

The horoscopes that I linked to last week, Free Will Astrology, is now being carried by Salon. I’m not a horoscope kind of guy, but I really enjoy reading Rob Brezsny’s writings.

Astronomers and others the world over are have been excited over the announcement of a planet found around Epsilon Eridani, a star close enough to us that the planet itself might be visible with the Hubbell telescope. The news is hardly suprising, however, since Epsilon Eridani is the home of a Starship Tour Operator and has eleven well-documented planets. The system even has a president, a Mr. Pierre Benton. This isn’t the first time that the star system has been in the news. Two years ago, a team in Hawaii announced they had imaged a dust ring and possible planets around the star. If you’d like to see the star for yourself (it’s a bright star, easily seen with the naked eye), use this picture to help you find it. Epsilon Eridani is the star labelled in the top center.

This is the final weekend for my play, and then you won’t have to hear about it anymore. Response has been wonderful. Of the four runs so far, three were sell-outs. Tonight may be, tomorrow is, and Sunday’s is looking mighty full. And as they leave afterwards, they tell me how much they enjoyed it. I’m mighty pleased. And in a few months, I get to do it all over again! Only this time, instead of a classic formula comedy, it’s a dark biting satire that’s sure to offend a portion of the audience. I can’t wait!

When you pirate MP3s, you’re downloading COMMUNISM

Science Made Stupid is an on-line text of natural history, from the universe to the descent of man. It’s a rather funny read. If you don;t care much for reading, you can just skip straight to the tables and charts at the end.

$370 will get you a kit to retrofit your old pedal powered bicycle into one of those newfangled electric bikes. Just the thing if you bike to work every day and have that big pesky hill in the way.

The Lester S. Levy Sheet Music Collection is a marvelous resource. It contains over 29,000 pieces of music focusing on popular American music from 1780 to 1960. Those works in the public domain are served up in their entirety, and the collection is completely searchable.

You might think that since the earth didn’t get destroyed during the great planetary alignment of May 5th, Richard Noone and the other 5/5/2000 people would go away. But then you’d be wrong.

This page is as it was before 5-5-2000. Looks like most earth change activity has not affected high population areas and we are all greatful. The pacific ring of fire has been active with earth quakes and volcanoes. June 4, 2000 7.9 quake hits Indonesia with many 5 and 6 after shocks. Another 6.1 hits Turkey 6/6/00. The earth changes cake is not completely baked. Stay tuned. Many of you ask we keep this page up for a while for research purposes. The book 5/5/2000 Ice: The Ultimate Disaster is now a classic and is still valid as scientists have seen the planetary alignment as a trigger point for continuing geological and weather disruptions. It is not over yet and we suggest you continue with your emergency preparations. Thanks for your continued support.
