Last of deadly VX rockets incinerated – Military Affairs – MSNBC.com
Unabashedly I’m a fan of “The Rock”. I think it’s a paragon example of an action movie. I love it. (So glad it’s coming to bluray this summer). The last of the VX gas rockets are gone! Sadness…. haha.
Cognitive Daily: HBO Series on addiction
Wait, let me not tell you what to watch. I’ll watch if I get that free HBO preview weekend. I find the subject interesting. Whether or not you do is up to you obviously.

Rick Rubin) and the remix “Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been)” (prod. DJ Premier). Rakim is only featured on the remix and not the original.
They definitely got some of the best on the tracks. I’m listening now, it’s pretty good. Well as good as it could be for (as referenced in the above link) guys putting down lyrics for basically a commercial.

Maybe nice for washing denims if I didn’t want to buy Dr. Bronners. Could probably customize this to be gentler. Might lose anything that had “bleaching action” to keep the denims dark. Or I could f it all and just buy Woolite.

High Voltage in your Kitchen: Unwise Microwave Oven Experiments
Holy crap do I want to try this! Unfortunately I rent a condo and the microwave is a built-in above the stove deal. I used to have a spare microwave, but when I moved out of my apartment I gave it to my roommate because I had this fancy nice one at the condo. Crap I wish I could get it back. (You’d think giving my former roommate a basically new microwave, and a 36″ TV, would ensure that I wouldn’t have to pay the last month of utilities (note: I wasn’t in the apartment the last month, I had the dreaded overlap rent month), but no, full charge for them. And they weren’t cheap!)
