Since When did Rhode Island gain Cape Cod?

I was scrolling through my Picasa library earlier today looking for a picture, and came across the photo set of my trip to San Diego this past Memorial Day weekend.  While I was there, I visited the San Diego Air & Space Museum.  At first it looked like a good way to spend an hour out of the rain, but after spending 3.5 hours there, I found myself overwhelmed by the amount of exhibits at the museum. 

Huh?!?One photo that caught my eye was this one showing the location of all the Apollo Command Modules around the world.  While I'm sure the locations were accurate, the map itself was horribly drawn. It looked like something a 4th grader would draw for history class.  Rhode Island gained Cape Cod, Maryland gained both New Jersey, and Long Island, and Delaware just disappeared off the map.

Can a museum, whose main point of pride should be their exhibits, really just let a map like this get passed over by the curator?  Let’s hope the next time I travel to San Diego this map is fixed. 

Well folks, Digg has done it again..

Well folks, Digg, the social news, photos, videos sharing website, has done it again.

Last week Digg announced that Katie Couric was going to ask politicians at both conventions this summer user submitted questions. The responses would be taped and shown on YouTube, CBSnews.com, and CNET.com.

Thanks to all!

To everyone who sent me e-mails, wrote on my Facebook wall, called my cell, mailed me something, sent a text message, or said something in person to me yesterday for my birthday...

THANK YOU!

It means a lot to me knowing how many people out there took even the few short minutes to send me a message. I am in debt to all of you for your gracious generosity.

Time for Some Campaignin'

Well the guys over at JibJab have done it again. This time though, we have McCain and Obama instead of Bush and Kerry. Hopefully they keep the videos rolling out this election season just like the 2004 season.
