Countdown to Hurricane Season 2007

Two months to go.. a little fun reading here.

Put simply, all of the pumping systems, as designed, procured, and

built, have a strong likelihood of failure when placed under normal

operating conditions.

Yay!

Dammit, Chicago!

The behavior of Bears fans at the NFC Championship game was bad

enough, but if George Will buys the Cubs, that city is freaking dead

to me.

Google Conspiracy is over

Google Earth and Google Maps now once again contain post-K (2006)

imagery of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

From Google:

Given that the changes that affected New Orleans happened many

months ago, we were a bit surprised by some of these recent

comments. Nevertheless, we recognize the increasingly important

role that imagery is coming to play in the public discourse, and so

we're happy to say that we have been able to expedite the

processing of recent (2006) aerial photography for the Gulf Coast

area (already in process for an upcoming release) that is equal in

resolution to the data it is replacing. That new data was published

in Google Earth and Google Maps on Sunday evening.
