Space
The last couple of weeks have been "Space" themed. We've watched The Martian, Apollo 13, and Armageddon. (Amazing how many flights require a space craft to do a slingshot maneuver.)
Also, we watch the International Space Station go overhead one night. It was amazing how bright it is. We streamed the Dragon departure from the ISS yesterday and hope to catch splashdown today.
And there was this:

On-Call
Being on-call has been part of the job for as long as I can remember... first carrying pagers then alpha-numeric pagers then Nextels then Blackberries. However, I'm not sure I would have any interest in a recent job posting that included this:
"Be available as needed to rectify IT emergencies. Must answer all forms of communication immediately."

First - Baofeng Bucks:
"Chinese communist party takes your Baofeng bucks and puts them right in the 'turn America into one big concentration camp' fund. They don't want you dead, they want your whole life. Call me crazy, see what happens.EDIT: Changed 'Baofeng dollars' to 'Baofeng bucks' because it's funnier."
"Japanese anime porn artists take your Yaesu Yen and put them right into the "get Americans addicted to tentacle hentai" fund. They don't want you dead, they want your whole life. Call me crazy, see what happens."
