My iMac died this week. Bummer. It needs a new power supply, so I guess a trip to Marianas Electronics is in order.

This is the second time I’ve had to bring that machine in for servicing. There was a factory recall back in 2005 on that model, and now this.

Actually on second thought, maybe I will just buy the power supply and replace it myself. Not exactly rocket science, and I have built and repaired a number of other computers, Macs included. I am still particularly proud of how I brought my G3 back to life in 2002. Bought new motherboard and ROM chips off eBay, a new power supply, housing and more RAM and my venerable machine was chugging along like new.

My Aunt Rosemary passed away on Monday night, at the venerable age of 90. She was only a week from her 91st birthday when she passed. She’d been doing poorly for the last couple months, with a bout of pneumonia followed by some other medical problems and a hospital stay last month.

She was a wonderful, sweet woman. And I mean that literally; I’ve never known anyone so addicted to candy as Aunt Rosemary. How she could eat all those peeps is beyond me. She made delicious cookies for her husband, Uncle Charlie, that I used to eat when I stayed over at their place in St. Louis Hills. Those were happy memories of my childhood.

I love you Aunt Rosemary, take care and rest in peace.

I just love this photo. Lorelei is such a blast. She laughs and giggles when I hold her. She’s such a good girl too, she’s been sick for days now and she still smiles and giggles even though she has a stuffy nose and a nasty cough.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Take a look at this press release from NASA; it includes two time-lapse video clips taken by the EPOXI, nee Deep Impact, spacecraft. They show the earth rotating in space over the course of one day, and the highlight of the series is when the moon slides across the face of our lush blue world. That is extremely cool.

Yes, another bomber crashes off of Guam. Been a bad year for the Air Force and Navy here on Guam.

This time a B-52 took off to fly over the 64^th Liberation Day Parade and crashed into the ocean 25 miles north of Apra Harbor around 9:45 am. At this time (10:30 pm) rescuers are still searching for the six crewman on board. Let’s hope they’re all safe.

I’ve ridden Amtrak for decades now, and I can honestly say the service has degraded a great deal in the 20+ years I’ve ridden the train. I took the train across the continent in 2000, and it was an arduous experience; 13 hours behind schedule, missed connections, stopping in the middle of nowhere for hours at a time, and the several cancelled trains convinced me that Amtrak is not a viable travel option for anyone interested in actually getting somewhere on time. It was beautiful though, the lonesome plains, the Rocky Mountains, riding along the Mississippi River at dawn. From Chicago to Portland, and then down the coast to Los Angelese, it was an eye popping trip. Luckily I didn’t really have to be anywhere on time. In fact, the route I’ve ridden the most, the Ann Rutledge between St. Louis and Chicago, is notorious for running late.

I came across this story a couple days ago, recounting the woes of traveling Amtrak across the country. Sounds like he had a similar experience to me. That said, it was an incredible experience, from the landscape to the people you meet on the train. I remember sitting in the observation car at 2:00 am, learning card tricks from a septugenarian magician on his way to Minot, North Dakota. And standing on the back of the train, looking across northern California dawn from an open doorway with the cigarette smokers.
