Crossing the Double Yellow Line Into the Carpool Lane

The double yellow line means do not cross. It is not okay for you to cross it, even if it's convenient. Drivers in the carpool lane are often going faster and it is the difference in speed which is dangerous. That's why there's a line that you're not allowed to cross.

Enter and exit the carpool lane only at designated points!

The Glory of the Spork

Imagine that you are sitting in a nice Asian restaurant eating fried rice. You use a spoon to get a nice scoop full of rice. But wait! Look at that nice crisp [YOUR FAVORITE VEGETABLE HERE]! You attempt to scoop up the vegetable on top of your spoonful of rice, but it rolls off. You can't do it! You could use a fork, but then most of the rice would fall through. But if you had a spork, you could scoop the rice and then stab the vegetable! You'd be the big winner! You see, BOB thought of all of this when he created the spork. If you had thought of this also, you wouldn't have been eating fried rice with a spoon.

The Ballad of the Battle of the Sporks

Putting your phone on speaker and holding it while driving

Dear southern California drivers:
Why do you think it's OK to hold your phone near your head while it's on speaker? Do you think that's what the hands free law means? Do you think it's better to do that than just holding it to your ear? Well, it isn't. You're holding the phone, so it is not hands free, and I hope your distracted ass gets a ticket. Why don't you hang up and pay attention to the road? I don't want you to crash into me because you are too caught up in whatever you're talking about. Just shut up and watch the road.

Today, I learned what Santorum REALLY means.

It may be the name of a politician, but santorum also means something else! Isn't that fun?

Mars Rover Simulation Video

Mars Rover Article with Video

Scroll to the bottom of the article for the video. It shows the launch from Earth orbit to Mars, the atmospheric entry, parachute, and rocket crane landing. Then it shows what the rover can do.

If you aren't fascinated by this sort of thing, then you are visiting the wrong web page.

I'm very pleased to see an ancient website like this still up. The last update was apparently in 1996. Glorious!
