Pow! Right to the Moon!

The first commercial moon mission has been approved. Among the reasons why they are going? “To verify Apollo and other landing sites.” Some people believe the Apollo program was a hoax. I mean, it’s not like our government has never lied to us, you know. The mission is expected to launch within the next 9 to 12 months, and I’m sure the images they bring back from the trip will be amazing!

Future plans for the TransOrbital? “The creation of a network of navigation beacons on the moon to help future lunar explorers and possibly ultra-secure data storage facilities.” Yes, I would think that the moon would be a pretty secure place to store data. Wouldn’t it be hard to retrieve it if you needed to do a backup though? [via Malibu List]

Return of the Skins…

I am in the slow process of bringing the skins back to this site, just in time for the 1 year anniversary of when I first skinned it! I am reminded once again why I hate CSS. In the basic blue skin, the dates are very wonky. In my old pink skin with the pictures of me it’s even worse. I have no idea why and I can’t find a fix – so I gave up, at least for now. I had a lot of other skins to work on! The dark grey skin with the Pixelog thumbnails has returned, and it’s working just fine.

Next I added the pink cookie and cheerful skin that Kristine made for me.

After that, I made a skin using a photo sent to me by Chris. This one proves that Big Pink Cookies will take over the world!

More skins to come soon! Big Pink Cookies for everyone! Let me know if you like them, what you think of them, and if anything is broken for you!

Hell Has Frozen Over…

Texans stun Cowboys to win. 19-10. They didn’t just stun the Cowboys, they stunned me too! (I still hate Houston though. That hasn’t changed.)

Meme Me

Good Bloggers Gone Bad…

It makes me so sad to go through my link list and come across blogs that used to have such good writing and content – and now they are nothing but memes, 7 days a week. Sure, some memes are interesting and help me learn something about you, but now that it’s gone from the Friday Five and the Monday Mission to a meme or two for every day of the week, reading these blogs just makes me want to rip my eyes out.

It hurts to take people off of my link list, but I’m tired of reading about what shade of blue you are and if you were an anime character, who you would be. And I don’t need 2-3 lists per day of answers to questions. I want to read about YOU.

Jennifer asked last week about “What sort of blogs do you like?” That sums it up for me. I don’t like the meme blogs. I like blogs that offer me great links. Blogs with wonderful writing. A meme every once in awhile? Great! I’m all for them. But if that’s all I see when I visit your blog I will just keep on moving. So, how about you? What do you look for in a blog?
