Did he have the three sided "Matching Tie and handkerchief"? Yes, it had three sides, I believe they were label side 2 and side 2! :)

I've got an old ROUND slide rule my father used when he was an engineer at Bendix!

I have a Samsung and have been using SideSync for years. It displays the phone screen on your PC and allows you to access it via the mouse and keyboard. What MS came up with is second rate.

That reminds me of when we would get on the teletype to MIT over the ARPANET (pre-internet) and play ZORK! I think I still have some of the output! It was written in MUDDLE, a friend analyzed it and found some cheat like "Send for mail" which would get you a brochure in the mailbox and one point! :)

I miss Heathkit too. Build a lot of equipment for my HAM father. First programming experience was Fortran on an IBM 1440 in High school. I miss the punch card confetti we threw at each other! Then it was off to the Air Force and COBOL, where I learned BASIC on a friends Apple IIe, Star Trek anyone? We programed the game to go back in time if you went fast enough close to a star! Yes, we were geeks!

From SpaceWeather.com: THE TAURID METEOROID SWARM: Earth is about to have a close encounter with a meteoroid swarm. In June 2019, the gravelly Taurid Swarm will make its closest post-perihelion approach to our planet since 1975. There's growing evidence that the swarm may be hiding large objects such as the Tunguska impactor that leveled a forest in Siberia in 1908. Astronomers plan to peer inside the swarm using large telescopes to find these hazards--if they exist. Visit Spaceweather.com for the full story.

^This is what's on my cup at work, it's a white mug with a yellow interior! It was a gift from my sister, the one with the sense of humor!

No, her name was Assteroid! She was a pain in the...

A meteor is any of the small solid extraterrestrial bodies that hits the earth's atmosphere. A meteorite is a stony or metallic object that is the remains of a meteoroid that has reached the earth's surface. No one saw it hit the surface.

It was bright green. Perhaps Boron or or maybe copper, but copper has a bluish tint.

I took the dogs out after they woke me up at 2 in the morning. Standing on my deck looking at the moon an hour before it set. I saw this fly in front of the moon, flare bright green and disappear behind some clouds! I'm in central Michigan and the videos are from Illinois and Wisconsin! Anyone else catch something like this?

"Ender's Game " was started out as a short story (I still have the original Analog it was published in). OSC took the short story and expanded it into an awesome universe. I've read the Dune epic written by Frank Herbert and when his offspring started writing, I read the book in "Dune" chronological order. It is amazing how well the new books fit seamlessly into the original! I don't think any movie version will be adequate, too expensive with not enough return to the movie industry.

My wife is a witch! We were driving down the road, she blew into my ear and I turned into a motel!

I'm probably dating myself (again): anyone remember sidekick?

Cheapest meat? Deer balls, they are under a buck!

It must be on my end. I'm currently leave one of your graphics on another tab, when I go to a new page in CP I have to go to the graphic, refresh, when it tell me I don't have a secure connection I do the advanced go there anyway drill, then back to the CP page, refresh and all is fine....until the next page. curious

I remember watching his first launch into space live. Yes, I'm that old. A true hero! God speed!

I'm having a problem getting CP to display. I'm getting an error in the codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net This is the error: Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&fr=1:50 GET https://cdn2.developermedia.com/a.min.js net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT (anonymous function) @ Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&fr=1:50 (anonymous function) @ Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&fr=1:51 If I copy an image link and open it in another tab, I get a not private message. I hit advenced and proceed to display the image, I then go back to the CP tab and refresh and it's fine, temporarily. Any ideas? This behavior just started a few days ago. I've got the latest .net, browsers, win7. It doesn't occur on phone or winio at home.

For 38 years now.
