If you had not figured it out yet I am geeked over the Shuttle and really all things space. The deal is that I believe that challenging ourselves to go to the moon was one of if not the single biggest boost to innovation in the country. The challenge of doing something that seems impossible brings out the best in people. At any rate keep at it NASA... on a lighter note most of you know I married an Aggie. She sent me this yesterday. I have to admit it's very cool!

This weekend a new movie called A Scanner Darkly is coming out that I have been dieing to see. The book A Scanner Darkly was written by Philip K. Dick. He is famous for the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and later the books made into movies: Minority Report, Total Recall, Paycheck and Blade Runner! His short story Second Variety appears to have been the basis for The Terminator as well. In short this guy tells good stories. Now couple that with a very cool way of filmmaking and you might have a hidden gem here. I have not seen the movie yet, but I know it's not getting any press... at all! I recently read the book and it's a bleak view of near future society. It should be a very thought provoking movie. The early reviews were all positive so this might be the sleeper of the summer.
