After this weird rainstorm earlier this week (which was in full effect during a brightly lit summer day) this gigantic, kick-ass rainbow appeared.  It’s the biggest and clearest I’ve ever seen, including the one we saw in Hawaii.  There was even a reflection of itself in the clouds above it.  I snapped a few photos which probably don’t really do it justice and tossed in a few of the family for good measure.

Like a dream come true, Hum has reunited for a reunion tour.  Thanks to a Facebook post by The Old Rock House, Traci was able to snag tickets to this wondrous event.  Hum was and still is one of my favorite bands.  I first heard them back in 1995 when MTV still played music videos.  It was the video for Stars.  I bought You’d Prefer an Astronaut and knew as soon as I heard Little Dipper that I was in love with this band’s sound.  My best friend and I drove to see them in Cincinnati back in 1998 and they were awesome.  They were just as good this time around too.  Just incredible.  I also got to talk to Tim Lash for a moment after the show which was really cool.  Cell phone-quality pictures follow.  “Stars” video follows that.

This is really the only PC game I’ve ever really liked.  Turns out it runs great in Sun’s VirtualBox running Windows XP.  The only caveat is to turn off the mouse integration while playing; that way the right mouse clicks work properly.  Great to have this one back again.  This is the only thing I even keep Windows around for now.

Orson had an earache that kept him up last night.  This is a photo taken with my crappy iSight camera in my Mac in the dark with Orson sleeping on my lap with his puppy.  A little color desaturation combined with a black and white effect and I ended up with this.  I kinda like how it turned out.  Click the image for the larger version.

I didn’t even have to come up with this one on my own.  It’s easy when the jokes write themselves.

Some artwork Orson created at school, all Space themed.

We just took a drive today and ended up in Union and then Washington.  Snapped some pictures along the way.  This really ended up being a lot of fun.

This picture really speaks for itself.

Sorry Christian friends but Falwell was a warped and frustrated man.  George was awesome…and also right in this case.
