Linky fun

Interesting links from my rabbit trails today:

• Would you believe there is such a thing as a cardboard record player? Yep, it was invented by missionaries so that they could carry records into remote areas to help them teach the Gospel.
• New sci-fi show! I love good, quality science fiction shows, something lacking from today's usual line-up. ABC is putting out Masters of Science Fiction - unfortunately it's in a bad time slot and not likely to do well. I need to learn how to time-program this new VCR of ours....
• Be part of a world-wide video! GMail is soliciting user videos, and they will select the best, editing them all together into one giant project. Just be sure to follow the rules, and maybe you'll get to be part of it! Gmail: A Behind the Scenes Video

Guess what we got to see last night!

We got to see the International Space Station fly over our city last night! A friend had told me that it was the shuttle, but I looked it up today, and it's actually the station. It will also be visible tonight and the following two nights.

It's just one spot of light in the sky, flying very quickly, but it's so cool knowing what it is that you're seeing. Isn't that neat!
