Brings up some good points. Should I reconsider my google fandome?

137 YEARS of Popular Science magazine online for free!

I only had one magazine subscription when I was a kid. I poured over every edition especially the catalog portion. I would lay on the floor by my bed and dream about my own VTOL Aircraft and zooming around town in my own personal jet. It is really a great memory. I know this is a worthwhile archive to access. So go one and embrace your inner geek kid and read about the elevator to space and the invisible jet and the volcano generator and anything else that catches you.

I have always said monkey’s are awesome. This just proves it. And now I’m less surprised by my success with women. ;)

And in imagination he began to recall the best moments of his pleasant life… in childhood, there had been something really pleasant with which it would be possible to live if it could return. But the child who had experienced that happiness existed no longer, it was like a reminiscence of somebody else.

Cast

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog cast and crew

Neil Patrick Harris as Billy/Dr. Horrible: An aspiring supervillain of the mad scientist variety with the catchphrase, “I’ve got a Ph.D in Horribleness.” He desires to become a member of Bad Horse’s Evil League of Evil and use his inventions to take over the world and enact social change for the betterment of humanity, whom he sees as ignorant to the problems of the world. His unintentionally humorous socio-political beliefs include the paradoxical idea ofautocratic anarchism. As Billy, he struggles to make a romantic connection with Penny.
Felicia Day as Penny: Dr. Horrible’s love interest, whom he sees at the coin laundromat. She is idealistic and generous and volunteers at a homeless shelter. Her optimism clashes vividly with Billy’s cynicism and misanthropy, and her benevolence with Captain Hammer’s narcissism.
Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer: Dr. Horrible’s arch-nemesis. Hammer is a self-centered superhero possessing super-human strength and near-invulnerability, though he is clearly the antagonist. He enjoys harassing Dr. Horrible even when the situation does not warrant it.
Simon Helberg as Moist: Dr. Horrible’s friend, who has the underwhelming ability to dampen things. Dr. Horrible calls him “my evil moisture buddy.” It’s implied that he’s in the Henchmen’s Union, and he can be seen aiding Dr. Horrible in robbing a bank.

# And may I add it is awesome. NPH is fantastic and Nathon Fillon is great as Captain Hammer. So worth watching.

This soul should fly from me, and I be chang’dUnto some brutish beast! All beasts are happy, For when they die,Their souls are soon dissolv’d in elements;But mine must live, still to be plagu’d in hell.

…

O soul, be chang’d into little water-drops,

And fall into the ocean—ne’er be found.

My God! my God! look not so fierce on me!

Adders and serpents, let me breathe awhile!

Ugly hell, gape not! come not, Lucifer!

I’ll burn my books!—Ah Mephistophilis!

sun & sand

wet grains of crumbling sand fall down the towel shelter

and land on my child cheek

like a slow motion rock slide.

sun squints down into the shelter keeping my brown cheek warm,

as the salt dries in my hair.
