I thought I'd take a stab at embedding a flash video that didn't have an embed tag. It seems to be ok, but just in case, the direct link is http://www.sonnyradio.com/swanlake_0001.swf
What wonderful choreography! Makes me wish Cirque du Soleil would do Swan Lake. 8682. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 10/14/2008 8:23:03 PM WOW! 8683. anomie - 10/14/2008 9:19:24 PM Wow, yes. Amazing and beautiful. 8684. David Ehrenstein - 10/15/2008 12:18:29 AM Wow that photo link is great! Thanks. 8685. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 10/15/2008 12:19:44 AM Thought you'd like it. 8686. wonkers2 - 10/15/2008 3:06:45 AM Yeah, thanks for the link to the Louvre photos. 8687. wonkers2 - 10/15/2008 3:11:07 AM And to Wabbit for the dance video. Nice. Those are the biggest frogs I've ever seen! 8688. anomie - 10/20/2008 12:43:59 AM I'm gonna attempt to link a couple of the youtube wedding videos I did. Watch if you like. I'm proud of some of the editing although I'm well aware of the flaws and amateur nature of the whole enterprise. (For you copyright lawyers, I'm not making any money on these and I already got an okay to use the "Groovy" song.) 8689. anomie - 10/20/2008 12:46:56 AM Intro:
8690. anomie - 10/20/2008 12:49:19 AM Day before the wedding:
8691. anomie - 10/20/2008 12:51:18 AM Bride getting ready:
8692. anomie - 10/20/2008 12:59:54 AM I won't bore you with ten minutes of straight ceremony, so we'll skip to the after shots with video inserts. In any case, the video portions were done by two novice volunteers I forced into it. And I know it's very hard to hold a camera steady, but we made the best of it. 8693. anomie - 10/20/2008 1:33:05 AM After party...
8694. wonkers2 - 10/20/2008 1:46:48 AM Nice job! Are they relatives? Children? Friends? 8695. anomie - 10/20/2008 2:03:09 AM Thanks, Wonk. The bride is my first cousin once removed. Daughter of my first cousin who was at times like a sister when we were kids. 8696. alistairconnor - 10/24/2008 3:02:42 PM My girlfriend Caroline was seen with Barack Obama, yesterday in Indianapolis.

Michael Crichton, the author of the blockbuster science-fiction novels “Jurassic Park,” “The Andromeda Strain” and “State of Fear,” has died. He was 66.
I remember reading “The Andromeda Strain” when I was ten years old. I still have the first edition stored somewhere. It was my introduction to the Rand Corporation (memories of pseudoerasmus being traded for a halibut), the Odd Man Hypothesis (which, though fictional, made a certain amount of sense to me), classified government science, the idea of first contact, and the problems and possibilities of genetic mutation. All its flaws aside, it was still exciting and fascinating. The 1971 film, currently running on Comcast cable, gave me a certain confidence as an awkward pre-teen geek girl. You don't see women who look like Kate Reid in starring roles anymore.
Bon voyage, Michael Crichton.
