Mmmm. Tasty.

I’m finally back online. Long story.
I am increasingly convinced that I didn’t learn nearly enough in my history classes. For example, how come I had never heard of the Tunguska Event. At least one scientist is saying that this massive, unexplained explosion is the cause behind global warming. The Tunguska event occurred on June 30, 1908 over an uninhabited area of Russia and was probably caused by the explosion of a very large meteoroid above the earth’s surface. It created a destructive force equal to that of 10 and 20 megatons of TNT, or one really big atomic bomb. (The largest bomb ever tested by the US was 15 megatons. It pretty much leveled a forest and was blamed for an outbreak of smallpox. Oh, and it was also thought to signal the start of the end of the world.
Pretty cool, huh?

I talked about it here, but it took me a while to finally get one, thanks to the Mom and Dad. I had been holding out for the Sansa e280, with 8GB of flash storage to go along with that video playback capability and FM tuner in a tiny package. I’ve got nearly 2000 songs loaded on my Lil’ Monsta. Now I’m thinking about grabbing a 2GB MicroSD card to make room for another 500 songs, but mostly so I can brag that I have the largest-capacity flash player around.

Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, vowed to humiliate the U.S. today. Clearly he doesn’t know about YouTube. His task is futile.
