I love old commercials and I actually can remember watching the one shared below for Samsonite luggage back in the 1970’s when the marching band walked across the luggage with it showing no signs of damage.

It’s been one of those weeks, this particular election season has been much more challenging for me since I’m working now, still blogging politics for over 80 hours a week and involved in a homeless awareness project called “Tent City” which is this weekend.

No, I’m not talking about the meaning as:

If you read the earlier coverage about the lunar plume, you’ll remember that scientists didn’t think they had video, only some still pictures, turns out as was updated by New Scientist, there is video after all:

Now that I’m appearing at least twice a month on our local FOX news station doing what is called a “Rant & Rave” I’ve had to be more concerned with how I look, at least on the days I have to go into the studio to be taped. I’m not a big make up [...]

The one thing that scares me about this, Data Liberation Front is that it’s being promoted by Google. Google is known for it’s proprietary acts against bloggers who tried to earn income from keywords who did not want to be ripped off by Google’s AdWord system that basically gave Google all the profits.
