NASA announced Tuesday that its new crew exploration vehicle will be named Orion.

Duncan sent me this to complement my recent post on how to ding Focus On the Family: Baby Got Bible.

It seems that in response to us, not only have they begun implementing cookies, but they have taken down the Narnia DVD! Just how much notice did that post get?? You people are freaking me out.

One Giant Blunder for Mankind: How NASA Lost Moon Pictures.

Getting a lot done today, but only during the afternoon, as if the lost art of film editing was being applied to pack all the action into only two hours. I have cheques to pick up, work to arrange, and a focus group to attend. Simple things, wishes carrying my feet forward. Fortuitously, last night was the first night in a month that I slept home and alone. I was woken by a phone-call, Michael from Drumheller. He wants to know if I can build him an Electronic Press Kit for his Frank Zappa band. He might be visiting soon. Haloes dripping down like the unexpected rain drowning the sky outside.

wicked.

I was so fucking disappointed when I found out that the new spacecraft would be called Orion. At first I had thought that they'd resurrected the old Project Orion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)), which would have been extremely cool.

Ah well.

And as for your Focus on the Family post... well... it started in the Stranger (http://www.thestranger.com), and worked its way outward from there, via a lot more channels than just your (admittedly (in)famous) bl0g. So there you go.

Well, after Warren Ellis linked it, you got MetaFiltered too. I hear tell you were also linked on BoingBoing, although I didn't see the post. And I linked from a couple places, and someone else told me it was all over their friends list. So that's an awful lot of linkage.

I have to put my 2 cents in too. I heard about the Focus on the Family story days before you posted about it. I noticed someone commented that you should cite your sources. I agree. Your post is almost verbatim what the Stranger story was. If I was Noel Black (the original author), I'd be pretty upset. "As also told in the Stranger" (your edit) is much different than saying "originally written by..." As your blog gets more popular, I would be extra careful not to plagiarize. Slippery slope, this.

There is my 2 cents. No GST added.

What impresses me about that video is how they did the whole song and made it make sense... even if I don't agree with it.

Hey, email me an address if you want a mix-CD; I've been thinking about a few songs for you.

Hey man, don't mess with the queers. We will take you OUT! I got your post sent to me from at least 2 or 3 people before making an order myself. You give us a chance to fuck with the homophobes, and we'll be all over it. Thanks for the instructions and easy activism - glad you're using your profits to benefit a pro-LBGT group.

How much notice did the post get? I'm here from www.metafilter.com

And then I wandered around 'cause yo journal is so purty.

Loved Victoria and Vancouver and your LGBT rights are better than ours.
I remarked just yesterday, if only we leased the Canadian voters when we were voting for a President, we wouldn't be in this stupid Bushism.

If you felt like blogbombing it, I certainly wouldn't mind the extra pageviews :D
