Out of the Blue

A little foray into history this morning. I was tooling through the news archive, and I noticed that this is about the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Blammo project that resulted in our cool searchable news database. It's also just over a year since first amused mention of Swatch InternetTime, but it looks like this one hasn't caught on, at least around these parts. Also, for you real old-schoolers, it's now been over two years since last mention of Ranger Gone Bad 3 (and that mention was a joke about its non-existence at that), the ill-fated Quake movie sequel that would now be as over-budget as Heaven's Gate were it to still be in production (I think it's pretty safe to give up on this one). To finish on a high note, however, I'll point out this is about the three year anniversary of one of the all-time great Quake cinematic efforts, Operation Bayshield... the unfortunate note on this is I can't find a valid mirror of the movie anywhere. If I can dig one up, I'll post it tomorrow, like AMC, someone has to try to keep these classic films from fading into obscurity.

Link of the Day: Lunar Embassy. It's like The Man who Sold the Moon without having to give Robert Heinlein's estate a cut. Thanks Lord J.
Story of the Day: Greeks making waves over Sea-Monkey invasion. Thanks Scott Ames.
Image of the Day: Tom Arnold Never Dies. Thanks Larry Hastings.
