Putting This Blog out of its Misery
Okay this is the last entry for the MMR. Lets face it this blog sucks. I've got no direction, its not like I have any regular commentary from readers, I've stopped tracking web traffic but I can't imagine its off the charts.
I checked my Technorati rating, I'm ranked 1,219,524.... I'm over a million blogs away from number one... OUCH! There are blogs that haven't been updated in half a year with more heat then this one. This blog is the equivalent of a fresh crap sandwich, sure its fresh but who cares, I'm not eating it anyway. Nobody is touching this blog, let along reading it. So I'm killing it.
I'll return to the blogsphere with something else more refined and focused in the near future. In the meantime read the Checksum Crusader and/or The Deuce of Davenport. Both are vastly different but excellent blogs to read.
Gonna bag us a Sasquatch
I found this on CNN today, looks like researchers are going to focus a new Bigfoot hunt on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It'd been awhile since I'd seen any Bigfoot news, wouldn't it be wild if they got clear video of a Bigfoot. As much as I love these articles I don't believe Sasquatch exists, BUT what a mind blow it would be if these jokers came up with video of one of these things or better yet video and a body dead or alive.

The Woolly Mammoth can now be cloned but should we?
An interesting article from National Geographic that I found via Digg. Personally I think bringing back the Woolly Mammoth would be pretty cool. However resurrecting Neandertals is a different story, odds are this was a sentient species and bringing them back could bring up a good list of rights issues that we'd be best to avoid.

Indiana Jones back again

Here he is, Indiana Jones on the set of the fourth movie. This is the first new photo of Harrison Ford in his Indy gear. Even though some of my other favorite characters aren't returning in this latest chapter in the Indy series, I'm still pretty damn excited.

Biggest Dollar Comic Bin EVER
Something any comic book reader loves is a dollar box or bin, where any book in the box is just a dollar to purchase. When I was a kid these used to be the quarter bin, but inflation touches everything. Today I went to C-Mart in Landover, MD and spent a solid hour or so perusing the largest comic book dollar box ever. Actually this was 6 solid rows of long boxes full of comics from the 60's on to the early 2000's. There was a great selection of titles both from major publishers and independent companies. A great way to fill in some holes or to check out some series that you'd heard about OR a great way to get some comics cheap to introduce younger readers to medium.
It went about 50/50 on the amount of books that were bagged & boarded and those that were unprotected. The quality ranged from near mint to very good, with the protected books obviously being in better condition. From Casper to Elementals to Transformers to Superman to Femforce there was a little something for almost every reading taste. For me it was a fun way to spend a late Saturday morning. I picked up some issues of the Secret Wars limited series that I was missing, some of the mid 80's John Byrne Fantastic Four and Alpha Flight, and a few other things. Good Stuff!
