Happy Fourth to All

Happy Fourth of July weekend everyone. Non-Americans visiting this site; sorry, it’s just another run of the mill weekend.

As of 5 minutes ago, I officially (well, most likely) finished my source & cite check duties for my first article as R&T editor. It was quite a process; I ended up doing a lot more work than I thought I’d have to. I ended up tracking down quite a few specific pinpoint cites in dozens of cases, and adding parallel citations to just about all of the cites. Definitely time consuming. But it’s over!

My model aircraft collection seems to be reaching a plateau. I’ve collected 35 pieces of 1:400 UAL planes. There are a few pieces here and there that I’d “like” to collect, but nothing major. Of course, the manufacturers continue to tease us with pictures of new releases, so that should permit the UAL collection to grow, albeit at a snail’s pace. Wonder what airline I’ll move on to next… or if I even should!

For those of you who are interested, you can view the various models I have here (sorry, no pics, it’s just a forum).

Also, I recently completed United’s DC-8 line. It’s sweet. Have a look:

Incidentally, some of may have noticed that comments are no longer enabled for unregistered users. I turned them off because frankly, the comment spam was becoming unbearable, even with mt-blacklist. Plus, since I practically never get any comments, I figured this wouldn’t really piss anyone off too much. Anyway, that’s that.

IT’S BBQ TIME!

  1. Yeah comment spam is annoying to say the least. It’s also disappointing that a blog software as widely used as movabletype doesn’t have it built in and fully supported by the company by now instead of relying on third-party plugins.

    Btw, I just saw Aviator. Weird coincidence…

  2. u know…i registered just so that i can some day (like today) make a comment on your page! anyway, happy 4th and i hope you had a good weekend! congrats on completing checking your first article! :-)

  3. Well, what can I say–you frickin’ rock! :)

    Fourth was awesome. Seattle had one of the best fireworks displays I’ve ever seen!

    Back to work in about 6 hours… joy.
