The Straight Dope Mailbag: The Straight Dope Mailbag: Was the Apollo moon landing a hoax? There have been several books written to promote this claim, and more articles. There was even a movie with a similar plot, Capricorn One, starring O.J. Simpson, among others (1977). The difference was that in the movie, the fake landing was for Mars, not the moon. One group of flat-Earthers actually claims O.J. was framed by the government for exposing the fake moon landings through his part in this movie!

Now you know the real reason behind the OJ murder. Just another example of The Tim Times leaving no stone unturned in the search for the truth.

FEED: IDÉE FIXE: Portrait Of The Blogger As A Young Man JORN BARGER IS A COLLECTOR, of a sort -- though you wouldn’t know what sort, exactly, from gazing on his worldly possession
---------------------------

Here's an article that explains the roots of blogging. We'll see what the future holds as this technology matures.
I'm happy to report that everything is up and running. It's taken twenty four hours of spare time to put together. I've got to confess that I've been forced into the ocean of HTML. I'm only ankle deep, but I can see the sharks from where I'm standing. Keep the lifeguard focused.
I'm goint to see if I can get this blog up and running today. I forgot to go back to the discussion forum and check on the status of the new server upgrades, but I'm betting whatever was hosed last night is straightened out by now.

Well I'm off to Blogger Heaven or Blogger Hell whatever the case may be. I've decided this will be the engine that drives the delivery of my latest round of content and also get incorporated into my website restructuring (which is an ongoing and neverending process lol). The more I work with these WYSIWYG workarounds, the more it makes me want to tackle the syntax of the actual HTML. I have resisted all temptation to return to my programming roots. I say leave the geek work to the geeks. I've got an image to protect.

I've had problems posting this since the server was upgraded. I went to the Blog bulleting boards and it was nice to see that other people were having the same trouble and that the management is actually responding.
