Tom Snyder 1936 – 2007
Tom Snyder, the late night host of NBC’s Tomorrow Show from 1973 to 1981, died Sunday from complications of leukemia. He was 71. I remember his unusual talk show host style, which seemed at times to be more of an interrogation than an interview. And he had some memorable guests too. John Lennon, Steven Spielberg, Kiss, Bono, Johnny Lydon, Howard Cosell, and an unusual on location prison interview with Charles Manson.

Perseid Meteors Peak August 12th
Great article about some meteor showers coming up soon, on http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/8710437.html
The Perseid Meteors have great timing this year because the peak of the shower is expected around the weekend of August 12th. However, it’s a fairly large stream, which means you can usually see alot of meteors the day before and after the peak of the storm. Plus there will be a new moon, so if you have dark skies, you’ll see a great show.
A little advance planning for a camping trip to a dark sky location, like a nice state park, is a great way to [...]
Save The Ice Park
Ramble On posted about the state of Mississippi losing their only ice skating rink, The Ice Park, in Flowood. www.dcooley.net/
It’s a crying shame to see this happen. How can an entire state simply let go of it’s one and only ice skating park? How can the city of Jackson, the state capitol, not have enough support from local residents who want a safe and fun environment for their kids?
Not to mention the fact that the rink is the only ice skating park in the state of Mississippi. The next closest [...]

Sean Lennon @ Montreal Jazz Festival
Sean Lennon recently performed concerts in Montreal and Toronto as part of The Montreal jazz festival. He had some interesting comments about the state of the music business today, and his place in it. Lennon is promoting his new album Friendly Fire. His last album Into The Sun was released in 1998.
Sean Lennon has said that there is little room for innovation in the genre that his father helped make famous as a member of The Beatles.
“I mean rock ’n roll is already kind of played out,” he said at a news conference at the Montreal International [...]

Lady Bird Johnson 1912 – 2007
I don’t know why these things come as a shock, but sometimes, I honestly just don’t think about them. Of course, here in Texas, it’s big news. Lady Bird Johnson, former first lady during the 60′s, has died of natural causes at the ripe old age of 94. She was among family and friends at the LBJ ranch in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin. It’s always sad to see beautiful people like her pass on, but at least it was a peaceful passing.
I always think of Bluebonnets when I hear the name Lady [...]

digital downloads @ amazon.com
I didn’t realize you can rent or buy movies and television shows as digital downloads from amazon.com, until I got an email from them. It’s no wonder amazon is so big. Their marketing strategy is pretty smart, and pretty simple too. Customer buys a DVD; amazon.com sends email promoting their digital download site, AmazonUnbox Video Downloads.
