Time flies drags when you’re having fun stuck in a quickly deteriorating apartment complex. Yep, a year has passed and we’re finally getting to move into (what we hope is) a better place.

In the culture of modern day America, intellect is valued over faith and quite often those with one are believed to be without the other. However, I very much consider myself a learned man and I do possess an above average IQ; yet I also have faith.

But anyway. Here’s to the revival of a great hobby, blogging. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Prior to NASA’s Apollo 11 moon landing in ‘69, NASA sent several several orbiters to photograph the surface of the moon so that they could, among other things, choose a landing site. The data that was transmitted back was recorded on large magnetic tapes, and then transferred to photographic film for analysis. However, because of the limits of the technology available at the time, the images retrieved were of a much lower resolution than the original photos taken by the orbiters. Once NASA was done analyzing the data, all the tapes were Read the rest of this entry »
