In what I liked to call Super Bowl 34 (Click the 34 for why), we saw an unexpected outcome.

The New [Jersey] Giants beat the spread.

For those of you who came in late, these are the top 20 search strings used to find Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com on the various Search Engines of the World Wide Web.

And I’m having fun with the Do it Yourself Demotivators.

Lets get to checking!

All the Ultra-Right-Wing talking heads out there are slamming Arizona Senator, and Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain. Ann Coulter has called him more Liberal than Hillary Clinton. Tammy Bruce has called him Hillary Clinton in a dress.

I’m listening to the callers on the Talk Shows and they are just re-spouting the same talking points as the Pundits on Television.

• McCain-Feingold (The Campaign Finance Reform Law) is an attack on Free Speech.
• McCain-Kennedy (The Failed Illegal Immigration Bill) was simply an Amnesty Bill
• The Gang of Fourteen (The Bi-Partisan Senator Group for Judicial Appointments) was a compromise of Conservative Values
• And much much more..

I’m tired of the disinformation I’m hearing, and I’m going to make a lame attempt to set the record straight.

As you can tell from my Book Reviews, I’ve become a slight fan of the Aubrey-Maturin Book Series by Patrick O’Brian.

When I first started reading the series, Four Years Ago I picked up a copy of Master and Commander from a Used Bookstore (as all the current books were reprints framed after the Movie.) After I picked up Post Captain and H.M.S. Surprise the publisher reprinted the whole series, with newer covers, and a change in size.

I’m always astonished how the world celebrates the Statehood of the mighty-mighty State of Arizona.

I appreciate the gesture, and all; but chocolates, roses and greeting cards are a bit much, don’t you think?

Today, I crossed off the Horatio Hornblower book Beat To Quarters a.k.a The Happy Return from the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Reading List.

I received this book as a gift from Dad, a couple of Christmases ago, and finally got around to reading it. But at this point, I’m now without additional Hornblower novels in my possession.

From the Discovery Channel

It seems the Cassini mission discovered Titan’s Surface Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth

Saturn’s orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and dunes.

I’ve been tinkering with an unused WordPress feature on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com:

As if I’m not reading too many book series already, I thought I’d try Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, beginning with Casino Royale, which I just crossed off the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Reading List

I wasn’t too impressed with the short novel, but I’m told the series does get better, and this was Fleming’s first try at the genre.

For those of you who don’t know, there is a scheduled Lunar Eclipse, this evening, starting at 8:43 PM EST. (6:43 here in the Old Pueblo, and 5:43 in Ciscofornia.)

I was alerted to an interesting development by the “Nameless County Employee” that Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was not visible on the County Network.

For those of you who came in late, the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-Compound resides in Pima County in the state of Arizona, and is the primary residence of the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Vicinity.

Don’t mind this, I’m geeking out between online applications.

Ah, Web 2.0, is there anything it can’t do?
