Engineering Extinction Event

Recently Austin ISD has been highlighting the trouble with getting kids ready for the high tech future, and the three truths about science education. One, equations are dull. Two, space is awesome. Three, dinosaurs rock.

Good Night Austin, Texas, Wherever You Are

First a little personal history to put Thursday night’s Zappa Plays Zappa performance at Stubb’s into perspective. The first rock show I attended was Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore East in New York City, June 1971.

Walking After Midnight... but Before 65 Million B.C.

I have no obsession or deep longing to experience dinosaurs in almost live form. But I do remember as a child visiting Glenrose State Park where dinosaurs are supposed to have left their footprints.

Fallout From 'Le Main de Dieu'

From the Headline Wire:
• "French president Sarkozy apologizes to Ireland" for the Thierry Henry hand-ball that knocked Ireland out of next year's World Cup. ("I told Brian Cowen how sorry I was for them," said Sarkozy.)
• "Economic fallout in Ireland over elimination" ("It would have lifted the gloom and got people spending.")

The Totally Awesome AusChron Newscast is Playing With Fire

The Newscast talks up new turmoil with the Forensic Science Commission, known for being roadblocked in their Todd Cameron Willingham investigation, and delves into the Hustle's breakdown of Mayor Lee Leffingwell's campaign promises. All this plus a (pretty bad) Alex Jones impersonation. Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.

Texans Welcome Bird-Flipping Bud to Town

Always the class act, Titans owner Bud Adams incurred a $250,000 fine for flipping the bird twice during Tennessee's victory in Buffalo last Sunday. The man who moved the Oilers out of town will be returning to the scene of the crime this Monday with Houston high school hero Vince Young back taking the snaps.

Bill Narum: We Call That Art

McCoy the Top QB Ever? Talk to the Ghost of VY.

Vince Young. Go ahead and say it. Everyone else will repeat the mantra this weekend and on through the end of this season of timidly high Texas Longhorn expectations. VY is the cloud that hangs over the Colt McCoy-led Horns as they creep through mostly mediocre opponents ever so close to a spot in the national title game.
