Absolutely for the fans. And I mean all the Frellin’ fans 😉

Today it was reported that most 10th graders in Washington state can not pass the Math state expectiations.
I blame a severe lack of the good Sesame Street stuff. Oh sure, it still comes around in rotation (at least some of it)… but the good stuff… not as often.
Some favourites:
- 1-20 indian man with 4 arms:
- The pinball machine we all wanted
- My Martian Cutie (Number 9)
- The Ladybug Picnic.. and for those of you studying kaballah.. IN HEBREW!
- Trippy basic addition and subtraction to 5
- The alligator king (7)
- The animated rock tribe ritual of passage unto the realm of 12 actually kind of disturbing in reflection.
- Early scary computer counts to 4
- Let’s sing a song of 10
- These featured a clumsy baker taking a dive with X number of pastries. See if you can identify the baker. This was the only time you saw this mainstay of Sesame Street on screen.
- Personally, I wish I could find “Let’s sing a song of 9” because it is the first appearance of Rowlf the Dog.
- The crazy number painter played by “The Jefferson’s” neighbor Paul Benedict was a favourite, but the shorts were killed in the 80’s because it was perceived that they encouraged graffiti. In this episode he tries to paint a “7”. In this short he runs into a random female (the second person in the elevator)… Bonus points if you can recognize this actress before she was discovered.
- And if you really want to understand me and where I get it… hands count to 11
Hopefully we can all count now.
Personally, I love these because they fire off synapses deep in my brain that have a warm nostalgic buzz to them.
Oh, and in case you really can’t figure it out…
In the last 24 hours I accepted a Full time position with Microsoft working on Microsoft Office for the Macintosh.
A long year has come completely to a close. I start July 31st once again continuing my career as a Mac Engineer.
Happiness abounds.
Comments should go to this link if you have access. (The longer post that was ‘friends posted’)
Oh, and one other thing….
I have been receiving anonymous posts. I haven’t posted about it because the first post left me scratching my head as to the author. Today the author identified themselves.
Once I get that communication channel established (I’ve already emailed and left voice mail)… I will have a post about how today’s discovery (the identity of the poster) was just as happy news as the job offer I received yesterday.
So.. yes.. more forthcoming.
okay.. two.. For the special nostalgic nature of today’s news… I’ve put up an old icon of mine I like.
To this day.. this is the way I always count to three.

Lucas arts to release Star Wars Trilogy on DVD in Original Theatrical Release version!

Because I will be the first to file a class action suit if it’s advertised as the original theatrical release and it’s not. 😉
Note: I saw Star Wars at it’s opening weekend in Los Angeles at the 20th Century Fox Silver Screen Cinema (who’s exact name escapes me) in 1977. I was 9 years old. It was cinema perfection with Hardy Boys haircuts!
