Beam your craigslist ad into space

WHAT: craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster won an eBay auction for the first private communication transmission light years into deep space, with the idea of offering this opportunity to craigslist users.

HOW: The friendly folks at Deep Space Communications Network (DSCN) will beam the postings trillions of miles into space using redundant klystron transmitters and a satellite dish.

HOW MUCH: The winning bid was $1225, but craigslist is negotiating with DSCN for extra capacity to accomodate the anticipated volume of craigslist postings to be transmitted - 10,000 ads were designated by users for transmission during the first 24 hours!

WHEN: The transmission is currently scheduled for May 15th, 2005, directly following the launch of the space shuttle Discovery.

WHERE: Cape Canaveral, FL

WHY: It seemed fitting for craigslist users to be the first to beam internet postings and classified ads into deep space.

yeah yeah, someday maybe i’ll start posting again… until then, this page serves the main purpose, which is having my contact info… additionally, it has plenty of links i feel are worth sharing with the world and gives me a place to direct people to to get the pics i take and such… the pics continue to get uploaded, but, i am too lazy to name them descriptively these days (or make posts about them), so, you have to REALLY want to see something to go digging in there…

anyway, i just started a new route/schedule at work, so, maybe i’ll have more time to actually make posts…
or maybe not…
we’ll see…

(of course, you can always check out my old blog from back when i posted stuff all the time…)

i have not yet decided whether i will redirect insidiousplots.com to the new site or leave it pointing here… i AM leaving the site intact and am NOT importing all my old posts over…
it is a new beginning…

btw, i will be redirecting all insidiousplots.com email to my new domain name… no need to update your address book, it should work seamlessly…
