Pilots get to use iPads for the whole flight, but passengers don't.

From F.A.A. Approves iPads in Cockpits, but Not for Passengers:

There is some thought that the rule forbidding devices during takeoff and landing was made to ensure that passengers paid attention. The F.A.A. has never claimed this. (If this was the case, passengers would not be allowed to have books, magazines or newspapers during takeoff and landing.) 

Avatar was actually a remake of Pocahontas.

To prove that Avatar was actually a remake of Pocahontas, someone combined audio from Avatar to show that it matches up precisely with video from Pocahontas.

I'm dreaming of a white Valentines Day?

Today it snowed while we were at church. (It had nearly all melted by the time we left.)

Yesterday, we went to the park because it was relatively warm outside.

We've been having a weird winter.

I'm not just dreaming of a white Christmas Eve.

I'm glad I wasn't planning on shopping for Christmas gifts today.

Here's what my front yard looks like.

Home Movies

I watched some home movies with my family today.

Some people don't look very different thirty years ago compared to how they look today. Some people look very different.

I have the same amount of fashion sense now that I did back then.

I've never had so much fun throwing away stuff!

We have a new trash can at our house, and it's so much fun! For a while, I've wanted to have a trash can with a pedal. (I like to be able to throw away trash without touching the trash can with my hands. Yeah, I have a little case of OCD.) Our new trash can has a pedal, and it even "glides" to the closed position after the pedal is released.

I'm so fortunate to have a wife who saw that this trash can was available for much less than I've noticed other trash cans with pedals costing and also let us buy it!
