Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

The space station is now fully armed and operational with a cannon
I love that there is an international standard for CubeSat design specifications, yet down here on earth we can't seem to come to an agreement on a standard for cell phone plug adapters.
Also I'm kind of curious about the engineering needed to keep the SS from shifting off course upon firing of the cannon. Or maybe it's not an issue, and the movie Gravity has affected my brain.
