    I can't make out the constellations. I'm kinda bad at astronomy.

    I've been student-teaching two high school geometry classes this semester, and one of my students found out I liked Ocarina of Time. I got cool teacher points by bragging about how I always know where all the keys are in the water temple.

    The dogs are driving now. Pretty awesome. Also funny because people on YouTube have been given charges for showing their children driving short distances, but dogs are totally okay.

    Has anyone here ever linked the PBS Idea Channel? It's pretty neato. It sometimes occurs to me other people may not actually be aware of these things just because I am. I figure if they did all know they'd talk about it at some point and that hasn't seemed to happen.

    So in other news I'm going to Florida with my dad in mid-June for a thing. I've never been there and could stay for a couple of extra days to do the tourist thing. Anybody know what would be interesting to do in Florida for a day or two? I've never really thought about it.

    Where in Florida? I'm actually up in what's called the Panhandle, which is pretty much southern Alabama. Florida's a big place!

    I'm from the Gulf Coast, near Tampa! Florida is indeed a big place!

    Presumably around one of the major airports? Probably Orlando at some point. I'm not really sure, my parents weren't entirely clear.

    Well let us know, and we'll hook you up with dope infos.

    Sounds like the business stuff is in Fort Pierce and Orlando is a likely airport stop. So more on the east side of the state.

    Well, beyond the obvious in Orlando (Universal > Disney), there's Dinosaur world, I guess. I don't know the atlantic coast.

    I totally want to go to Harry Potter world at some point.

    The Castle ride is awesome, but Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge are among the more disappointing roller coasters I've ever ridden - within the Universal complex, both The Hulk and RipRide Rockit are much better coasters.

    Dueling Dragons is really short - but you have to ride each once at least.

    Beyond that, Harry Potter world is the best - Hogsmeade is very well done, for example.

    I've always been partial to Busch Gardens, though. I think it's the best theme park in the state.

    Noted. I'm not actually much of a Harry Potter fan though. Never bothered to read the books though I got dragged to see the movies somehow.

    Here's some juicy information about RipRide Rockit, if you do go to Universal:

    Sounds magical!

    Puns aside, I totally can't go due to Florida.

    Sounds like an unhealthy alternative to something more entertaining.

    Also pricey.
