2007-04-19: This day in Celsius1414 history
Submitted by Robert Daeley on Thu, 2007-04-19 20:29.
Inspired by a “One year ago today on…” post on Lifehacker (I think) today, I thought just for the heck of it to check back in the Celsius1414 archives to see what was there for April 19th. What do you know? Almost complete for this date all the way back to 2003.
2006
Last year was the only one not exactly on the 19th, but there were a couple of cool posts on the 20th.
Browsing around minorleaguebaseball.com, I came across this mascots page, on which I found the coolest guy: Homer the Polecat, from the Huntsville Stars.
Cool trivial tidbits from the Wikipedia article on Philip K. Dick…
Regarding Heinlein and Le Guin.
2005
“Lance retiring. Dodgers 11-2.”
Lance Armstrong announced he’s retiring directly after this year’s Tour de France, which is bittersweet — good for him to hang up the bike when he’s still tops, but sad to see him go.
Also on the sports front, the Dodgers are 11-2 as of this writing. Earlier, they came back from 6-1 against the Brewers to tie it in the 8th, then Milton Bradley homered in the 10th, and they won 8-6. Nice. If this keeps up, everybody will be asking ‘Adrian Beltre who?’ And we’re still missing Gagne and Werth and Penny! Still, a long season to go.
2004
Back then I was starting out a “Miscellanea” series of posts, with a collection of links for each day. 2004-04-19 was one of the first:
- Pedalling to Freedom
- Confessions of an Aesthete
- From the Higgs Boson Particle to Leadbelly
- Another Reason Why We Love Canada
- VR Panoramas
- The world’s largest unexploded bomb
2003
“Enigmo. Stalking Homo erectus.”
Enigmo and more addicting games: I was going to mention this game, but Kottke beat me to it. Suffice to say, imagine the addiction-potential of combining the video game Lemmings and the board game Mouse Trap. Must resist….
A Scholar Follows Her Family’s Dusty Footprints: Louise Leakey is the third generation of a family that sometimes seems to have pieced together the early portrait of Homo erectus all on its own.
