I always get a chuckle out of the name for the Dragon Capsule as it is named after Puff the Magic Dragon, which a former business partner co-wrote. Both were many years ago.

Watched live and caught the flight outdoors, 560 or so miles from Vandenberg

Great SpaceX pictures, clear night, with minimal clouds.

Had the honor to meet 5 of the 50, some (3) little more than a handshake and a hello including in work meetings and 2 othes on multiple occasions, i.e. George Lucas, when I worked Industrial Light & Magic many years ago and Ed Catmull several times as well, including day 1 of employment at ILM.

Watched live. Did you?

We share a former employer.

And more at that hour into early evening from Vandenberg.

There is a great behind the scenes story about the explosion of the blimp. It involved great work by the ILM Model Shop

The final episode of M.A.S.H, “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen”, aired OTD in 1983. After 255 episodes, 105.97 million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to their favourite characters at the 4077th. It remains the most-watched single episode of any U.S. TV series. This feels real.

Goodbye, Farewell & Amen - the final episode of #MASH aired 43 years ago today, a huge ratings success. We have been MASH fans and have collected memorabilia. A few of our favorites: MASH cast numbered lithograph, IV Bottle that had Vodka in it when new, ice bucket & dog tags

I had the honor to meet Dr. Sullivan on a couple of occasions and to speak with her. She is one of two of a very small number of people to go solo to the Mariana Trench that I have known.

Watched live. Did you? Daylight and a bit cloudy precluded visibility outside.

Watched live. Caught a glimpse as well, even from 560 miles away SpaceX

A trend? Is it sustainable? At one time, as each new technology emerged, tape cassettes, CDs, digital (iPad and related) and streaming, we said, never looking back. Effectively, that has not changed.

It has taken years for "people" to figure out that the vast general public is not interested. That said, we owned the domain oculus3d.com which we sold to Oculus, the organization whose technology is the basis for the metaverse and which Facebook later purchased.

Easy answer - and it is something that I have been asked for years -- because people always think they are smarter, better at picking product for production/distribution than those that have done it for years. They often leave town with their tails between their legs.

Visual effects on 2001 led by the great, late, and friend, Doug Trumbull. The movie stands the test of time.

Sad to hear about the passing of icon Chuck Norris, a superstar by any definition. We shared a former employer and he is on the Shindler list of people I had the honor and good fortune to meet in an elevator. Your legendary capabilities live on. RIP Chuck. #ChuckNorris

My direct responsibility at Fox from June 1979 to July 1983 was overseeing the accounting of the merchandise, for Star Wars, MASH and other Fox properties. I interfaced with the Lucasfilm personnel by providing them regular statements and $ when required.

Great topic, one that I wrote about many years ago, When Showing up is not Enough. bit.ly/GT95pct
