Sad times?

Today lost an old friend. The hard disk in my iPod died by the kiss of death. Yes, the dreaded HD click death. Although I am saddened by loss, I am consoled by the fact that I am writing this post on my new iPhone. Let's hope that it stays with me as long as the last one!

Happy Constitution Day

Today was Constitution Day, celebrating the 220th Anniversary of the Ratification of the Constitution of the United States Constitution. You may find out some funtastic Facts about the Constitution at the UC Davis Constitution Day Website. The National Archives also has downloadable high-resolution Images of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence too!

You may have noticed that I have capitalized every Noun in this Post. Josh's random Constitution Fact: During the 17th and 18th Centuries it was fashionable to capitalize every Noun, not just the Proper Nouns as we do Today. If you view a high-quality Image (such as one available from the National Archives via the Link above), you will see that all Nouns in the United States Constitution are capitalized. Bring that Fact up at a Party, and you will be super popular!
