some links... from Florida! (I'll be back on Monday)

- Alert Reader My Mom [livejournal.com profile] dramamamalama points out: there's a How Stuff Works about Rice Krispies and they're saying that it's individual puffed rice kernels. Do we believe How Stuff Works, or ... ?

- GNU Hurd: mostly developed by a Gregorian friar. Interesting! He seems like a pretty nice guy. It probably takes some faith to be the HURD dude.

- For drum 'n' bugle corps (as distinct from marching bands), they use special gigantic bugles instead of the sousaphone. It's apparently historically a different activity, the drum 'n' bugle corps -- more military than collegiate. But neither of these things are the same as military pop. (thanks for the heads up, Laura [livejournal.com profile] laurapatt!)

we should go to a drum corps show sometime...like in the summer when they're touring. derek may be marching with santa clara vangaurd then!

this rice krispie thing is an enigma! maybe we should call kellog's and just ask.

i hope you're having a good time at home :)
