Jim Thompson: Space Ace
Jim Thompson, co-anchorman alongside Dwight "Windows4Evr" Silverman over at the Houston Chronicle's TechBlog, has this really cool new side gig. Jim was invited to join the team that is building Orion, the next manned (U.S.) spacecraft, as the lead of the team that is developing the audio-visual flight software. (Jim's been working in the space business for the past 11 years.)
Jim's new side gig leaves little blogging time. Maybe every so often, once in while, occasionally, here and there he'll write, but people familiar with the subject assure me Jim's still around, will continue to blog and that's a good thing. Now I know I'll be able to sleep tonight. *chuckle*
(I promised Jim I wouldn't bring up the Sexy Geeks -- you may recall I nominated Jim and Dwight back in November. I s'pose I just broke that promise, didn't I.)
Anyhoo, this post is dedicated to Jim Thompson: blogger, sexy geek, space ace... who still wears socks with his topsiders. (ew.) ;-)

Space Ace? That sounds so 1950-something Buck Rogersish. It also happens to be the best compliment I've had all day, so who's complaining?

Hey, I tried. The original title was "Clogs in Space" but then I realized it was topsiders, not clogs. *shrug*
