Well, let me just say that it is fantastically easy! Panoramio's site is fast and simple with a tag system for organizing photos, and the user account creation requires you to fill only three fields of personal data. It's fun!

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 18:43:00 -0800 http://pquijal.com/blog/index.php/post/59/ I've started a Wikipedia article for the "Academy scream" a.k.a. the scream used when Howie Long's character is kicked from the box car in _Broken Arrow_. Everybody's heard this scream, but it doesn't have a solid name like the Wilhelm.

At any rate, I've sent an e-mail to Blizzard Entertainment in search of the origin of the "Academy scream."_ _*Update - 2/16/07:* More updates are in the comments._ Wed, 14 Feb 2007 01:44:29 -0800 http://pquijal.com/blog/index.php/post/58/ "*THE 2007 PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED!!!!* THE NEW DATES ARE THURSDAY, APRIL 26 - MONDAY, APRIL 30TH at the David Lawrence Convention Center" Source: http://www.pittautoshow.com/121.html?flash=0 - URL: http://www.pittautoshow.com/121.html?flash=0 - Sat, 10 Feb 2007 15:38:38 -0800 http://pquijal.com/blog/index.php/post/57/
