Launch Date
It seems fitting on this, the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing, to announce a couple of launches of my own. First, my cohorts and I at Merge have officially announced the redesign of our website, and I can scarcely think of a project of which I’ve been prouder. Everyone played an extremely vital role in the endeavor, so feel free to peruse those About pages and meet the perpetrators.
The other imminent launch is that of AirTran Flight 121, departing from Atlanta and arriving in Los Angeles tomorrow. On board will be a group on a mission—a mission to conquer the “Classic Sierra Hike” at Kings Canyon. Yours truly will be joined by three others on this week-long trek, and much like the two prior editions of the Chuck Norris Memorial Hike, this one promises its share of bizarre photos and ridiculous anecdotes. You have been warned.
