Site Updates
I've added three new films & one TV program to the
GRS Database.
I also added two new quotes:
You'll do it because it must be done. You'll do it
because nobody else can. And if you don't, millions
will die. If you tell me that's not enough, I won't
believe you. This is what has always set our people
apart. A thousand years of sacrifice in our veins, and
every generation must know its own suffering. I spit
on the people who did this; and, of course, the price
I have to pay. I'm making my peace with it. Now you
make yours. Go into that water, because it must be
done.
Boris Shcherbina in
Chernobyl
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner
or later that debt is paid.
Valery Legasov in Chernobyl
Enjoy!
Site Updates
I continue to upload changes that freshen
the look of the Site. If you notice anything
that doesn't clear up after doing a full refresh
(usually CTRL+F5), then, please, let me know!
I've uploaded a new feature to the website.
It's a three-dimensional globe with pins sticking
out of it. To access it, click the spinning globe
icon in the upper right of any page!
Each pin is a noteworthy photo that
I've taken. You can spin the globe by holding
the left mouse button and moving the mouse.
Also, you can zoom in and out with the mouse
wheel. If you click a pin, a photo should come
up. After you've enjoyed the photo, you can
click one of the two grey buttons underneath
to search for one of the recommended
keywords. Or, you can search for your own
keyword by clicking the telescope icon.
Thanks for creating and sharing
your awesome spinning globe module,
Vasco!

I corrected the previous entry's date. Oops!
Work continues to improve the styling
and loading performance. I'm also updating
the mobile pages
for visitors using their telephones.
Site Updates
I'll be tweaking the format on the site. So
if you notice a page that's messed up, and
it doesn't clear up; please let me know.

Site Updates
I've added seven new films to the
GRS Database.
And none have any infractions!
I also added a new quote:
You don't seem to hold majority rule in very high regard.
If something's wrong, it's wrong. Majority rule doesn't have anything to do with it.
Night of the Comet
Enjoy!

New Site Feature: Search
I've added a search feature! (The DuckDuckGo
version only returned a fraction of what's on the site.)
My search engine allows you
to search through the blog--current year and back
to 2013. It can also search the trip pages and quotes.
Perhaps the ability to search all of the images and videos
on the site will be the most popular? It searches
filenames and not the actual image, so keep that
in mind! Have fun! Here's a link to the
Desktop Version
. The mobile version is available at the top of the
main page.
Let me know if you find any errors!
The Grand Tour
I've finally finished watching
The Grand Tour.
I enjoyed how the ending ties everything together.
I still watch
Top Gear
regularly. I feel that it's a better show. Maybe
Clarkson's friction with the BBC or the small
budget brought out the trio's best? Or it could just
be that the idea was fresh. Still, I enjoyed
The Grand Tour.
and recommend it.
Graph of GRS Entries by Year & Decade
I continue to work on the feature that I previously
reported. It's slow going, but I am making consistent
progress. Meanwhile,
I created a plot of the GRS entries by year and decade.
It worked out pretty well! See it
here.
I last reported the entries only
by decade.
Enjoy!
Happy New Year!
I wish you the best for this year!
Site Updates
I've added a new funny photo:
I'm currently working on a new feature that should
connect the different parts of the website.
While working on this feature, I had to log into the
web server. I checked the site hits &
visitor counts. I was astonished that the site receives
about 300 unique visits every day, on average.
I'm stunned. And these aren't page hits like when
someone loads a photo from this site that's posted
to a forum. The daily hit count is about 3,000. These
figures are due to you. Thank you!!
