Von Trapp: The Real Story


An article at Archives.gov tells the real story of the Von Trapps, which is quite different from the portrayal in The Sound of Music. Among the discrepancies are the number of children (the film has seven children instead of ten), Maria's role (her assignment was to teach one child in the Von Trapp family), and Georg Von Trapp's nature (who actually loved music).

You can find more of the real story here (click link).

First Dog, Bo


President Barrack Obama and his family will be getting their dog, Bo, next week. Bo (formerly called Charlie) is a 6-month-old portuguese water dog and you'll find lots of pictures and more info at http://firstdogcharlie.com .

Happy Easter, Google


Did you notice how Google didn't put up a funky new logo for Easter? I guess the guys aren't celebrating Easter this year due to the recession and all. Things will get better soon, people.
