Chicken pox and cabin fever, an unbeatable combination.

Under the Sea with Lizards in GG Park

It's so authentic looking.

This one just needs to be published somewhere.

Lunar Eclipse

This is one of the most dramatic photographs I've ever seen. I love APOD.

Need An Update

Someone needs to post something new.

I've got nothing so it's up to you.

(Maybe I should work on a limerick)

What We Watched

We have two recommendations for DVD rentals. We needed our spirits lifted Saturday night so we went with a warm little comedy and an Oscar nominated documentary.

Both were enjoyable and can tell you they are worth your time.

Full disclosure, I like Zach Galifianakis. He's odd but generally low-key with the whole teddy bear thing going on. It drags a little in the third act and paints mental patients as quirky but nice (as Hollywood is want to do, unless it's a horror film). But, it was enjoyable and had fun surprises.

I had never heard of Banksy, but I did recognize some of his graphics. In fact, I'm pretty sure Dad's old red t-shirt with the rats was inspired by or stolen from him. This was a very interesting movie. I learned a lot about the whole underground guerrilla street art scene, as it were. It's also very funny. Don't let me put you off, it is worth seeing. It's entertaining and gets its point across without making your brain hurt.

As soon as you finish your homework or get all those NDA's reviewed you can relax with one of these little films.

...it's NASA's Image of the Day!

every day a new picture of something from somewhere in the universe (or, y'know, beyond)

Saturn's moons (pink horseshoes, green clovers not pictured): icy Rhea appears front and center with Dione just above, Tethys to the far left and Epimetheus a speck between Tethys and Rhea. Look closely for Prometheus, just to to the left of Dione and mostly obscured by Saturn's rings.  -wide-angle image captured by Cassini probe, Jan. 11, 2011-

here's one of your favorite planets' rings and moons, as much as could fit in the frame.

bet you didn't know you had such great taste in planets!
