10:23Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Updating the Irish Dance WikiI've made a number of updates to the Canadian area of the Irish Dance Wiki (rincepedia), if you've got any additions or changes you'd like made, head on over and make 'em! The site's for dancers and musicians world-wide and everyone is able to edit. Saturday, February 6. 2010Vacation photos from spaceOk, they aren't really vacation photos but there's something about getting "snapshots" from the astronauts that makes them more compelling than the pictures that are part of press releases.
Thursday, February 4. 2010Got stars?What are you doing March 3-16? Have you ever seen the Milky Way (other than in photographs)? Help figure out what light pollution is doing to our ability to see an enjoy the heavens. You can also download activity packets to share with students, family and friends.
Monday, February 1. 2010Columbia and the space programSeven years ago the shuttle Columbia broke up over Texas.
Why did the administration pick this day to gut the Moon program? Monday, February 1. 2010Poor little SpiritHad to share this one from xkcd. Click the image for the full comic.
Monday, February 1. 2010Recent astro shotsHere are some recent photos taken with my Celestron C8 and new CG-5 mount. The photos aren't all that great but I wanted to post about them anyway. It's been cloudy the last week and I'm going through astronomy withdrawal.

UK, are you f-ing kidding me? Posted by Michael Harrison

12:13Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) UK, are you f-ing kidding me?Dr O'Hara, have you looked up and down your street lately? How many CCTV cameras can you count? You're worried about what kind of privacy people voluntary give up through sites like Facebook when you've got all those eyes watching you that you have no control over? Your boat has left the dock. A long time ago. If you want to fight against privacy loss, fight against those cameras. Friday, January 8. 2010400 years of Jupiter's moonsI forgot to post about this yesterday, which was the 400th anniversay of the discovery by Galileo of Jupiter's moons Europa, Callisto and Io. Yeah Galileo! Go out and look at Jupiter tonight through at least some binoculars. You'll see a larger bright dot with smaller dots nearby. Today the average person has much better optics than Galileo had. Go look!
