Stephanie Zvan has the details, as well as our upcoming MTM schedule: What do you get when you combine Carmen Electra, the less-popular O’Connell brother, and the daughter of a professional wrestler?

Fossil Gears, by Flying Trilobite
Last week, Jodi and I hosted Glendon Mellow (a.k.a The Flying Trilobite) and his lovely family for an all-too-brief night right before the end of their road trip through the Maritimes.

Peter Sinclair reports on the 2012 drought: “This Is Not Cool”
While you can’t take any one data point in isolation, the really steep data points — as 2012 has been — do help to clue people in to what’s happening on this planet.

Curiosity successfully touched down on Mars
The terror is over. Our first 256×256 snapshot of the surface of Mars after the utterly terrifying touchdown sequence. Eight years to plan and build this rover that’s bigger than your car and taller than you. 36 weeks of travel across 562 million kilometres of space travel. And it missed its mark by a mere …
