Here’s a couple of spiral galaxies. As usual, click on the picture for the .tif download…

My flight back to New York is scheduled for 3:30pm. Assuming it isn’t delayed, I’m probably boarding now. And that’s it…
The end of my awesome vacation with my brother in Georgia.
Back to…
New York, Teavana, parents… life…
I think maybe I should move back to Georgia…
Nick Edelstein is actually a family friend, and one of my all-time favorite guitarists. I even got to play with him at a number of shows. The following song is one of my absolute favorites by him. It also, incidentally, features drums written and played by my brother Aaron.
The guitar solo is one of those that builds… it starts slow and easy, and becomes stronger and stronger until it shreds. It starts at 4:00 and ends at 5:59. It’s so damn good…
This is my favorite Syd-era Floyd song. I enjoy it…
In response to the Science March yesterday, Agent Orange issued an entirely unbelievable statement as a response…
President Donald Trump declared his support for the environment and scientific research on his first Earth Day in the White House amid harsh criticisms over his actions to roll back environmental regulations and proposed cuts to non-military spending, including at the Environmental Protection Agency.
“Rigorous science is critical to my administration’s efforts to achieve the twin goals of economic growth and environmental protection,” Trump said in a statement Saturday as thousands of marchers filled the streets of downtown Washington to support science and evidence-based research — a protest partly fueled by opposition to Trump’s threats of budget cuts to agencies funding scientists’ work.
“My administration is committed to advancing scientific research that leads to a better understanding of our environment and of environmental risks,” Trump said. “As we do so, we should remember that rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate.
“This April 22nd, as we observe Earth Day, I hope that our nation can come together to give thanks for the land we all love and call home,” Trump added.
(Quick note for some ableism [“stupid” and the like… and we’re not debating that here]…)
Do you have 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 25 seconds? Good, because these are awesome.
Another Star Wars idea I’m apparently late to…
I really should have updated y’all on this move way back when it actually happened. Also, this is late… heh…
No major story, here. Just Europa. Click on image for .tif file…
