A Hole (One of Many) on Mars

Mars is pockmarked with strange, nearly circular holes. The hole in this image was discovered by chance on images of the dusty slopes of Mars’ Pavonis Mons volcano taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars. The hole appears to be an opening to an underground cavern, partly illuminated from the right. Analysis of this and follow-up images revealed the opening to be about 115 feet (35 meters) across, while the interior shadow angle indicates that the underlying cavern is roughly 66 feet (20 meters) deep. Why there is a circular crater surrounding this hole remains a topic of speculation, as is the full extent of the underlying cavern. Holes such as this are of particular interest because their interior caves are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life. These pits are therefore prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human explorers.

Love This!

This is one of a very few remixes in many years that gets me all smiley inside and makes me feel like a 25 year old again.

So There's Going to be an Oz Prequel

Sam Raimi and James Franco are working on a Wizard of Oz prequel, telling the story of the arrival of the wizard.

Everything I’ve seen about it so far looks intriguing, but I have to be honest: since reading Wicked and it’s sequels, I’ve never been able to look at the Oz story the same way again.

Now that is a something I would love to see brought to the big screen—and not as a musical.

Yes Please

But it probably won’t do me any good until 128GB Micro SD cards are available. I’d want to move my iTunes library off the main drive onto one of these, but it’s pushing 105GB, so it won’t fit on the current maximum 64GB Micro cards. By the time a 128GB card is available, it will probably be time to replace the Air, and I’ll just opt for a 500GB SSD.

It's the Hypocrisy, Stupid!

If Obama had hidden millions of dollars in offshore accounts and refused to provide any explanation the way Romney has, Republicans would be calling for his head on a pike. But with one of their own? All you hear are crickets chirping.

One again, Republican HYPOCRISY rears it’s ugly, ugly head.
