Work Break

Posted in fun, podcasts, random, videos on May 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I’m still alive…. and working…. and needed a short break…. I know I tweeted this twice already, but I can’t stop laughing at it… “The Turkey that Ate St. Louis” or how astronomy grad students procrastinated in 1969… Also, “Gettin’ Pissed with the FDO” from Dragon*Con 2009, finally posted! Well, the first one. Not safe [...]

A silly little video I made…

… with a not-so-little Saturn V. Starring Pluto Little Dippy, last semester’s mascot for Dark Skies, Bright Kids. We’re doing a kickoff party today for a new school, yay! If you don’t hear from me in a few days, it’s probably because I’ve been trampled by 80 over-enthusiastic kidlets. Wheeeee!

SDO is GO!!!!!

Posted in cool, picture, science, space, sun, videos on February 11, 2010 | 9 Comments »

Today, we could finally, honestly, say… SDO is GO!!! The Solar Dynamics Observatory launched today at 10:23am EST by an Atlas V from Kennedy Space Center. (The wha? The this! And this!) And we got to see this: A few people got this shot, but George is sitting right next to me! And there’s video [...]

Winter Wonderland

Posted in Charlottesville, snow, videos on December 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »

If you are my friend on Twitter, you’ve probably been oversaturated with this already… but it FREAKIN SNOWED here in Charlottesville! We unofficially measured 20 inches outside of my apartment, and some people in the area measured even more. A snowstorm like this can be very dangerous as some lost power (most of us had [...]

“Glorious Dawn”

Posted in Sagan, astronomy, belly dancing, science, videos on September 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I know everyone has written about, posted, or tweeted this video in the last few days, but I do love it so much. The music is BEGGING for a cool tribal fusion-y choreography.  There’s a 3/4 shimmy in there, and slow up-to-down figure 8 in the chorus, no?  Time to break out the Asharah DVD. [...]

Another Defense of Science

Posted in humor, music, pseudoscience, science, skeptic, videos on September 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I was taking a break the other day and following some fun Twitter links to a story about Eddie Izzard’s marathon of marathons, which is a really cool and inspiring story.  (Sorry, I don’t remember who tweeted it first!) This is just days after I watched “Circle” again, and nearly spilled my wine laughing at [...]

Nutty Pareidolia

Posted in fun, pareidolia, videos on September 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Here’s a quickie for you, while I’m working away diligently.  It’s a cute site that George IMed to me (from across the office) yesterday called This Peanut Looks Like a Duck.  Because if the Virgin Mary can show up on a piece of toast, the Great Duck will not be outdone. In fact, lots of [...]

A Truly “Dirty Job”

Posted in Charlottesville, humor, penn and teller, personal, skepchicks, skeptic, videos on May 20, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I’ve been working on lots of good (hopefully) stuff for work and also on a longer post of some importance… but a distraction is needed. Sent to me by the lovely Gail, it’s Mike Rowe, of Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs,” in 1992, selling stuff (to put it nicely) on QVC… Holy. Hilarious. Batman. Anyone feel [...]

Getting settled…

Posted in astronomy, carnival, education, food, fun, science, space, videos on March 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Trying to get comfortable in the new locale, doing lots of work, and getting ready for a great weekend away… so I’ve been quiet! Unusual for me. But I have to celebrate today’s warm weather and note that it’s getting closer to BBQ season. Remember the bacon explosion? Hijinks Ensue gives it a new twist. [...]
