Some friends of mine went to a concert in New Orleans last Halloween - this is their costume.

I got an email from President Obama today. I’m not sure how he got my address - but it’s not every day one receives an email from a President - well, at least not every day I get one from the President of the USA. For a while there I was getting something almost every day from various political leaders and/or ex-pats from Nigeria…
Is there any place in the world you could see a real sight like this? Yes. Pictured above is a single exposure image spectacular near, far, and in between. Diving into the Earth far in the distance is part of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy, taken with a long duration exposure. Much closer, the planet Jupiter is visible as the bright point just to band’s left. Closer still are picturesque buttes and mesas of the Canyonlands National Park in Utah, USA, lit by a crescent moon. In the foreground is a cave housing a stone circle of unknown origin named False Kiva. The cave was briefly lit by flashlight during the long exposure. Astrophotographer Wally Pacholka reports that getting to the cave to take this image was no easy trek. Also, mountain lions were a concern while waiting alone in the dark for just the right exposure.

My first attempt at remixing REM’s ‘It Happened Today’ - great song(the original) I can’t wait for the final release. I hope it’s on vinyl…
