View From the Bushes

Today has been crazy and I think I'm coming down with something, so as usual I'm forced to make excuses for why something hasn't been posted. Tomorrow is not looking great either, but with the day off on Thursday I should definitely be able to stay up late and make sure it's out on Wednesday. In any case, I don't have much more to say tonight, so I'm going to cut it short but I will leave you with a quote and a couple of links:

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'

--Isaac Asimov

Some pictures and an article about an eclipse in Antarctica

Confirmation that political correctness has gone way to far. The County of Los Angeles has banned the use of the term master/slave when describing computer architecture.
