INFINITY Welcomes Careful Drivers

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. This is something that some guys and work and I discussed a while back... someone has done it, and the results are fabulous!

This weekend we did something different. I am ashamed to admit that I have lived an hour from Raleigh for 8 years now and have never really been downtown. We fixed that on Saturday.

This past weekend, the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh held it's annual Astronomy Days along with the Raleigh Astronomy Club. The event involves a lot of displays and hands on projects and a couple speakers and events that highlight astronomy, NASA, emerging technologies and other related topics. It's geared toward adults as well as kids and was a blast.  read more »

So what happens when the universe finally comes to the end?

I found this off a Digg link today and read it at work. It's a rather short story that covers the rest of human existance and answers that one burning question that we all have. I highly recommend it to every one, especially fans of Science Fiction.

I had a great weekend. It seems that not everyone had such a great weekend however.

It just shook me to the core to imagine that Adama was not a grandfatherly type. That Tigh was not a jovial but serious man, and that Starbuck was not a womanizing, gambling, Han Solo type in a fighter.  read more »

This clip is amazing. First of all, it just boggles the mind how so many creatures in such close quarters can turn and dive in formation like that, and they do it naturally. Human pilots take years to learn the skills necessary, and these birds can do it instinctively from birth.  read more »
