I am here at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute for the northern California premier of Hard Problems, a documentary about the Math Olympiad. Quotes from the movie I thought were particularly good. The subject of math rather than just the random facts I was taught in school. And now, onto the Q&A panel.

New Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE images up. NASA has just released a whole new set of images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiters HiRISE camera and they are just stunning. There are a bunch of great images of the Gullies but the one that really stood out to me in terms of vivid beauty was a dune. Credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona.

To make blogging a more regular exercise for me, I present the "Friday Planetary Feature" feature. Every friday a cool picture of some planetary feature. and today, what better way to start than with a great image of Victoria Crater that I snagged from Greg Laden. Now just think about what a beautiful hike that ridge would be.

An Atheist Reads The Bible: Isaiah 41:17-20. From the King James Bible (I know you people are out there trying to get me to use NRSV. I have a message for you FUCK NRSV!

However that's not what this post is about. Toys are interesting, and it's even more fun if you've got your own to fiddle with. On a previous trip to Hong Kong, I'd decided ...
