It just clicked for me that the Mars lander which touched down successfully last night is called 'Phoenix.' I was watching Star Trek: First Contact the other day, and saw Zephram Cochrane travel at warp speed, and make first contact using a ( Read more... )

Tonight, eight o'clock (local time), has been declared Earth Hour. Where people around the world are shutting non-essential appliances off, to reduce carbon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour  [nods] This is cool. I was definitely from the Big Help generation.
