Holy Death Star, Rob Cockerham is auctioning the Light Sharpener on Ebay.

My dad got me interested in Astronomy a long time ago. We like it for different reasons. I think he enjoys the puzzle of locating objects in that jumbled mess up there. He likes to find asteroids and messier objects. He knows his constellations and can always call out the name of the planet glowing most brightly. Wikisky.org seems created just for him. It's an interactive map of space that can, for instance, not only tell you where NGC 4438 is, but what it is, and show you what it looks like through my dad's expensive telescope.

If the vast mysteries of space aren't your bag, maybe you'd like to see what the ten most puzzling ancient artifacts are.

I'll be in Los Angeles for a few days for work. Hopefully I'll have a chance to sightsee, maybe play a little Hipster Bingo.

While I'm gone feel free to meditate on the affects of advertising on the English language. Remember to keep breathing. Don't get distracted.
