When I saw this photo I was amazed at the maths involved and the luck that everything worked out as anticipated. A fraction of a second either way and it'd be out of frame.
I couldn't believe it, myself, but this is a real picture.
Last night, Anne and I got to go to the Jet Propulsion Labratory to watch the landing of the Mars Curiosity Rover. It was a powerful, emotional, inspiring experience. When I think about how these scientists flew something the size of my car to another planet and landed it almost exactly where th...
I failed English every single year in high school. Primarily because I never agreed with the teachers as to symbolism or meaning in a piece of literature or poetry. Writing, like music, painting or sculpture, is an art. Art is meant to evoke emotions, and if what I get from a piece of art is different to what you get from a piece of art then it's not a case of you being wrong, or me being wrong. We're both right. As long as you can express what you found in a piece of work, and are able to back it up with relevant information from the work, then you should be given a pass mark. Even if what you think is different to what the teacher thinks.

When will these people realise that people from all over the world want to watch.
I'm hosting Falling Skies: Second Watch
Two creators, one geek. Remember when I said I don't cancel convention appearances lightly, because I know how disappointing it is for the people who are attending. I assure you that this isn't a ploy to win a game of Mystic Warlords of Ka'a, or even a bowling match... this is just s...
