Totally awesome "galaxy quest"

My friend Rich Raab sent me this cool link to a Web page from Florida State University that shows a conjectural image of our Milky Way galaxy, then gradually zooms in to planet earth, the city of Tallahassee and the leaf of an oak tree on campus: micro.magnet.fsu.edu

Libel perpetrated on Wikipedia

I've had my doubts about Wikipedia, the open-source online encyclopedia that just about anyone can edit, subject to a theoretical oversight. Thanks to another friend, Phil Faranda, I've learned that someone posted on it a false assertion that John Siegenthaler Sr. (a Tennessee journalist who was a founding member of the Freedom Forum, along with USA Today's Allen Neuharth) was involved with both Kennedy assassinations, just as a "prank." Ho, ho, ho. I think 2-5 years in the penitentiary ought to wipe the smile off of that guy's face. See nytimes.com.

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
