I grabbed and altered this photo from David Wells' Facebook page.
Dog, you really are a Waterhound!

Windows Wednesday.

Windows 8 unvieled. Me thinks the guys to the north are scared of Señor Jobs and maybe the Droid brothers, Sergey and Larry. Looks good so far. Let's hope there isn't a blue screen of death lurking underneath.

Eh Brah, Fins Only!

A Musical Interlude.

Via Fuu or Zen, depending on the network. To quote Fuu, "Tight!"

Science On Sunday. Spectacular Saturn Fly-Through.

5.6k Saturn Cassini Photographic Animation from stephen v2 on Vimeo.

Stephen van Vuuren - "This is fly-through of this photograph - photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/​catalog/​PIA11141 - only a little brightness and contrast has been made to balance the moons with saturn's body. Do note that several thousand layers of many Cassini photographs were animated to make the fly-through work without any 3D CGI. The saturation is off due to lack of Flash Player ICM support."

Tsunami Videos.

Muchos Tiburones!

Steve Irwin, a pilot with Island Marine Services, was flying about 100 yards off of Palm Beach, at 80 mph, when he spotted thousands of sharks. Seeing this fantastic sight, Steve whipped out his trusty iPhone and began filming. All those black objects you see in the water of this video are sharks. Can you say mommy? Mommy!
