NASA’s Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, carry pieces of metal recovered from Ground Zero. Both rovers are equipped with identical parts. This image, provided by NASA, is of the rover Spirit, and was taken by the panoramic camera on February 2, 2004. The piece of metal with the US flag emblem is aluminum recovered from the World Trade Center, after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

So a few minutes ago I’m checking out the stats page for my blog, when I see 2 hits from the search engine term ‘sexy ham radio’. I really had to do a double take on that.
This image is closer to the reality of ham radio. ‘Sexy’ is not a term I would generally attribute to it.
There are a few exceptions, of course.
For instance, THIS is a sexy ham radio operator…

Mars is more than a red dot in the night sky. It’s a real place. We can go there.

Jim and Jazmin chillin’ on the couch at Ted’s condo. Ava is just out of frame, sawing logs. A lazy Sunday afternoon in Fresno.
OK, Ava after the jump.

Space Shuttle Atlantis lands at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the pre-dawn hours of July 21, 2011. 42 years and one day after Apollo 11’s Eagle landed on the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility, the last shuttle to fly touches down on KSC’s runway 15.
It’s appropriate that this image shows the shuttle touching down in the dark, because the United States now has no manned access to space.

My iPhone 4 gets a new look.
Way overpriced for what it is, but still cool in a Trekkie geek way.

My previous post did something interesting.
After I posted it, but before going to the page, WordPress sent me this little message:
This is your 520th post. Hip! This post has 911 words.
911 words. On 9/11. I doubt I could deliberately do that if I tried!
