I took this photo of my nephew looking at his cousin during his first birthday party. I wanted to share it for a few reasons: Partly just because it’s a nice family photo and I wanted to show them off. But honestly, I don’t do much photography so I was proud I captured that moment. Kids move around constantly, so grabbing that second where they were actually making eye contact was a big win. And it’s the type of photo I think they will grow up and look back on. It’s just one of those images that makes everyone say, ‘aaaaahhhhh’ when they find it and then put it on a mantle somewhere. And eventually no one will remember who took it or when…

This remains my favorite movie poster of all time. Anyone else have a favorite they wanna share?

The Project Apollo Image Gallery

Above is a sampling of photos available at the Project Apollo Image Gallery. It’s a bit of a hassle to navigate, but believe me: it’s worth it. Click on a flight in the top left. You’ll get a list of images with descriptions. Click on one that sounds of interest and you’ll get a small preview at the top of the page. Then click to the right of the preview where it says ‘High-Res’ and the full image will be displayed in a new tab/window.

I was looking through some old photos and I found the one thing I miss about living in an apartment complex in a college town: the occasional thrill of watching people butt heads with the law (through my peephole with my iPhone, no less).

Check out my new Rock Band 3 axe. I can’t make it sing like the guitar yet. But I’m slowly learning.

As you may remember from a previous post, I recently ordered a Fisher Space Pen. (I like owning anything that makes me feel closer to being an astronaut.)
However, I dropped it at work and it broke. The clicking mechanism was shot. I noticed the packaging said it had a lifetime satisfaction guarantee. They provided an address in Nevada to send it to if it needs repair or replacement. So I did just that.
This morning I woke up to a package on my porch with my newly repaired pen and the above note. I must say, I’m very pleased with their prompt service. (Even if it was a bit of a let down to have the pen break only a few days into use.)

If it’s good enough for America’s astronauts, it’s good enough for me. Thanks to http://www.thespaceshop.com/ and the Kennedy Space Center for making this purchase possible  (which also included my NASA logo shirt).
