Nickel back has already gotten way more time than they actually deserve on this blog, but I just couldn’t resist this one. Also, while you’re clicking on stupid Nickelback links you might as well check this one out www.isnickelbacktheworstbandever.com

Martian Skin And Tatoo

This incredible photo of the surface of Mars was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s HiRISE camera. Our very own local astronomer/blogger, Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy, points out that:

The important thing to note here is that the sand in the craters of Mars is actually dark grey in color, since it’s made of basalt. The reason it looks red in pictures is because covering the sand is a thin layer of much finer dust, and the dust is what’s red. When a dust devil moves over the Martian surface, it can pick up the very light dust particles, but not the heavier sand grains. So those blue-grey swirls are tracks where the dust devil has vacuumed up the dust, revealing the darker sand underneath. If you look carefully in the tracks, you can see the sand dune ripples are undisturbed. Only the dust is gone.

I think it is also important to note that by clicking the photo above, you can view a much larger version that shows the martian sand dunes and dust devil tracks in detail.

I’m About To Whip Somebody’s Ass

As far as I now, this song comes from a man named Ray. Ray has a daughter who was stressed out about her job. So he wrote this song to cheer up his daughter and for the benefit of “all employees under stress”. Ray has shared it on the internet and I’m sharing it with you.

A bunch of Ze Frank minions have created a ton of remixes of the song to pay Ray back for the happiness he brought.

“Now you might not be able to sing that out loud, but you can hum it to yourself, and you know what the words are, and let it give you some strength to get through the next few moments on your job.”

The fourth annual Denver Zombie Crawl will be on the Saturday, October 24th. It has changed a lot (for the better) since I first reported on it back in 2006. This year there will be zombie make-up classes, costume contests, cool glow-in-the-dark posters, live music from Windows Bane, a world record attempt (4,000 zombies), and charity. Details can be found here.

Piper wants to play a game. This game doesn’t have a name but a it does have a set of stringent rules. The rules go something like this: You have to take a photo of yourself as soon as you see you’ve been tagged. You’re not allowed prepare, primp, or edit! You must post the photo immediately.

I’ve never been one to break the rules so here you go – one unedited photo shot via the ole’ webcam.

Youch. That makes two self portraits in one week. Hopefully you have all had enough of me by now. I know I have. Now to tag others for this:
