Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Julian, age 7, heard that the Spirit Mars rover was stuck, and offered his idea to fix it. Turns out that's a pretty good idea and one that JPL folks are already considering.

The rover drivers were so pleased by Julian's suggestion that they're going to send him a reward.

Coding and Sleeping

Tonight: No plans. Hopefully some writing. Maybe a very short bout of Oblivion to bask in the glory of the new monitor.

Saturday: Mow lawn. Cleaning. Maybe scrap and paint part of spaceship. Hopefully some writing.

Sunday: Birthday celebration at parent's house. Cleaning. Maybe some writing.

Not very exciting. Outside chance of going to Terminator Salvation with BIL, but I think that will probably be next weekend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn, that is awesome. I hope that kid goes far in life.

That is possibly too much awesome in one paragraph. I hope they do it and that it works so that Julian will have bragging rights for approximately EVER.

Because books.

Hey, easy moving~ma, Jen! Send me your new address, huh?

And happy belated birthday, Gud!

Thanks, Amy. So far, very smooth. And I will do.

Belated Happy Birthdays, Sean and Gud!

Your very own bat signal puts the Dark Knight at your beck and call

Who do you call when your workload gets overwhelming? When the sun sets on justice and your boss asks you to work over the weekend? When your coworker just won't stop annoying you? If you're really desperate, Batman. I guess.

This mini replica bat signal will put a wee call out to Batman in your hour of need. Well, I mean, he probably won't see it when it's just shining in your cubicle. And if he did, he'd probably be annoyed if he showed up and just had your petty issues to deal with. But still, it's the bat signal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck w/the move, Jen! Are you excited about the new place?

Tomorrow I'm going to a favorite museum on a free thing organized by my grad school, so that will be fun!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Barbecue, yard sale, Bookcrossing meeting possibilities on Saturday. But I have an actual Flash volunteer opportunity, so I've got to dig back into that!
