Stanley Cup Playoffs are more stressful when you can't drink.

Awesome! And here's an article by him regarding Hubble's 25th [link]
That he recognized the importance of the archive means a lot to me. It is actually revolutionary in astronomy. Used to be, and still is, data languishes unavailable after the primary investigator observes it and publishes. It's in a cabinet, on a hard drive, undiscoverable to anyone else unless you know to ask.But our mission created a model to put it out there, in a discoverable form to the whole world, as a comprehensive policy. And then we opened up our hosting services to more than Hubble. Mostly space missions, but when resources are provided, we've taken on other data.
I'm glad to be a part of that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a really big thing, sarameg. My inner History of Science student is in awe.

Jesse, did you have the same for the next ep, Invisible Universe? That's a Hubble-centric one. People, remind me! (Also, look up when we're having Events so I make sure to get in early enough to get parking. Fuck, forgot about that.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was just working on the Math Mystery thing, but still!

That is a seriously cool mission to have.

And we're getting better at it! The ultimate goal is to have it layered such that you can click your way to your skill level, over multiple missions. Right now, still largely aimed for a professional audience, but we're moving towards integrating with the public outreach pretty pictures. [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sarameg, I was just clicking around and don't fully understand how to use it, but damn, that's wonderful.

Crown is now in. My mouth would hurt if it weren't tingling from being numbed. I had novocaine at 4:00PM and my mouth is still almost full numb.
Blargh.
I wish past self took better care of her teeth because present self is pissed about her inability to make dental appointments.
