Okay, I hadn't realized this, and you probably haven't either, but...


Keith Richard is 65.


Yep, you read right. 65. As in YEARS OLD. I don't know about you, but I'm having a very hard time wrapping my head around that fact. I mean...CHRIST.

This is gonna bounce around in my head for days, I can feel it.

P.S. By the way, it's RICHARD. Not "Richards". There's no "s" at the end. People have been making that mistake forever, it seems.

Honors for Carl

NASA inaugurates the Carl Sagan Fellowship for Exoplanet Research

Carl joins Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble to form a trio of prestigious NASA Fellowship honorees.


How wonderful, and long overdue. He was an extraordinary man who changed our way of viewing the universe and our place in it. If nothing else, he should be remembered for making the connection between the planet Venus and our own, and hammering home the point again and again that if we didn't change our silly childish ways, our lovely world will end up just like our neighbour.

I know I've said it before, and maybe you're tired of hearing it, but...


I miss him. So much, so very, very much.
