Our favorite grade-schooler and tiger have been absent too long from these pages, something we’re rectifying today:

Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station  This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA Read More Planned books:None Current books:

SJS, your graphics and images are all squished on the main page but when I view individual posts they return to correct width.
Code is poetry….
Disregard my last. Must have had my hat on too tight. Now they’re correct but I swear they weren’t earlier.
Steve: No, you’re not going nuts (yet). I’ve found if you’re viewing in MS IE 6 or later they tend to do that until the page finishes loading. Firefox doesn’t (insert editorial comment about Micro$oft here)…

My 9-year old son has every Calvin book and we hear about it all the time.
I, of course, can’t stop laughing just looking at Calvin…
SJS, my favorite snow CH is the one where Calvin built the snowmen in front of his dads car like they are being run over. the parents in the house thinking about contacting a psychiatrist.
Sad day when Watterson stopped the strip (same with farside), sadder how nuts he’s getting nowadays.
Claudio: Found & posted per your wish …
