I found this fascinating. I'd heard of most of these things before but not really how some of them worked. Good reference for writing or roleplaying things involving historical ocean travel.

Just a very short video of leaves falling that I took while walking recently.

To celebrate, here's a catchy little Shakespearean Insults song by Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers (from YouTube) called "Undigested Lump".

I think this is pretty dang awesome. Of course, I've always liked acapella music and I'm tipping towards being a little obsessed with the new Star Wars movie, so this is my catnip right here.

This group has taken some of the audio from the first Moon landing and made what I consider to be a darn catchy song, as well as a pretty darn nifty tribute.

So a little probe flew past Pluto yesterday and is sending back data and pictures of a cute pinkish planet (which conveniently was passed at an angle that made some geographic features look a bit like a giant cartoon heart) that, even if it's not officially a planet anymore is still like the Ambassador of the Kuiper Belt or even the Solar System's adorable kid-planet sidekick or mascot *handwave*.

Why, what does it all mean, what's it good for and what happens next? Here is a one on one interview YouTube channel SciShow did yesterday with one of the New Horizons mission scientists while they were waiting for the signal to come back to give a more detailed idea.

and if scientific detail given by a scientist who's really excited to be doing his job isn't your thing, there's also this parody acapella cover of Uptown Funk about the New Horizons mission which has some info about the probe itself, presented with a catchy pop tune.
