Best of astronomy
What a wonderful post: Bad Astronomy comes out with his Top Ten Astronomy images of 2006, complete with stories. I had completely missed the “Painting the Eclipse” photo, and am so glad Phil Plait has not. Wonderful.
We have robots on Mars! Humans are so smart.

Adobe CS3 beta
If you’re interested in trying out the beta of Adobe’s CS3, download the trial version and generate a CS3 key from a CS2 serial number.
I haven’t had time other than download the product on my Mac and open it and the new Bridge up to see if there are any obvious differences. After the new year, when I’m finished with Adding Ajax, I can dig into it, and all the other 450 projects I’ve pushed off until the book is finished.
One year ago, a billion gallons of water poured down a mountain, scraped away the dirt, the trees, the rocks, and any living thing in a flood of mud and debris. It landed at the entrance to Johnson’s Shut-Ins, slammed into the hill on one end of the park, swirled around taking away every last bit of the Ranger’s house, including the ranger, his wife, and their three small children.
A pickup and a large truck on the road suddenly found themselves adrift in the early morning darkness, as water shoved them into the field across from the Shut-Ins. A dump truck managed to stay grounded.
The water poured past and through the Shut-Ins–ripping away the campgrounds, pouring over the endangered fens, splashing against the hills on either side; dumping five feet of mud and boulders the size of cars in its path.
The residents of Lesterville waited, anxiously, to see if the lower reservoir held. It did.
If this had happened in the summer…
If the reservoir had not held…
