Putting each drawer in took care­ful aim.

Task com­plete. What a great job.

Craig was an amaz­ingly hard worker while help­ing us move. I think the rewards of going to the cafe for crepes and cof­fee was part of the moti­va­tion to get things done. Still, we had fun mov­ing this piece of fur­ni­ture and he put in each drawer by him­self. He was very pleased when he com­pleted the task. And helped me hang the George Nel­son clock too; mak­ing sure it was straight.

We could still use some of his help.
Maybe I’ll give him a call.

saturn rings picture

August 11, 2009—A mys­tery object that punched through one of Sat­urn’s thin outer rings cre­ated a glit­ter­ing spray of ice crys­tals and pulled some mate­r­ial along in its wake, as seen in this rare image recently released by NASA’s Cassini orbiter.

It’s believed that the object is a moon­let. yes a lit­tle moon. There are some 60 moon­lets around Sat­urn. Ok so this is what hap­pens to make Sat­urn disappear:

“When­ever equinox occurs on Sat­urn, sun­light will hit Saturn’s thin rings, the ring plane, edge-on,” said Spilker.“The light reflect­ing off this extremely nar­row band is so small that for all intents and pur­poses the rings sim­ply vanish.”

Saturn’s rings are 200,000 miles wide, but amaz­ingly are only about 30 feet thick.

iPhone app planning : wish list

AppleiPhone

Ok, I don’t have an iPhone yet. Basi­cally because I wasn’t will­ing to be an early adopter this time. Now I’m more inter­ested. Video capa­bil­i­ties and the addi­tion of inter­fac­ing with third party devices is very com­pelling. My almost dead Razr is another.

I have a love/hate rela­tion­ship with my Razr. I love that it is a flip phone. I hate that my con­tacts have a dif­fer­ent entry for each num­ber rather than grouped by per­son. I love that my phone is small and sturdy. I hate that I can’t read the keys in the bright sun. I love that my phone can take being dropped. I hate that I have to lis­ten to a whole mes­sage before I can delete it. I hate that tex­ting is impossible.

I love that it has the Motorolla logo — the bat sig­nal on it. And most of all I love that Jack the Cin­gu­lar logo is still on my phone. I hate ATT.

So, I’m sure I will have the same rela­tion­ship with my iPhone. I’ll love my iPhone but I will still hate ATT.

But, I’ll have lots of apps that I can’t wait to get my hands on.
Koi Pond, Bloom, Spore, Level, Com­pass, Pan­dora, iTunes, Tweetie, Bloom, Shazamm …

That’s a start.

Any­thing I’m missing?
