New albums (old pix).

I had lots of grown-up fun tonight. Worked late, paid bills, ate a delicious pork and leftovers dinner cooked by Daniel, did the dishes, and blogged.

So there's two new albums of pics up. Click images on the left (you'll see the little tanks turn green) and check out the long overdue pix from Jonathan and Kristine's wedding, as well as the pics that my dad gave me along with his old digital camera that he doesn't want any more. My dad's pix were taken at Auntie D's house a couple months ago.

New Years is changing. Each year I get more "happy new years" text messages, and I don't know when this started, but it's now completely un-hip to say "Chinese new year." You simply say "new year" and people will just know whether it's lunar or solar based on the time of year.

Astronomy pic of the day.
Fri May 05 2006

LK told me that our Jupiter pic was the astronomy pic of the day. I found a few more links too. But now it's after midnight so we're not the astronomy pic of the day any more. Oh well. Next time. I wonder if it's tacky to count your links like this. I think it's understandable though; this doesn't happen to me very often.

It's actually a bit embarrassing, because this was supposed to be a 3-color picture. It's partly my fault that we only got two colors (502 nm / cyan, and 892 nm / infrared). But the Space Telescope people and I tweaked it enough that the 2-color image looks as good as a 3-color image. So all was not lost.
