Mars Curiosity landing looks ambitious. but they said they tested all the parts.

here’s the rover with people around it for size comparison.

imagine seeing other planets from the same distance as the moon is to the Earth.

and here’s a different view.

here’s an interesting perspective on the past. it’s made with a tool called ThinkBack which uses the ThinkUp API. the latter gives you a statistical view of your twitterverse. you can see replies, retweets and conversations. it also pulls how much you tweet where and what tool you did it from. you can see some trends over time. like when I’m watching Doctor Who, making football picks with the COIN and the beer I am enjoying.

check out my past transmissions here.

the roboto thought you should know.
here’s a link to something related.
it’s funny.

wow.

here’s the story. here’s the source.

okay that was two days ago. it’s funny how the social makes the day that much more. more what? well, special! before the social nobody remembered anyone’s bday unless the office busy body brought it up. but she brought it up with for everyone. there was no escaping the song as long as she was around. and you might get a card from a grand parent that contained a buck or maybe five. but I’m all out of those these days. when was the last time you got a birthday card that wasn’t from everyone at the office?

yesterday that thing was blowing up with TXTs, voice and twitters about me making it one more time around the sun. thank you everyone for making the day that much more! a very special shout out goes to Elizabeth Street Brewing for throwing the Super Bowl party where I heard the song and got lots more HBD wishes. it was a super fun time and I can’t thank Richard and Allison enough.

missing from the list is the twitters. sorry about that the twitter readers. maybe this year I will get a more unified message viewer. oh, but then it will blur. I can’t wait. here you all are. thanks my friends!
