Hope everyone had a great Halloween! I got a great Halloween surprise, I got an up-close-and-personal encounter with a Great Horned Owl.
I volunteer for the American Wildlife Refuge, a non-profit organization that rehabilitates and refuges injured raptors. A raptor, in case you don't know is a bird of prey that kills its food with it's feet, like an eagle, hawk or owl. I'm licensed to handle and temporarily possess raptors. I discover raptor rehab in college, and I've pursued it ever since.

The bottom line: downloading music wasn't screwing the artists. It was screwing the recording industry by creating a direct relationship between the musicians and the fans.
Now, Radiohead and other bands are tipping the scales a little more. They are bypassing the greedy record companies and offering their music directly to fans from their web site. Radiohead is offering their new album "In Rainbows" for whatever price you want to pay. Type in your email address and the amount, and off you go.
Hubble keeps on sending us ever more incredible views of our universe. This image is of NGC 3603 - a nebula of brilliant blue-white stars in the Milky Way. The blue color is from the oxygen content of the stars as they burn. The red color is the gas and dust in the nebula that the stars are formed from. The radiation from the stars makes the gas glow red. Note the red giant in the upper left-hand corner.
Asus - my favorite motherboard manufacturer - is coming out with bamboo laptops this summer!
