It was taken by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_rover">Mars Exploration Rover Spirit</a> one hour before sunrise on the 63rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission. (March 8, 2004)</p> <p>The image is actually a mosaic of photos taken by the rover’s navigation camera showing a broad view of the sky and an image taken by the rover’s panoramic camera of Earth. The contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth easier to see. The inset shows a combination of four panoramic camera images zoomed in on Earth. The arrow points to Earth. Earth was too faint to be detected in images taken with the panoramic camera’s color filters.</p> <p>Photo Credit: © NASA/JPL/Cornell/Texas A&M</p> <p>[from: <a href="http://liquidnight.tumblr.com/post/834988583/this-black-and-white-image-is-the-first-photo">liquidnight</a> via <a href="http://accidentalmysteries.blogspot.com/2010/05/so-you-think-youre-important.html">Accidental Mysteries</a>]</p> </blockquote>http://graystephen.com/post/836645312http://graystephen.com/post/836645312Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:07:16 -0500 More soon enough, not feeling wordy at the moment.http://graystephen.com/post/829824434http://graystephen.com/post/829824434Sun, 18 Jul 2010 20:00:51 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5ib6wy7d11qa7tqto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://crashinglybeautiful.tumblr.com/post/812761437/rock-fans-outraged-as-bob-dylan-goes-electronica">crashinglybeautiful</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><a href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/rock-fans-outraged-as-bob-dylan-goes-electronica,17699/">Rock Fans Outraged As Bob Dylan Goes Electronica</a></strong></p> <p>“We came here to see the authentic Dylan, the one with the Stratocaster guitar and signature wild blues-rock band behind him,” audience member Robert Hochschild said. <strong>“Then he walks out with these puffy headphones, some turntables, and a laptop? The guy’s a Judas.”</strong> When asked later about his musical transformation by reporters, Dylan said he had nothing to say about the beats he programs, he just programs them.<strong><br/></strong></p> <p><span> </span></p> <p>Funny enough, people said the exact same thing when he first went onstage with an electric guitar. (He was allegedly booed and ridiculed for going electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, although many maintain that the booing was because of the crappy sound system. Regardless, he was booed at other venues and was, famously, called “Judas” at a concert in Manchester, England. see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Dylan_controversy">Electric Dylan controversy</a>)</p> <p>(Awesome.
