It’s a Rare Lunar Eclipse Tonight, it’s a Tetrad

Oct 8 2014

Today is a very rare lunar eclipse, and moreover, today was part of a ‘tetrad‘ – 4 eclipses occurring in a short span of time.

Today is the 2nd eclipse of 4, that will happen over 2 years.

Hundreds of years can pass without a tetrad occurring. Curiously, the next will happen 20 years from now.

We’re living in a peculiar time, there’s a massive, subtle shift happening… includes the internet renaissance, globalization, the soon-arrival of thought-controlled computing….

The World Starts Up Again Today

Jan 6 2014

Everyone’s back to work, school, normal.

I milked the holidays right to the end: jogging pants and quiet; mainlining garbage TV online; too much food and drink; long drives for no reason except I like driving. More of this.

A New Year Planetary Update – we kicked off 2014 with a new moon on the 1st, then on January 3rd there was a meteor shower, the Quadrantids – 1 of the 3 richest showers of the year.

Below are a few photos, but there’s not much to report so far this year. So far. This is going to be a big year, I can tell… I’m about to get a big dose of ‘careful what you wish for’. Can’t wait.

Here’s to a strong start to your new year!

One of the last photos of my ponytail. Ponywhisp.

Started to use Facebook more, friend me.

I pick up a minivan today.

I went to 3 different places, they all looked like this.

It’s probably because of this blog tag – jogging pants.

BFF hang.

Ahh Casie xo

We built our blogs together. Are you following her? You ought to – CasieStewart.com

Got my file structure in order for the near year. It included this annual blog event, ‘Make a new Picasa Photo Folder Using the New Year’.

Seems meaningless, but as a professional documenter, it was, a moment.

Now to do this.

My Mind is Mega-Melted

Aug 12 2013

Look how haggard.

Taken as I got caught just standing there, squeezing that stuffed animal starting deeply into the dollar bins, unable to make a decision. You should see how clumsy I am.

My mind is mush, my sentences aren’t elegant, my math skills are gone.

I wandered out of an airport store like that, down the hall, oh wait, returned, “hi I accidentally stole this magazine”.

Still haven’t recovered from Vegas, then a couple surprise days on the road, and juggling 2 jobs and may have added a third one last week. I haven’t stopped in forever, think it all finally caught up to me. I just need two good nights sleeps to reset.

Here’s my Autonet.ca news articles, if you ever.

Least my hair is looking great. Here’s Niki and I at work on “Illusion Head”, which is almost ready for video debut.

Thanks, Brennen.

This Thursday is a big day, then wait till you see the adventure were off on for a third of September; that’s now at 99.5% confirmed.

There was a meteor shower this weekend guys, the Perseids Meteor Shower – pieces of the comet Swift-Tuttle fall off; happens every year at this time; named for Greek mythical hero Perseus, who slayed Medusa.

Here’s the Wiki.

And did you hear about the bright green fireball that passed over Toronto last week? Nice.

(if we’re just meeting; for all my love of logic, I track the planets closer than most. Here’s the blog category)

Escaped the city for a few days.

Did you know Toronto passed Chicago in size a few months back? It’s now the 4th largest city in North America.

Wrote all day for the paper today, that’s good till Wednesday, so gotta try to get some time in on this project.

Didnt mention anything yet, but that’s been being built over the last couple months. Launch is scheduled for the fall.

Now to eat this feast.

Kay quiet time, just for a sec. TTY Thursday

I’ll close this post with a less-melted photo of me, which I’m starting to resemeble again; I’m puffing back out slowly here. I am SO excited about everything, it’s all coming together guys. Thanks for always checking in xo

Big Planetary Alignment Tonight

Jun 5 2013

It’s a rare occasion that the planets line up, and tonight, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury will.

To see them: 30 minutes after sunset, face west, look first for Venus, as it’ll be the brigthest of the 3. It will last for about 45 minutes.

The next alignment won’t happen until October 2015.

Last year on this day I blogged about the Transit of Venus, which won’t happen again till after you and I are long dead.

For all my love of logic, I’m pretty into the planets. My thinking is that the Egyptians dedicated their entire country to constructing buildings to track such things. Think we’re smarter than them? We’re not.

Did you know the planets lined up with the Pyramids of Giza on December 1 2012?
