But his "spirit" lives on
NASA Concludes Attempts to Contact Mars Rover Spirit
PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA is ending attempts to regain contact with the long-lived Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, which last communicated on March 22, 2010.
A transmission that will end on Wednesday, May 25, will be the last in a series of attempts. Extensive communications activities during the past 10 months also have explored the possibility that Spirit might reawaken as the solar energy available to it increased after a stressful Martian winter without much sunlight. With inadequate energy to run its survival heaters, the rover likely experienced colder internal temperatures last year than in any of its prior six years on Mars. Many critical components and connections would have been susceptible to damage from the cold. read more @ NASA

Um.. please yes!
The cost of the hardware to run your computing electronics has always been pretty cheap, you mostly are paying for the software. The bummer is, as software advances, your hard ware, 'cept for the occasional GPU upgrade, is what it is. Enter Google Chrombooks.. yeah baby! This is pretty significant for schools btw. Check it out..

Monday... nah, lemme just remember..
Had a blast last week backpacking around Navajo Mountain, and got to break in this cool app, Trip Journal doing it. Just click on the map below to zoom in and out then see some pics and vids that I took along the way. Oh, and set the map to Terrain to get some prespective...

Hi, Mom
I come from good people, both my parents are hard working, dedicated, and loving people. As long as i can remember they have been involved in the community, active and vibrant. Obviously this is all mom's fault, and pretty sure dad wouldn't argue that.She is such a peacemaker, a lover of family and gatherings, and music, always music. And I have never meet a harder worker, always striving to make things better for those around her. One of my fondest memories is of her bulletin board calenders, changing like clock work every month, the days shaped like the corresponding months holiday/theme shape. My favorite were the October pumpkins. She raised five boys, each of them unique, each of them requiring something different, each of them getting that. Most say to me, "oh, your poor mother, having five boys!" I just smile and say, "Nah, five helpers around the house." Man she put us to work, never letting there be much idle time, unless it was together time. She cannot swear. I'ts hilarious actually, when she says "poop" its like the filthiest word she has ever uttered, and pains her to say. She is a caregiver, I watched her bathe her grandmother, haul us to the care center to visit her grandfather and always, always remember people on their birthdays. She taught us the gospel, and not the "preach it from the corner" gospel. The, quiet acts of service, the time spent making a lesson better with a homemade visual aid, and her unwavering testimony that she knows God lives and that we all are wort it. I love you Mom. Maybe we could record some stuff, like these guys did.
