A super-blue-blood-moon? The name itself is awesome, as if Clark Kent was descended from a line of monarchs. Too bad I won't be able to see it, but maybe Mickey Blake could (if she was still jetlagged by then).

I want to call out this review not so much for the gear being reviewed, but for exemplary explanation skills. Not just about the intricacies of the gear and the conditions of the shots and the availability of the raw files, but also for the details of how the shots were taken, up to and including "took eight shots to get the light right." Excellent job, Lance Kaimig!

Just saw this in David Brin's science roundup: a good candidate for a molecule that kickstarted life. Awesome!

Table-flip of the day:
Table-flip of the day: I want to maintain a small website, just a couple of static pages and a form. I ask a friend what would be best, he goes "Jekyll" and looking at it, it looks like a reasonable solution. Alright, let's install it. Requires: Ruby 2.2.5 and RubyGems. Well, foo, Mac OS X Sierra only has 2.0.0. I guess I'll go and install a newer version. How to install Ruby: Either use a third-party tool or compile from sources. Not wanting to dive too deeply into more installations, I try compiling. Works pretty well (I do like configure.in), except it cannot compile the gdbm and openssl extensions. This makes the tests fail. So what's with OpenSSL? Turns out Mac has OpenSSL 0.9.8 but Ruby wants at least 1.0. How do I fix this? All the threads I see about it talk about using RVM, so let's give that a change. How to install RVM: \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable ARE YOU FRIGGING INSANE? You want me to just download and execute something that mi...

Spooky clouds from last fall. They kept lighting up in ways that suggested weird glowing monsters.

I did not realize that "ingredient" products like flour are exempt from the usual requirements of listing nutritional information - and indeed almost all producers provide this information on the packaging. Except, it turns out, #Sonnentor, which thought it was more important to have a blurb about their company ethics in two languages than information of whether the product is good for you. I'm quite disappointed.
Fascinating new theory (hypothesis, really) on how life started on Earth. Though I'm a bit surprised that previous research seemingly didn't take the available chemicals into account, that seems like a fairly basic piece.
