Opportunity Zooms In on Martian Bedrock [Scientific American]

The rock looks so much like shale, I keep expecting to see a trilobite fossil! They haven't found any yet, but already there have been surprises:

"Embedded in it like blueberries in a muffin are these little spherical grains," Squyres says. There are two possible explanations for their formation, he notes. They could have formed out of molten rock that was thrown into the atmosphere by an extreme event such as a volcano or an impact with a meteorite. Alternatively, they could be concretions of minerals that came out of solution as water moved through the rock.

Wild!

Reposts of Boingboing stuff.

My right hand is still unhappy. Can't do too much on the computer before it starts tingling and worse.

Sorry. Anybody got a 'script for celebrex or sumthin'?

Win a Fluke ukulele. Boing Boing gets only 30,000 visitors a day. My other blog, Ukulelia.com pulls in a whopping 175 visitors a day. If you don't own a uke, you're missing out on a whole mess o' fun. But here's your chance to enter a drawing for a free ukulele. It's a Fluke ukulele, and it's a great instrument. I reviewed the Fluke for Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools. Link [Boing Boing Blog]

Sorry for the lack of pictures today and the near-total lack of blog yesterday.

Between a hardware problem and an RSI'd to near-death right hand, I just haven't been able to do much.

Mousing from the left, hand that is,

David E's Fablog nails Bu$h down:

"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind." -Pres. Bush on NBC's 'Meet The Press'
Unquestionably these are the most frightening words in the entire interview.

It sends chills up and down my back.
