These guys are great. The New Zealand Kakapo is a large, tubby, flightless parrot, and only about 100 of them are left in the wild.

The Earth receives about one-half of one billionth of the Sun’s total output of energy.
Thank you inverse square law.

I think I probably spend too much alone. But I have the rest of my life to be social and have tons of friends and go out at night.

I’ve been stealing candy all week from Aimee’s room. But her grandma sends her copious amounts of food every month. So it’s really alright. The housing people sent out an email about how like half of the water pipes to Chamberlin burst, and that we probably should avoid drinking the water until they fix the problem. Its day number 3.
I look very reflective today.

Blue Marble Earth from Suomi NPP
Image Credit: NASA/NOAA/GSFC/Suomi NPP/VIIRS/Norman KuringExplanation: Behold one of the more detailed images of the Earth yet created. This Blue Marble Earth montage shown above — created from photographs taken by the Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board the new Suomi NPP satellite — shows many stunning details of our home planet. The Suomi NPP satellite was launched last October and renamed last week after Verner Suomi, commonly deemed the father of satellite meteorology. The composite was created from the data collected during four orbits of the robotic satellite taken earlier this month and digitally projected onto the globe. Many features of North America and the Western Hemisphere are particularly visible on a high resolution version of the image. Previously, several other Blue Marble Earth images have been created, some at even higher resolution.
