Celebrate good times!

Hey, this is post #100! And with that, let's me take this as an opportunity to celebrate one of the greatest men this planet has seen. (No, not me, but thanks for the thought! :) )

There is a call to make March be Carl Sagan Month. That man knew how to tell a story, a story of a wee planet in the backwaters of the universe, and make you care. He promoted science all his life, always open to the possibilities, but not so open as to let any old crud get in. He was a wonderful scientist, and a wonderfuller man.

At the moment, I'm waiting for my copy of The Varieties of Scientific Experience to turn up, but until then, enjoy this visual recitation of one of Carl Sagan's works:



(Come back, Carl. We miss you...)
