"My own long-term goal is to publish at least 1,000,000 photographs before I die." Good long term goal. My husband is a subway photographer and has nearly 18,000 photos of trains only on his website as accumulated over the last few years. I wonder if he'll get even close to 100k! - Tamar Weinberg

Thanks to this thread, I took out my Canon Powershot S1 manual (three years old) and figured out how to 1) Take pictures in sepia, 2) Successfuly work the delay time to take a photo of myself and 3) Use the successive photo feature. I used the last on my cat, but I couldn't get him to move, so not worthwhile to see. I look forward to trying a few different things a month and seeing what happens. Thanks for starting this thread! - Daniel Cornwall

About open access I’m teeming with a lot o’ news,/ With many cheerful facts about repositories’ underuse./ I’m very good at research, even methods that your mom eschews;/ I know the proper spelling for the Chinese in your new tattoos:/ In short, in matters helpful, peer-reviewed, and contrarian, /I am the very model of a modern-day librarian. - Kirsten

"“Luckily for us, social media is the great equalizer,” says Deanna Lee, Vice President for Communications and Marketing. “Don’t Close the Book on Libraries” is the title of the advocacy campaign “aimed towards getting restorations from the City Council and Mayor from the current proposed City budget cut”. Visitors first arriving at the main NYPL site will see a 'homepage hijack'." - tom murphy from Bookmarklet

I biked to the library last night (again). But my work commute is 30 km, so I'm not biking to work unless I move first. - DJF

"Image of the solar transit of the International Space Station (ISS) and Space Shuttle Atlantis 50 minutes before docking, taken from the area of Madrid (Spain) on May 16th 2010 at 13h 28min 55s UT. Atlantis has just begun the "R-bar pitch maneuver": the shuttle performs a backflip that exposes its heat-shield to the crew of the ISS that makes photographs of it; since its approach trajectory is between the ISS and the Earth, this means that we are seeing Atlantis essentially from above, with the payload bay door opened. Transit duration: 0.54s. Transit band width on Earth: 4.8 km. ISS distance to observer: 391 km. Speed: 7.4km/s." - Mark H from Bookmarklet

Thank you, Bunneh! - Mary Carmen

That was so nice of you. - Daniel Cornwall

"If we assume that the inner boundary of the habitable zone (HZ) of the Sun is at 0.95 AU (Kasting et al. 1993), and its outer boundary is at a distance between 1.37 AU and 2.4 AU, depending on the chosen atmospheric circulation model (Forget & Pierrehumbert 1997; Mischna et al. 2000), then by direct comparison, the inner boundary of the HZ of HIP 57050 would be at a distance of 0.115 AU, and its outer boundary would be between 0.163 AU and 0.293 AU. From Table 3, the perihelion and aphelion distances of HIP 57050 b are at 0.112 AU and 0.215 AU respectively, suggesting that this planet spends the majority of its orbital motion in the HZ of its host star." - Mark H from Bookmarklet

"For the past several weeks, astronomer Suleiman Baraka has been touring the Gaza Strip with his telescope to allow as many individuals as possible to enjoy a few moments looking up into the heavens. His first stop was with the schoolmates of his late son, Ibrahim." - Mark H from Bookmarklet

"Baraka, 46, hails from the southern Gaza Strip and holds a doctorate in astrophysics from an Australian university. In 2007, he spent a year doing research at the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States. In January 2009, he returned to Gaza after Ibrahim, aged 11, was killed in an Israeli air strike that hit his home in the town of Bani Suhaila. Baraka now lives at his brother's home in Bani Suhaila along with his own four-member family. " - Mark H

""The killing of my son inspired in me a message of peace, a message that I decided to convey to his killers," Baraka said. "I gathered Ibrahim's fellow students and started teaching them how to be inspired to be scientists. I didn't teach them sources of horror or terror," Baraka recalled. "Rather, I wanted to send out a message that the sky, from which my son was killed, is a beautiful sky that has beautiful things to look at."" - Mark H

Not just like; love. - laura x

Ahniwa, that's excellent. - Don't feed the Steve

In the shadow of Saturn, unexpected wonders appear. The robotic Cassini spacecraft http://www.esa.int/esaMI... now orbiting Saturn recently drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12 hours and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod.... Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the night side of Saturn http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod... is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet
