zOMG! That was awesome!

"Damn you all to Hell!"

This is my photo of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter for sale at the gift shop in Ford's Theater in 2012. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Look at Good to Great by Jim Collins. He compares and contrasts companies that overperform in their markets to equivalent companies that underperform. There are some interesting lessons in the book that apply to just about any organization.

When I teach Trigonometry and College Algebra, I like to show students what life was like before graphing calculators. I briefly show them how to use trigonometric tables and tables of logarithms. I have the fourth edition, with the bright yellow cover. I've only managed to interest two students enough to buy their…

Many years ago, Lucy Lawless said that if Renee O'Connor was taller, she would have been Xena.

Skye on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She was pretty lame last season, but I suspect she is about to get really badass on tomorrow's episode.

Fox still has the rights to Apocalypse, so you probably won't see this cross-over on film. You will get X-Men: Apocalypse in 2016 and Thor: Ragnorok in 2017, however.

Decoding the Enigma Cypher at Bletchley Park. I would love to have watched Alan Turing work and witness one of the key moments of the birth of computer science.

I would have picked the Trinity Nuclear Test, as Feynman, Von Neumann, Oppenheimer, and Fermi were all there. However, all of them died of cancer and I don't…

On the 40th anniversary of the March on Washington, one audience member remarked that at the time he thought Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream Speech" was nice, but unremarkable.

I also wanted the newest Trek movie to retcon out the new timeline. I was hoping Q and Picard would be the ones to do it, but I could settle for the Vulcans.

My favorite chapter from the Harry Potter series is "Christmas on the Closed Ward" where Neville visits his mother on Christmas. It gets me every time.

Sorry. Wrong post.

I'm with you. I watched and enjoyed season 4, but the season 5 premier was too much for me.

I watched The Walking Dead on iTunes last season. The key is to stay off social media and IO9 until you get caught up.

Well, where I live, Kentucky would be the heroes, not the villains.

I guess I didn't miss the results after all.

Mark,

Charles Dance apparently falls asleep in showers so regularly that he believes waking up in them is not insane?

I took a photo for this contest. Unfortunately, I had a stomach virus Sunday night and I didn't get to submit it on time. This is an uncropped image of the Moon shot through my telescope with a Canon EF adapter. Using a 2x barlow, it is the equivalent of a 1300 mm lens at f/8.0. I shot it at 1/1000 sec to keep the…
