I want to be an astronaut.

Houston at night in March, as seen from space. Beautiful and ridiculous.. 60 miles across. Isn't it eerie how you can point out every highway? I10, 610, the beltway, 290...

This site posts new images each months taken from space.

fear and lothing:

...of birds.

I hate birds with a burning, fiery hate, yet these photos by Richard Barnes are incredible.

Being there to take these would be my living hell, but the series "Murmur" is so majestic.

stumbled across this, and now i'm enchanted/disturbed/interested.

this list of the things they found is crazy:

"baby carriages, a doll carriage, rusted bicycles, old food, potato peelers, a collection of guns, glass chandeliers, bowling balls, camera equipment, the folding top of a horse-drawn carriage, a sawhorse, three dressmaking dummies, painted portraits, pinup girl photos, plaster busts, Mrs. Collyer's hope chests, rusty bed springs, the kerosene stove, a child's chair (the brothers were lifelong bachelors and childless), more than 25,000 books (including thousands about medicine and engineering and more than 2,500 on law), human organs pickled in jars, eight live cats, the chassis of the old Model T Langley had been tinkering with, tapestries, hundreds of yards of unused silks and fabric, clocks, fourteen pianos (both grand and upright), a clavichord, two organs, banjos, violins, bugles, accordions, a gramophone and records, and countless bundles of newspapers and magazines, some of them decades old"

the way they died is so ironic, too.. worth reading the wikipedia article.
