It finally happened! Somebody found my blog by searching for “how to clean moss off of a sidewalk.”

I just added a link at the top of this page to photos of Sam on Shutterfly. I’ve only managed to upload her pictures through September or so. That’s when I switched to Picasa, and I haven’t quite figured out yet how I’ll share those in an organized way.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to the fastest and easiest way to manage and share photos?
As you can see, I’ve updated the design of this site using a theme I’m already starting to really love, called Tarski. It is simple, clean, and flexible. I haven’t had to modify any code yet, and I’m hoping I’ll never have to. Also, I’m looking foward to creating a banner using a cool graphics program I found called Gimp (via simplyamusingblog via Scribbit). I’ll be tweaking the design over the coming weeks, so please let me know if you find any bugs. Enjoy!
Speaking of private space exploration, a friend of mine worked on a satellite that is going up on a SpaceX rocket on Saturday, barring the usual possible delays. I don’t know anything about SpaceX except what I see on their web site, but it looks like they are one of the companies doing what NASA used to do: developing and launching new rockets and spacecraft.
You can watch a Webcast of the launch at http://www.spacex.com/. Right now the launch is scheduled for Saturday, August 2, between 4-8pm Pacific Time.
I couldn’t resist watching a previous launch. At about 4:20 into this video, you begin to see a sliver of black space beyond the earth that otherwise fills the screen. It made me realize how much I love Samantha’s current favorite word: “up.”
