A slender crescent moon, just 15 percent illuminated, will appear in very close proximity to the two brightest planets in our sky, Venus and Jupiter. Via Venus, Jupiter will ‘shine’ Monday night – Space.com- msnbc.com I noticed two bright “stars” on my way home the other night near the Moon; this must be Jupiter and Venus, setting up for Monday’s big show.

These look like good places to try on our next visit to London. Clamorous pub patios line the streets of London in summer, luring those who like a side order of sunburn with their al-fresco beer. But the city’s best taverns arguably come into their own in winter, when cozy quaffers hunker over dark ales before crackling fireplaces as tempests whip at the windows outside.

See if you can make any sense of it; all I know is I can post to my blog from my iPhone, Flickr, Scribefire (I’m still using 3.1.3), and probably ecto/Linear again.

It’s just not a traditional Thanksgiving here unless I have to drop everything in the middle of making a batch of onion dill bread and send David out to get a critical ingredient. 4 years ago, it was yeast: Phew, had un petit crise earlier today when I started to make the onion dill bread – I had purchased cake yeast (that is, it’s pressed into a cake and has to be refrigerated, not that it’s just for making cakes). And when I opened the wrapper, there were three or four different kinds of fungus on it. At the time,…

Tom the Dancing Bug has a great cartoon behind Salon’s adwall, well worth clicking through to see after waiting for the ad to load. Language geeks will enjoy the Mayan in-jokes and economics geeks will enjoy the pretty colors of teh secksy Mayans and their silly claims that their civilization and its blood-sacrifice based economy would endure until the end of time.
