Moebius and Miyazaki — A short video courtesy of art writing guru James Gurney.

Stop and get your free fag bag — A WWII poster illustrating, among other things, language change.

A Galilean Night — Very nice image from APOD.

Naming the exoplanets — An interesting problem.

Cancer scans are done with. Oncologist appointment is Monday afternoon.

I shall be eschewing further banana-related disasters.

See some, all or none of you there.
