I was impressed with how flawless Sunday's EDL operation went with Curiosity.  I must admit I was very engaged and sitting on the edge of my seat hoping that it would go smoothly.  And it did!  A big hats off to the JPL crew.  They did their homework, and it paid off.   Now let us hope that Curiosity discovers some interesting things and paves the way for more missions and funding into exploration.

I have been following this story for a while now, but didn't really know what to think.   I still don't know quite what to think, but figured I would write about it.

This originally was discovered in 2009 I believe, but came to light in the summer of 2011.   Since then exploration teams have been trying to investigate this object, but the harsh conditions of the Baltic Sea make this a tough job.

So being the Amazon shop-a-holic that I am, I was browsing around and had added a few test tubes and beakers to my cart, surprised that they were so cheap, and I figured I could use them for geeky cups and glasses and things around the house.  I looked at some of the suggested items for me, and found a very cool Baster.
