Cassini Update
The Cassini Huygens probe moved in on Staurn's moon Phoebe. Phobe turned out to be quite pock-marked with craters, which has sent the experts asking questions.

"What spectacular images," Carolyn Porco, Cassini Imaging Team leader at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, said in a statement. "So sharp and clear and showing a great many geological features, large and small. It's obvious a lot of new insights into the origin of this strange body will come as a result of all this."

Wow. You can just feel that excitement! :)
Phoebe has not been aprroached since Voyager 2 did a flyby in 1981, but it went by at 1000times the distance.

Mars Rover Update
Both Spirit and Opportunity have reached their destinations. Spirit is at the bottom of the Columbia Hills. The good news is it's looking uphill, not down hill (b'boom). Opportunity is heading down into Endurance Crater located in the Meridiani PLanum.

Moneyball Update
A great article on the boys of Moneyball, the famous Top 7 Oakland Athletics' first round draft picks of 2004. If you've read the book, you'll know why this is exciting.

Key Psycho Update
I'm cuttin' I'm Cuttin'...

Knee Update
Getting Better All the Time. Went to baseball practice for the first time in 7 weeks. Threw the ball, fielded some grounders, made my crow-hops and throws to 1B, hit some balls too. Felt GOOD. Still hobbling, though.
