On PBS

The PBS show NOVA scienceNOW used one of my pictures on its episode, "Where Did We Come From?" last night.

Here's the picture:

Here's an example of how it was used (after considerable doctoring):



You can see it throughout the episode during the introductions by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

An update

Where have I been? Oh, around. If there's anyone still reading this, sorry again for the lack of blogging lately. I'm going to try to provide some more frequent updates here now that wedding preparations are more seriously underway.

But first, an excuse for the lack of blogging: busy! Aside from work, I've got ski class on Mondays and Wednesdays, poker on Tuesdays, and I've been catching up on past seasons of Mad Men with friends on Thursdays. That doesn't leave a lot of time. But I'll give it a shot.

The ski class has been really fun -- after years of teaching myself to skate ski, I'm finally receiving some real training. It's now much easier than it ever was, thanks to some new techniques. And it's a great way to stay in shape over the winter.

So where are we with the wedding prep? We have a date (October 1, 2011) and a location (Langley, WA). We have a menu (for the most part), and we're close to locking down a DJ, photographer, and lodging for the weekend. Still lots to do. I'll be back with an update again soon.
