Cruising this week:

• Our Roots: Canada’s local histories online. Huge collection of local history documents.


• AKMA digs warning signs


• Douglas and Catherine Harding’s Headless Way


• Throat singing in Tuva. Article in Scientific American


• An annotated review of some really good science sites


• A great time and date site, with calenders, calculators and miscellaneous stuff.

My God. I am ranked third by Google for a search on pictures of products of chemical technology by filipino chemists.

I’m flattered. I’d like to thank the academy.

Mars, showing the southern ice cap

All this hoopla about Mars being closer to Earth than it has been in 50,000 years is interesting, especially because, even with backyard equipment, you can witness Mars melting right before your eyes.

Dog days of summer….not much to blog.

Arf!

The Blue Lagoon, near Reykjavik, Iceland.

I’ve always wanted to go to Iceland. I don’t know why, but I’m drawn to the north and the barrens.

Today I found a travelogue of a trip to Iceland last year undertaken by Sky and Telescope writer Paul Deans. It just reinforced my desire to go there.

If i had US$2775, I might consider this trip for myself. There’s no question it would make great blogging material…
