I’m gonna need to start coming up with better titles for all these posts. Anyhow, each links to a photographer’s gallery and clicking also dispenses candy from your optical disk dive.

Nearing the end of an exhausting two weeks of work and have been juggling multiple roles from designer to editor to camera operator to…  hell, I can hardly remember what now.  This is the third night in a row of getting home at 2am and just one more day to go

Much too tired to post anything proper tonight, so here’s a picture of the Earth and Moon from 6 million miles away.

The latest Big Picture post is up and featuring both the Earth’s most awe inspiring geological activity and one of my favoured choice of a top shelf country.

…is pretty sweet.  Doesn’t look like much on first glance, but it’s a picture of Obama and his team watching a video feed of the raid on Bin Laden.

And just as I’m about to hit post on this, there’s a great Times write up on it to be found here: After Uncertainty, a Moment of Triumph in the Situation Room: ‘We’ve IDed Geronimo’

The President sat stone-faced through much of the events. Several of his aides, however, were pacing. For long periods of time, nobody said a thing, as everyone waited for the next update. In the modern age, Presidents can experience their own military actions like a video game, except that they have no control over the events. They cannot, and would not, intervene to contact the commanders running the operation. So when word came that a helicopter had been grounded, a sign that the plan was already off course, the tension increased.
