Peek-a-moon
Amazing photograph of a moon rising from behind another moon -- in this case, Saturn's moon Rhea rising behind the moon Titan.
Incidentally, there will be a "blue moon" on New Year's Eve. There will not be another New Year's Eve blue moon until 2028.
Grand Central on a Rainy Night During the Holidays
Another HDR photo from Flickr user: stuckincustoms.
I was a regional marketing manager for a large national bank in the late '90s and was responsible for the Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. markets. Our office was right across the street from Grand Central on 42nd Street. Although I used Penn Station for my local travel, I would walk over to the main concourse and just watch all of the activity. I can just imagine what it was like in its heyday.
More information about Grand Central here.

Spacewalking astronauts seen with a backyard telescope
This is amazing! The spacewalk referred here took place in March 2009. Apparently someone with a telescope and a high quality camera was able to take images of the astronauts themselves.

I suppose this is the next logical product for Tiger to endorse.

John Lennon announced dead by Howard Cosell -- December 8, 1980
Hard to believe it's been 29 years. I was driving home from playing volleyball and then watching part of the MNF game at a bar in Lincoln, Nebraska when I heard the news.

Comedy Central scoops network news on "Climate-Gate" scandal
Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh, oh, the irony.
Quote from Jon Stewart on Tuesday's "The Daily Show" about the growing controversy over faked research reports about global warming.

A funny line from comedy writer Alex Kaseberg
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to place Dirk Johnson and Torrie Cox on injured reserve. The last time a Cox and a Johnson were hurt was when Adam Lambert’s tour bus hit a pot hole.
