Celestial emoji
Friday morning, just before dawn, the heavens will text us a smiley. That’s Venus, Saturn and the moon lining up in a silly face.
And that afternoon? DEAD POOL! Seems like an omen of some kind.
p.s. for some reason, I’m not able to comment on the post below (this blog is so broken). Tonyc, I’m unaware that the stupid new terrorism legislation will affect any of the festivals we go to. They’re much smaller than the one cited in the article. But they are larger than 800 people so it’s possible we’ll be touched by the idiocy. I’ll keep you posted.
And if you’re the tonyc who just won the Dead Pool, drop me a line. I’ll lose your email if I write it down.

It’s not a smiley face if you’re standing on your head.

It just now occurred to me that it is not possible to depict the night sky digitally. The smallest element in a digital image is a single pixel. Stars with very few exceptions are point sources of light. The pixel can only tell you the area in which the point can be found, but it cannot depict the point itself.

I was up early early, but alas, the sky was all clouds. No smiley moon for me and my faithful furry sidekick.
