Happy Birthday Sputnik!

51 years ago today the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into orbit. As a result the space race began.

So I just would like to say Happy Birthday to Sputnik. I guess maybe I should say Happy Launchday, but whatever. Semantics.

The Universe Revisited

I just bought this book called 'Universe: The Cosmos Explained' which basically gives a simple explanation to most of the aspects of astronomy. I love it. All I'm doing right now is reading the glossary and I find it completely fascinating. Wonderous.

I also just bought the new Jack Johnson album, it's pretty much amazing. There's something about it that just gets me in a way that his other albums don't.

Now I'm reading about the Superstring Theory. Geebus this is interesting.

But I'm supposed to be painting. Woops.
