NASA image-capturing technology...impressive.

In case you were wondering applications for the best job in the world are due February 22nd. So get cranking and make sure you submit your stuff.
Last night, I spent an hour getting my favicon up, which for me is an hour too long. Thanks to two separate posts by Peter I was able to get it up. So notice it...appreciate it...and repeat after me: 'awwwwwh'. Nice, very nice.
Anyway what really caught my attention was this.
It's a picture of the inauguration taken with a NASA image-capturing technology that was developed to take wide-angle Hi-Def pictures on Mars. The inauguration picture was taken with a robotic camera at 1,474 mega pixel (295 times the standard 5 mega pixel camera). It's madness.
I got this patriotic site sent to me today in an email. I kinda wondered how they were able coordinate all those artists singing and playing at different places. Regardless, it made me put my hand over my heart.
Yeah. So that's all I got for you...now for me...I have about a 12 foot stack of books waiting for me on my desk. My professors claim it's homework, we students call it torture.

Blog Templates and Address Bar

I honestly didn't know that installing blog templates could be so much work. Way back in the day, I was a "Myspacer" and I would edit/change my page constantly via HTML and CSS. So I flexed my muscles, and presumed to think I could tackle editing a blog template. Well 3 hours into I realized I would need a little help. Enter jackbook.com the (almost) greatest man to ever live. (The "greatest man to ever live" title changes rather frequently, it goes to whoever helps me in my hour of need.) His FAQ was like manna from heaven.
In the process of installing this current template you see here, I found out what the word "uncomment" meant (believe you me, the definition alone took me an hour to find!)

Uncomment: Remove the semi-colon
-verb
ie:
;extension=php_mssql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll

So simple. I have to wonder why it took me so long. Regardless, the template is up and, if I do say so myself, looks fantastic. Special thanks to Jack.
I also added an favicon to the address bar/navigation bar. Way easy. I searched far and wide on Google typing in crazy things (ie. icon in navigation bar, changing picture in address bar). Finally found out how to on Mecury's site. Thanks to the now greatest woman who ever lived.
