Whoa, whoa, whoa... Uh...WTF happened to my G+?
So now it looks pretty much just like it does on my iphone app? 
That's...unfortunate.

I'm backing this project. Will you help too?

They're suggesting a real use of swarm robotics -- a mini-Borg collective, if you will -- to do something GENUINELY GOOD for our planet. 

If this isn't a good use of Kickstarter, I don't know what is.

Bittersweet news that "Body of Proof" is cancelled.
I was very lucky to be able to work with such awesome people, and being on a show that (for the past 2 seasons, at least) actually shot IN TOWN was heavenly.
But I'm excited to move on to the next adventure. Can't wait to see what it'll be...and take you all with me! ;-)

Ahhhhhhh, the springtime garden... :-)
Still picking sugar snaps, peas, radishes, & lettuce (that's a lettuce "bouquet" my daughter couldn't resist taking a bite out of in the pics below!). Now the first of the blueberries & blackberries are ready, tomatoes are waist-high, and the peanuts & okra are starting to poke their heads up through the ground! 
Heaven.

Beautiful Aurora/Milky Way Timelapse from Shawn Malone - Over 10,000 pictures used

The incredible Shawn Malone created this timelapse of the night sky using a year's worth of images he captured from Northern Michigan. Over 10,000 separate images, captured during 33 separate scenes of observing, were used to make up this beautiful timelapse.

If you watch closely, you'll see: northern lights, meteors, nebulae, galaxies, planets, Venus and Jupiter, constellations, the milky way, comet Pan-Starrs, and more.

Here's more info:

Tell me all you want - sci-fi shows and movies are the engine; they steam our imagination, our drive, our will. I remember when I was little, growing up in a very small place, far, far away from all the cool stuff. I was watching sci-fi on TV and thinking "Someday, someday...". 

But how far is someday really away? Let's take a look at Star Trek. Hey +Jeri Ryan this made me think of you. 

Oh yea! Happy First Contact Day - today in 2063 is when humans will have the pivotal first interaction between them and the Vulcans...

Here's a TV Guide article about tonight's HOT episode of "Body of Proof"!

I really need you guys to watch TONIGHT, please!! (C'mon, I don't ask you for many favors, but this one's important. I need to get as many eyes as I can on this ep, so even if you don't normally watch the show, PLEASE WATCH THIS ONE!)

And thanks. ;-)

In typical "me" fashion, I totally forgot "Body of Proof" was on last night until it was airtime on the west coast. (I know, I know... ACTRESS FAIL!) 

So who watched...?

And, um, who saw THE PROMO FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE...? ;-) 
Not gonna lie: I had to watch through my fingers. 
I'm definitely gonna need a drink next Tuesday! 
Or possibly sedation. 
And lots and lots of distractions for the hubby...! ;-)

Today was pretty much as close to a perfect day as it gets. :-)
Ridiculously gorgeous weather; a beautiful morning ride on our horse, Napoleon; lunch date with my hubby; fun family time with both my kids; violin lessons AND a little bit of garden "therapy"! 
Life is good. I'm counting my blessings. :-) 
You...?

Imagine a road system that powers the entire nation, powers electric vehicles, communicates with vehicles, de-ices itself, reduces animal impacts, pays for itself, and is made from recycled materials. Meet the solar roadway:

Is this the answer we've been looking for? Cheap fuel powering electric cars... w/out all the DAMN hidden costs!

International Tabletop Day is March 30

We at +Geek & Sundry have wanted to do International #Tabletop  Day since we premiered a year ago, and we’ve been working on making it happen for almost as long.

At tabletopday.com, you can find and join events in your town, or create your own! You can play wherever you want, but if you go to your friendly local gameshop, you may just get one of the Tabletop Day exclusive bonuses for games like Gloom, Dixit, 7 Wonders, Castle Panic, Smash Up, and more. It’s so so so awesome, you guys, and I can’t wait for you to see the amazing things our friends in the games industry have created for you.

The very best thing about Tabletop, for me, isn’t that I get to play games for my job or that I get to hang out with awesome people while I do it. I know that seems like it would be the most awesome thing about Tabletop, but itisn’t. Th... more »
