Dave Farber, Grandfather of the Internet – This is True Dave Farber died February 7. He was one of the more influential pioneers in early computing and the Internet.

New in my blog: Dave Farber died Saturday. He didn’t invent the Internet: his students had a big part in it. But Farber DID invent distributed computing, and he was a friend of mine. go.thisistrue.com/farber1

I think this is the best HU I’ve read, and I’ve been reading them for a very long time. Great job, Randy!

Yeah, I’m a Topaz fan myself. Not so much for signs, though ;)

OK, it’s not entirely yellow, but I’m counting it for #YellowThu. Pismo Beach, California, about ten days ago. #Photography #Surfing #Beaches

The mountains are calling and I really really really wanna go! It’ll have to wait till next season, though. In the meantime, I have photos to lose myself in. Soldier Lake, Sequoia NP #MountainMonday #iPhonePhotography #Sequoia

What do you mean? You have ALREADY made a difference in the astronomy community through your photos, your words, and the excitement you convey RIGHT HERE! Don’t underestimate the value of that!

If it speaks to you emotionally, does it really matter what anyone else thinks? Personally, I think the sky is awesome!

Not too great - you have to hike to get there 😉 It’s 5.8 miles (9.3 km) from the trailhead to the lake where I took the photo. Location is 36.49866, -118.22135. It’s definitely worth the hike!

A very rocky trail winds on the steep side of Bishop's Peak. Green vegetation line each side of the trail. Cerro San Luis Obispo can be seen in the distance on a hazy day.

The rocky trail on Bishop's Peak in San Luis Obispo. That is Cerro San Luis in the background. Both mountains are part of the Nine Sisters, a line of volcanic plugs.

The Moon as seen from Earth. That is, the side that we see from Earth.

The far side of the Moon. This side is not seen from Earth due to the Moon being tidally locked with Earth, meaning one side always faces us. It’s covered in many craters
