Word of the Day

Solicitous (adj., so-LISS-ih-tuss)

Showing a great deal of care and concern for another, even being anxious. You know people like this. They are wonderful. They send food home with you and call often. One of them is probably your mom. Hug these people. Do something for them, too.

A multi-exposure photo of a lunar eclipse

I have a variety of photos that rotate as my computer backdrop, often from the website Unsplash (previously featured somewhere in the archives). Most of them are of natural scenes. One that's not has slowly become my favorite, and that's Claudio Testa's photo of a lunar eclipse:

The balance and color of this photo is something else. And by moving from left to right, we get to see the details in the moon as it moved through the eclipse as well. Quite a photo.

You can see and download the photo over at Unsplash.

Happy Friday

I have no idea what this is, but it makes me laugh. The guy not really doing anything at 0:24 makes me laugh. The fact that this looks like a Monty Python sketch makes me laugh. The comment about this being Austria's national heritage makes me laugh. Enjoy!
