The Sky Is Calling

My pal Kim Boekbinder is writing a music album based on SPACE and SCIENCE and ASTRONOMY! Which is awesome. She asked me to be one of her science advisors, which is also awesome.

She's funding the album via KickStarter, and I just wrote a whole blog post about it with links and music and my usual jackassery. So please read the post and then send tons of money to her because her music is cool.

Also? I love connecting art and science. It's a fantastic way to bring both to more people.

This afternoon, while we were in between scenes during our run through, I asked Kaley and Jim if they’d take a picture with me for the Internet.

I expected Kaley to say yes (she’s all Internetty like I am), and I expected Jim to politely decline (he’s a very private person). I was very surprised when Jim not only said yes, but thanked me for including him.

I was just going to do the “turn the phone around and mush together” picture, but Kaley pointed out that those always look like you just turned the phone around and mushed together, so she got someone to take this picture for us.

You can see so much about how each of us is on the set in this picture: Kaley and I are goofing off like crazy, and Jim is just quietly awesome. I really love these guys. I’m so lucky they’re my friends. 

LeVar Burton is also in this episode, and when we were at craft service this morning, I said, “Check us out. 25 years later, we’re hanging out together in the morning at crafty. This is awesome.”

LeVar high-fived me and said, “it sure is, W.W.”

And I know I keep saying it, but I’ll say it again: this is awesome. I get to work with people I love making a show that I’m proud of, that is one of the most popular shows in the English-speaking world.

When you love what you do, the saying goes, it isn’t work … so I guess I wasn’t really at work today. I was at … play?

Whatever you call it, I’m grateful for it.

A Splendid Blue Wren down at Woodman Point. These are quite bold - but always fast moving, so actually gettng them in frame can be a bit of a challenge. This gentleman had his harem of females flitting about and being very co-operative, while he hid deep inside a clump of shrubbery. In the end, though, patience paid off, and he emerged from cover just long enough for me to get two quick shots off.

This is the first time I've seen one in full splendor in the wild, and getting a photo was an added bonus.

Department of Commerce tells us about some refinements the scammers are using. For example, if you said you were using a Mac, they may ring back pretending to be from Apple. I wonder if they'll ring back saying they're from "Linux". :-) Also they are of the opinion that you should hang up straight away - don't try to string them along.

Rob and I decided to play the Perry Lakes Perth Open 2012 course before the markings completely disappeared. Here Rob makes a tricky putt on hole 12 (Hootsie's Triumph) for an impressive birdy.  It was a nice afternoon today out on the course. I ended up with 66, which was better than I expected, and Rob a 61. But who knows how we would have done if we'd actually played the open???

Hi there!

Hi there!

Back from the mixed doubles, capably run by David Bandy for us. It wa a lot of fun, and I was so pleased to be able to make it, we weren't sure if we could as we were setting up Perry Lakes for the weekend, this afternoon.

Thank you to all of the people who turned up, what a lot came, which is superb!

Our thanks to Dave, we're tired now, but we had a lot of fun!

Prizes for the mixed doubles will be announced at the Players' Dinner tomorrow night.

There is still time to turn up tomorrow and try your hand at Disc Golf! You get a cool player's pack, lunch and even dinner on Saturday night!

Take a look here to check it out.

Who remembers The Plastic Song?

Day and Night the Big Machine
Turns out a Never-Ending Stream
Plastic Products hear them drop
Into boxes, plop,plop,plop

FX Squelch-plop Squelch-plop

Who can remember any more of the lyrics? I've only got

-No more nappies for mummy to wash
Plastic panties slosh,slosh,slosh

and

-splits the peace of Sunday morn
Vacuuming his plastic lawn

(Which my mum and grandmum thought was hilarious in 1977)

Joe Vallee Just a big thank you to you for all your hard and, no doubt at times finnicky and frustrating work with the Google Plus Anniversary Photowalk and its associated competition. It's been really fun and thank you so much for helping those who needed a little technical assistance getting their photos into a suitable shape for the comp. Now it's all up to the judges!

For those of us who were attempting to puzzle out Ros's Alien drawing, apparently she selected "Alien" by mistake...in fact she'd decided to draw a Penguin, but hadn't noticed she'd picked the wrong thing.
