Blog Admin — Filling in at Ho Yummy

For the next couple of weeks I’ll be filling in for a friend of mine over at Ho Yummy, a food review blog with a Vancouver slant.  The site’s owner Gigi is a good friend of mine and she’s taking a few weeks off.

I’ve always been a bit of an “admin” guy… ever since I found a fun summer project of setting up my own BBS, the old modem kind not the new-school telnet revival.  I’ve always gravitated towards this type of thing, because it gives me a chance to “look under the hood” and see how things work.

Anyways, if you’ve got some time, pop over to Ho Yummy in the next couple of weeks and see what’s going on.  I may even slide in a review of my own!  :P

Galactic Collisions: Mice Galaxies

It’s remarkable to think that to entities as large as galaxies could actually collide, but it does happen.  It has happened in the past, as far as we can tell.
