This was the second CD I ever purchased.  I was 14 when our house was broken into and our PC was stolen. In the CD drive was this magical disc!  I  listened to it on repeat and it was a huge inspiration to me in learning guitar.  I was more upset that I lost that CD than the computer itself.  I hunted it down recently and repurchased it 18 years later. It just came in the mail today and i can’t wait to experience these compositions again!  
It’s Christopher Parkening an David Brandon playing Virtuoso Duets.

There’s a lot of solar radiation hitting the earths atmosphere over the past week or so.  This is a beautiful by-product!
Another amazing capture from ESA astronaut André Kuipers, from his vantage point on the ISS. The Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, in the high atmosphere between Australia and Antarctica. André travelled to the orbital outpost in December 2011, and will remain in orbit for more than 6 months as part of ESA’s long duration mission, PromISSe.

Creepy video of an icy finger of death

This is amazing and weird and wonderful and terrifying: a time lapse video of of water freezing as it flows down to the ocean floor.

WATCH. THIS. The time lapse starts around 1:08, although if you skip to there you’ll miss learning the word “brinicle.”

Check out this new video I made.  It’s been a while since I last had a creative project…my last one was a sunset too, so I figured I’d start there.  

“A Pacific Sunset”

I think I’m gonna get one of these for a night session up at Shasta. You can never be too careful!  This is so weird and coooool!

This is absolutely mesmerizing. A hauntingly beautiful video of pro snowboarder William Hughes lighting up the French Alps in a white LED suit.

We got a shout out on Ars Technica today! NComputing FTW!

While advances in XenDesktop software and the ability to pack ever more virtual desktops onto a single server factor into the equation, a key piece is a new partnership with virtual desktop software vendor NComputing and hardware vendor Texas Instruments to create a system-on-a-chip architecture that incorporates Citrix’s own HDX high-definition virtual desktop technology directly into the silicon.
