Bangungot ng Bayan. (Bangungot: Tagalog, a nightmare that kills you if you don’t wake up from it.)
Happy EDSA Day. Sayang, no?

Away Message
Still on break for another week month or so. In the meantime I’m busy designing Smokefree-Yes.com, animating Mars Wiggles, following rover news, moderating politics on Pinoyexchange, accumulating del.icio.us bookmarks, and of course, gradually getting this site back into shape. See you soon.
Check out the book. I had great fun reading it again for the first time in almost a decade. Perhaps you will, too.
Notorious Jet
Do you recognize this plane? Look closer. You may have seen it in another picture in the past. Yes, it’s the plane from the Tourist Guy photo. He’s been getting around a lot these past few years.
Crowded Platform
Metro Center. With the possible exception of the Smithsonian Metro stop on a summer weekend afternoon, this is the most crowded I’ve ever seen a Metro platform.

Multiple Pipes
I’m not sure why, but there is something strangely disturbing, in a dark and Geiger-ish way, about the arrangement of all the dryer exhaust pipes in the laundry room.

Rhizomes
An amusing caption at an educational exhibit on plants in the National Botanical Garden.

Let’s Roll
Update: Heh, check out Google’s logo.
I’ve grabbed and grafted some stereo images from Spirit’s raw gallery and made a couple of wiggle animations: navcam looking back at lander, front hazcam shot.
Unwanted Irony
I’m still recovering from a mild virus that hitched back with me from the Philippines, and my lungs have been giving up their dead for about a week now. Last night, I cracked open a bottle of store-brand Tussin syrup (cough suppresant) and quickly chugged down two teaspoons. A few drops took the wrong route, however, and left me hacking and coughing for about five minutes afterward.
Pomography
Speaking of postmodern Christianity, Alex Arnold has a series of posts on just that topic.
(And a side note: when you write “postmodern” as its hip abbreviation, “PoMo,” be sure to capitalize that “M.” With some fonts, “pomo” looks just a bit too much like another word.)
