It’s a Paisley puppy! This camera angle plays up her adherence to the Rules of Cuteness, don’t you think?

I found this photo at the HubbleSite. This is what they said about it:

In this unusual image, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures a rare view of the celestial equivalent of a geode — a gas cavity carved by the stellar wind and intense ultraviolet radiation from a hot young star. Real geodes are baseball-sized, hollow rocks that start out as bubbles in volcanic or sedimentary rock. Only when these inconspicuous round rocks are split in half by a geologist, do we get a chance to appreciate the inside of the rock cavity that is lined with crystals. In the case of Hubble’s 35 light-year diameter “celestial geode” the transparency of its bubble-like cavity of interstellar gas and dust reveals the treasures of its interior.

I know – another web comic. But this one is SO FUNNY. Because it would TOTALLY HAPPEN.

The mouse-over on the original reads “You can identify them ahead-of-time — they lead with their left foot when the music starts.” This, I think, is the part that made me laugh so hard I started crying – but then again, that’s usually the case with XKCD.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

In honor of the romantic occasion, I bring you an image filched from Cute Overload, called “In Flagrante Delicto”. A warning: this image may not be safe for work! ;)

I are a slackr.

And at this rate, I’m going to use up all of my “backup” Daily JPGs. Gonna have to start taking some photos, no?

For Wednesday’s Daily JPG, I present the following shot. I have titled it “What the Heck am I Thinking?” It depicts my place in the world from 5:15-6:45 on Wednesday afternoons. Note to general public: I am not a percussionist.

Thursday was the first day I taught as the “real” teacher. It didn’t go particularly well. (There’s a blog entry in the works over at FOB, but I haven’t finished it yet.) In honor of that, I present a photo of my classroom’s new setup. It’s a subtle change, but it’s there.

Friday seemed like a good day to share a picture stolen from Cute Overload (taken by a rooftop webcam) instead of one of my own:

And finally, Saturday. Uhm… someone let the cat out of the bag? Or into the bag? One of those things…
