This is cool. Just when you thought mario couldn't be any more epic, they go and do a thing like this!



Haha! This kid knows what's up. I mean really.


THATS A CAKE!!! MMMmmmm, i hope it's chocolate cake on the inside..ha! was that out loud?


This is transformers baseball hat. A TRANSFORMER BASEBALL HAT!!! It looks so shiny :)


I mean, duh!!/hello?!



Sometimes awesome things happen. This is one of those times.

....... and back to work I go :)

GOES-P is going up on March 2


The images of earth this unit is capable of capturing are amazing!



I wonder how heavy it is...

Nasa's website has a great page set up about it. It's really impressive!!

GOES Mission Overview

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-P represents a continuation of the newest generation of environmental satellites built by Boeing for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the technical guidance and project management of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.

GOES satellites provide the familiar weather pictures seen on United States television newscasts every day. The GOES imaging and sounding instruments (built by ITT) feature flexible scans for small-scale area viewing in regions of the visible and infrared spectrum allowing meteorologists to improve short-term forecasts. GOES provides nearly continuous imaging and sounding, which allow forecasters to better measure changes in atmospheric temperature and moisture distributions and hence increase the accuracy of their forecasts.

GOES environmental information is used for a host of applications, including weather monitoring and prediction models, ocean temperatures and moisture locations, climate studies, cryosphere (ice, snow, glaciers) detection and extent, land temperatures and crop conditions, and hazards detection.

The GOES-O & P Imagers have improved resolution. The finer spatial resolution allows an improved cloud-top product, better information on atmospheric motion and volcanic ash detection. GOES-P continues the improved image navigation and registration, additional power and fuel lifetime capability, space weather, solar x-ray imaging, search and rescue, and communication services as provided on GOES-13 and GOES-14.

Meh, funny and interesting


What? Just because you're not a 5 year old girl doesn't mean you can't enjoy Minty and Pinkie Pie performing an enthusiastic lip dub of Wicked’s “Defying Gravity”, does it?


Perfect


this dragon is made entirely out of scotch tape


Neat


Fair enough!!

Season of the Witch... Hello Sir Cage!

Oh Sir Cage, you have yet to disappoint. Thank you for your consistency...

COP OUT ... come on Bruce!! Really??

Looks hysterical... but I feel like this is the end of John McClane. I don't know if I'll see it. Too depressing.
