    U.S. astronaut Don Pettit made some time lapse videos while he was at the International Space Station, cruising at 17,239 miles per hour.

    More videos at Gizmodo.

    “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.”

    – Stephen Hawking, in his new book “The Grand Design,” co-authored with U.S. physicist Leonard Mlodinow.

    While I doubt that any assertion of truth as regards a creator can be valid from an ontological perspective, I like Hawking’s confidence.

    • ]]>     I try to like Montgomery. I really do. It’s probably a great place to raise a kid and there are a lot of good people here. But a cultural and artistic mecca it is decidedly not. The last concert I saw here was, um, well, Hall and Oates.*

    Today I read the paper and discovered who’s playing here next. It’s that no-talent ass clown.

    * Disclaimer: the show was actually a lot of fun the music notwithstanding.
