News - Amateur astronomer takes amazing pictures of International Space Station: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/16oct_spaceships.htm

Comment - This is really cool. I think it is astounding that you can get pretty detailed photos using an ordinary digital camera.

Here's a thought: if it's so easy for us to image them, up there...how hard is it for them to image us, down here!

News - Detroit sport media is making a huge deal out of the Detroit Lions coach calling one of his players "a coward": http://www.freep.com/sports/albom/mitch21_20021021.htm

Comment - I think it is so stupid that anyone is paying attention to this. We're just months away from sending our soldiers to fight and die in Iraq, and people are getting worked up about whether football players have courage?

I watched an excellent movie this weekend: We Were Soldiers, a very graphic film about a real battle in 1965 South Vietnam. It showed real courage, not the fake kind they blab about in sports. Kind of puts things into perspective.
