Probe to get Wild on dust
Offtopic, but high level of geekness.... Early on Saturday, Melbourne time, mankind will attempt to catch its first pocketful of comet dust. Almost 390 million kilometres away, a NASA space probe, Stardust, will dive deep inside a cloud of dust and gas spewing from a comet called Wild 2. Travelling at 21,000 km/h, it will use a tennis racquet-shaped collector to snare more than 1000 dust particles from the cloud, possibly providing clues to the birth of life on Earth. Canberra's Tidbinbilla tracking station will stay in touch as Stardust zooms 300 kilometres above the comet. [more] This is cool. Even cooler, the names of all my family are on a microchip embedded on the probe. Over 1 million names were collected and placed on the STARDUST spacecraft. If you look closely, you will see many Arrigo's listed!! (Sorry Bricey you aren't on the chip - but then again, you weren't born when this was launched!).

Moira Arrigo
My kids have been asking me why I never write or post anything about their mum. Good question. Moira is a shy private person who doesn't like the limelight. Time to change all that! She's my dear sweet wife, and mother of 4 fantastic kids. She puts up with a lot of stuff (mainly from me), but she is always smiling. Good on ya Moi!

ABC Sport - Cricket - Hayden powers Australia home
"Big-hitting Matthew Hayden powered Australia to a crushing nine-wicket win against India on the final day of the third Test at the MCG this morning. Hayden clubbed nine boundaries for his unbeaten 53 from 63 balls as Australia, chasing 95 runs to win, raced to 1 for 97 after 100 minutes of batting. Man of the match Ricky Ponting brought up the winning runs when he swept Anil Kumble to the boundary. The win levelled the four-Test series at 1-1, and set up a thrilling final Test when Steve Waugh farewells the international arena in his 168th and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground from January 2."
