tracker7Ace Combat 04 arrived today, and I played through the first four missions. It's tremendous fun, and I can gleefully ignore the arcade-game aspects of it. Frankly, it is an absolute hoot to shoot down a MiG-29 from an F-4.
Unmarked police car alert: Bourbon County has a grey final-generation Pontiac Grand Am.
The first two workdays of the week have been decent. They've gone by pretty quickly. Tomorrow, though, is probably going to be a monster. We have to complete two full-run editions, plus a half-dozen feature sections.
Teams of scientists at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Kyoto University have announced that they've developed a method of, from what I'm understanding, essentially reprogramming skin cells to mimic embryonic stem cells. I think this is terrific news for scientific advancement, and I hope that new avenues of research open up. I'm actually strongly in favor of using actual embryonic cells for biological and medical research - most of you know my feelings on this, and if you don't, drop me an e-mail if you care enough to ask - but the current political climate in the USA doesn't lend itself to that.
While I'm at it, JAXA has released photos taken by its lunar-orbit mission. Beautiful images, strongly - and probably deliberately - reminiscent of the Apollo 8 photographs from 1968.
Man, I do love science.
