Some days my head spins with the insane amount of things I would like to accomplish.

Another incredible hubble shot, this time of galaxy cluster Abell 1351. Thousands of galaxies. I often times wonder how many civilizations I'm looking at. What do all the planets look like? I think for a significant portion of the population, when they look at an image like this, it's fairly meaningless. Perhaps it's knowing some underlying facts about the image, but I'm not sure. I can't help but think that the world would be a better place if more people found images like this fascinating -- if a higher percentage of the population was curious and realized how small they are in the universe.

I feel like sometimes the trick is figuring out how best to break larger projects into smaller manageable chunks -- chunks that are small enough do finish in 30 minutes or an hour and are launch-ready or fully complete on their own.

I remember closing my eyes sometimes as a child. It wasn't too often, but every-now and then I would experience the massive void of that space.   A large, infinite curtain surrounding me. While is was dark and black, it wasn't featureless -- there was a noise to that space that would vibrate.   I could experience it spatially, move around in it. Examine the texture. It felt massive. I'm sure it can all be explained rather easily (eyes adjusting to the light reduction, pupils dilating, etc...), but at the time I felt like I was peaking at something more profound. It can be a little frightening at times staring into an infinite void, sometimes so much that I would have to open my eyes.

I wonder if it would actually be good for the environment if everyone just became snowbirds. We would for the most part always be in a warm climate, but not excessively so. Less heating in the winter and less air conditioning in the summer.
