All right, I need to start writing more, so here goes! I'm on this list serve for SpaceWeather.com (among many others), and just recently they sent me this awesome email telling me about a clas "x" flare. Too cool! So check it out here. I love this website because it tells you all about the most randomest stuff, like solar activity (the most recent flare knocked out radio stations for about 10 minutes!), and a particularily cool thing that's going on right now: a comet is breaking apart as it approaches the Sun/Earth.

Yeah, like how wicked is that?

Plus, if you scroll to the very bottom of de page, you can see a list of potentially hazardous asteroids, and the distance they were from Earth. There's no point to it, but it is still really funky!
