A post not about boys

Even though most of the time, boys are the #1 topic in my brain recently, there is other stuff jangling around in there.

You may have noticed I changed my background to stars (Or not because you're reading this long after I've changed my mind again and with it the background.)

I've been dreaming of stars recently. I've been reading Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

If you don't know who that is, you can read about him on Wikipedia. Or you can do it the fun way and watch some of his interviews.

Or visit the Nova Science Now homepage to find out more. (If you click on Watch Video from the top toolbar, you can watch full episodes of the TV series that has really made Neil deGrasse Tyson popular)

One of my favorite quotes from the book (thus far, I'm only like a third of the way through it.):
"Once again, we resurrect the idea that life might be everywhere, just as our ancestors had imagined. But today, we do so without risk of being immolated, and with the newfound knowledge that life is hardy and that the habitable zone may be as large as the universe itself."

That'll make you dream of exploring the stars...
