FROM MY FRIEND JOHN HARRINGTON: Shallow Sky: Imaging our Solar System with the Masters. “Today’s top amateur astronomers garner images of our solar system in breathtaking, unprecedented detail. These talented few—including an artist, a businessman, an engineer, a lawyer, a mechanic, a physician and three IT professionals—now produce images far surpassing the best that the great professional observatories produced only twenty-five years ago. Their amazing images are sought after by professional astronomers for scientific research, and constitute an art form for all who appreciate celestial wonders.”

OPEN THREAD: Make it special.

REMEMBER, IF YOU’RE IGNORANT ABOUT THE DETAILS OF TRADITIONAL WHITE FRATERNITIES, THAT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE ELITIST AND INSULAR. If you’re ignorant about black sororities, it’s because you lack “cultural competence.”

From the comments: “Imagine the response from the media if a white man got incensed when a reporter didn’t grok in fullness the richness of his fraternity’s nonsensical and noisy greeting.” That’s different because shut up.

WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW. Watch Hyundai’s Bizarre Walking Car Concept Crawl Like a Lizard. “The legs, which have articulating hips, knees, and ankles, can be programmed to move in a variety of different ways. It starts off with stuff we’ve seen before—passive and active suspension modes—and then things get wild: In Reptilian walking mode, it moves like a lizard with the legs splayed out to the sides, while in Mammalian walking mode it’s more like a dog, with the legs articulating beneath the car’s body. An Omnidirectional walking mode combines both walking techniques to adapt to different kinds of terrain. The Elevate can also apparently do crazy things—again, theoretically—such as scale a five-foot vertical wall and step over a five-foot gap.”
