Posted on August 6, 2012 by Arcterex

6 years ago I wrote that the future was now and was incredible, that you could get raw images from a Martian lander on an FTP site minutes after that were transmitted…. from another planet.

Posted on January 8, 2011 by Arcterex

Well, it took it’s time, but it’s finally here (at least for a bit). We were sitting watching the new (and excellent) Sherlock BBC series when we looked out the window and what appeared to be snowballs were falling from the sky. Turns out it was just snow in huge flakes though. Grabbed my Pentax …

Posted on December 10, 2006 by Arcterex
