Can't be helped. We need another post today.
1) Colin's pictures. This is my favorite. Calcite with the new SEM. It's breath-taking. My colleagues stagger me routinely. And these are just the warm-up pictures. Wow. Colin. Wow. Admiration from afar.
2) ULIRG talk. With pictures. Of the most distant quasars.
3) Today, my friends showed me pictures covering orders of magnitude from ~10^-6 to ~10^29. How do we even hold it in our heads? I'm dizzy.
4) Colloquium today (the ULIRGS) was simultaneously viewed by people in Socorro, Albuquerque and Santiago. Yes. That's Chile. On the other side of the planet (depending on how you draw your sides).
5) And yet, I still get to eat lunch.
