Happy 2010!

Posted by Danielle in Site on January 1, 2010

Sky photo credit & copyright: Tony Hallas, astrophoto.com

Tony Hallas doesn’t know how his photo above thrilled me to bits on Christmas Day — I never dreamed I’d see my home-mountain — is that a term? I live at the foot of it — on APOD! I live near Mount Shasta, California, which is on the right side of his photo; I’ve cropped it above to show just Mt. Shasta, because it’s clearly better than Mt. Lassen and YES I AM EXTREMELY BIASED, I DON’T CARE! (If you don’t believe me, see for yourself. And if you like those sites, click here, eheh. Thank you.)

Anyway, all mountain-bias aside, I’d like to wish all my visitors and regular readers a very happy 2010 — may yours be especially awesome! Thanks for your (site) patronage!!

Season’s Greetings

Posted by Danielle in Site on December 25, 2009

Happy holidays and merry Christmas from all of us me, here at Silver Rockets!

Somehow I missed that Hubble released two new holiday cards for this year, and I’m annoyed, so I’m posting one of them below. So there.

New digs

Posted by Danielle in Site on October 7, 2009

Just a general announcement that this blog has been rebranded under a new name and domain, Silver Rockets (including a fabulous silvery, rockety logo drawn by yours truly.) You can read the About page for details on this decision; enjoy the new digs and please update your feed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/SilverRockets, as the previous feed will go away after 30 days. There is also a LiveJournal syndicated feed, if you are so inclined.

Silver Rockets

It's a rocket, by bashoo @ deviantART

This awesome image is from deviantART — it encapsulates what I’m hoping to do with my new (ma)gnolia group, Silver Rockets:

Celebrating the awe and inspiration surrounding space exploration, human spaceflight and the great beyond. Science and art, fiction and non-fiction, poetry and latest news — welcoming both the dreams and realities of space. Come one, come all!

(Sounds similar to what I do here, I know — this is a way for me to add more links, things not so easily blogged, and hopefully more often than once a day, though I can’t promise that.)

Anyway, my links should be varied and interesting (I hope!), so if you’re a new ma.gnolia user, or an old one that has JUST NOW learned of the relaunch (go sign up!!), please join the group! (You’ll be glad you did!) And if you’ve NEVER heard of (ma)gnolia, it is a social linking tool — somewhat like Delicious — except infinitely more streamlined, sophisticated and elegant.
