Setup my telescope today in my living room to do basic terrestrial viewing to get a feel for things, like how much dimmer and fuzzier things are with the Barlow lens.
I pointed it at a random place in the sky and saw a satellite go by. Cool.

FUCK! google!
trying to log into an old gmail account, I know the password, never set a "backup email address" or phone number (on purpose), and now google "can't confirm my identity". account lost forever because I don't log into it often enough.
looking for suggestions on an alternative email service that won't fuck me.

I am doing Very Important Research: which scifi film features space coffee the most.
Right now my top two candidates are Alien(1979) and Event Horizon(1997).
If you know of films with more/equal appearances of space coffee, please let me know! Boosts appreciated for this Very Important Research.
@fool And for the record, it's a decent little game.
TIL there is a card game called "Fool!" @fool

After a couple days away, one of the first things I see on my Twitter feed.
How quaint.
The lastest hackers.town logo is pretty sweet.
Sleep time.
Here's a shot of Hamilton Harbour my wife took through some binoculars. Because hey, why not?
Some rather lame pics of Jupiter. It was a lot more impressive through the eyepiece than this.
You can barely make out a couple of moons. The phone camera was not fast enough to take a picture and avoid the blurriness.
I'll post some pics we took of Jupiter, although they aren't good.
That was a successful first outing with the telescope.
- Got to see Jupiter and its moons
- Also see the bands of clouds!
- It was the first thing I showed my wife (who was a trooper for coming out with me)
- Some random passerbys got to see Jupiter too!
- We took some not so good photos of Jupiter and a couple of the moon
I'm also getting better at setting up the scope.
I forgot how much I liked this.

Astronomy luck today: sky is clear and Jupiter is going to be visible. Maybe I should have a nap.
I know nothing about the book A Wrinkle In Time, but I can say the movie is not captivating me.
