A very cool video that shows us how BIG a planet really is.

Found this through @douglaswelch. Rick Turner has made a fully playable Christmas Lights game on his garage door. Much like his Christmas Lights Hero game he made last year, but full of more win.

I went up to Puu Ualakaa Park and today’s sunset was just a little more interesting than usual.

I was invited to attend an arrival ceremony for fallen servicemen recovered from World War 2 and the Vietnam war. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) holds arrival ceremonies every few months or so to honor those recovered from the field. The remains will be identified over the next several months at JPAC’s Central Identification Laboratory and be returned to their families.
