A very large timelapse image from wikipedia.com: lunar_eclipse_02-20-08.jpg

A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, the Moon is always full the night of a lunar eclipse. Every year there are usually at least two partial lunar eclipses, although total eclipses [like the one on February 20th] are significantly less common.

The Delta Gorillas

One of the dreams I’ve had for well over a year recently came true when a friend at work and I brought our gorilla suits in and had a fight in the front lawn of the company I work for. We did it during lunch when we thought everyone would be returning from lunch.

I am the idiot who wore a white shirt under my gorilla suit. And yeah, I realize the Men at Work song doesn’t make sense, because there are not gorillas in Australia.

interesting fact: i had bought my gorilla suit explicitly for this video, but my friend, out of pure coincidence, got the same suit for other reasons. he was totally game for the gorilla fight.

Peach and Apple tea with Cane Sugar (Ito En)

Yeah, I’ve been trying a lot of new teas lately, but these have topped the others. At around $1 a bottle (on sale), it’s a little more pricey than most, but you get what you pay for. No high-fructose corn syrup, just good old fashioned cane sugar. The tea tastes great, but since the sweetness is not overwhelming (like a lot of bottled teas), you can drink a lot of it and not feel sick to your stomach.

Ito En Apple and Peach Tea

On the website of Ito En, they have several other flavors like Apricot, Cranberry, Lemon, Mango, Raspberry, Orange, Pear, and Grape. Ito En is a Japanese Tea company that specializes in Green Tea products. Read more on wikipedia.
