A friend of mine sent me this link to an "honest film trailer" by Screen Junkies off of the Laughing Squid site. Man, it's good!

I was taking it easy today, just tooling around the Internet, listening to my extensive collection of weird music, and this song came up in my queue. I hadn't heard it in a while, but I figured it's just the sort of thing that would go better than perfect here.

The artist, Steve Savitzky, has an extensive catalog of techie filk songs, most of them pretty clever and eminently listenable. Unfortunately, almost none of them are easily available on line. (coughcoughYouTubecough)

So I hope this link can at least whet your appetite.

Time to get your resumes in order, gang: nonprofit organization Mars One has opened up its application process for one-way tickets to the colony they hope to set up on Mars in 2023.

Mind you, it's going to be a permanent gig for whoever they select, so you'd better like the color red and desert views.
