    I usually just wear some leather gloves and grab that sh!t... But I don't ever have fires that big either.

    Bummer! I've only shot auto once. It was at the machine gun shoot at Dragonmans. Seemed like a pretty big waste of ammo, but it was awesome nonetheless.

    Contact is a good movie, but can't say its my favorite. I don't post more science/space stuff because I'm lazy. Cough cough, I mean efficient. Which is actually my motto: "Laziness breeds efficiency". And you better believe it when I tell you I'm the most efficient engineer out there!

    I've thought about making a photo tour presentation of the work that I do and how we observe with our telescope, but again, that'd be a lot of work. It isn't just a point it at the sky and take pictures telescope. We are doing a survey of the entire visible night sky. In fact, most of the data from http://www.google.com/sky/ and http://www.wikisky.org/ come from our telescope. The first 2 surveys were optical imaging. We're on the third survey which is focused on spectroscopy, one instrument looks for the ripples left in space from the big bang (in short) and the other is looking at everything in the center of the milky way galaxy. It is the most sensitive ground based IR camera in the world, so in the 1.5yrs that its been in operation, it has produced phenomenal data. In fact, so much so, that they're going to build a second instrument to put in the southern hemisphere and observe that entire night sky too!

    Aw, heck, I'll see what I can do about a photo tour...or at least using a promotional video that our observatory developed.

    Here's something to keep you busy for a while though. It is a compilation of galaxy images that were made into a video corresponding to their positions relative to the Milky Way. As in, if we could actually fly through space, we'd see these exact galaxies in the exact positions. The only change, is that the galaxy sizes were increased by a magnitude of 10, so that you could actually see structure to them. Read the description for a little more insight into how large our project is.
