Hang out on Governors Island

Governors Island may seem like the forgotten island of New York. However, during the summer there are many things you can do on the island. Tomorrow, on June 18th, there will be a Badminton match on the island, and everyone is invited. The boat is free and only takes seven minutes. For more information about the different events, please visit http://govisland.com/html/home/home.shtml

Shakespeare in the Park

There are many things to do outside during the summer in NY. According to Times Out, you can watch a free Shakespeare show in Central Park this weekend! The entrance is Central Park West and 81st Street. I often find myself reading Times Out because its a great magazine to read if you want to explore something different in your everyday life.

Funniest Norwegian Commercial Ever

Soyuz 27 Travels to Space

On June 7, Mike Fossum, Sergei Volkov and Satoshi Furukawa traveled to a space in the new space craft named Soyuz TMA-02M. It is interesting how we (normal people) don't seem to care as much about the space as we did before. We don't even bother to turn on the TV when the space craft sends the new international crew to space. What made us more interested in apples iCloud than the real one?

Media in Space

My last post reminded my about the history of media in space. It's amazing how fare we have come, and even today I think it's amazing how we have managed to have people visiting the moon. In this clip, you can see the video that was broadcasted in 1969 when Armstrong took his first step on the moon.

Best Night sky

I visited nationalgeographic.com and found a great picture of the best night sky for 2011. The picture is taken in Island on March 10. I love the way the green aurora frames creates a ring over the island.
