Two very cool stories top our day. First, Reuters reports on the New Horizons getting ever closer to Pluto. There are some really cool pictures coming back and it is really interesting to watch. In other “news”, NPR talks about the revival of Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed. This was one of my favorite strips when and it is exciting to see a revival of it. There are some interesting posts in the security section as well, so make sure you check those out.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
