Third Rock Radio →
Alt / Indie Rock Radio powered with NASA.
While NASA is synonymous with the exploration of space, technology, and science education, THIRD ROCK, which is focused on NASA and the great things going on there every day, is all about the exploration of New Rock.
New music AND science?!?! Awesome!
The Jeremy Lin Show Is Just Getting Started, Folks →
New York Magazine sings the praises of the latest Knick sensation.
The best part is how viscerally pleasurable it is to watch Lin play: His game is flashy, almost showoffy, and requires him to have guts, guile and flair in equal measure. The drama of it is, it’s obvious, what’s most fun for him. It is all you could possibly want as a feel-good story. Including — and most important...

Last Friday - Monday recap, in brief and a couple days late:
A quick and easy flight out. A quick and easy flight home. Miami is so close, we should all go there more often.
Hotel upgrade led to a giant room at the Gansevoort complete with a super high ceiling, a wall of huge floor to ceiling windows, and a fantastically comfortable bed.
Bright hot days, cooler but never cold nights.

Sunday...
Ain’t no mountain high, ain’t no valley low. Ain’t no river wide enough, baby. We should become more adventurous.
They will see us waving from such great heights.
“Come down now,” they’ll say.
But everything looks perfect from far away.
“Come down now.”
But we’ll stay.
Feelin’ the breeze, take it with ease, shake off the big city...

Angela’s idea was to mix cancer medicine in a polymer that would attach to nanoparticles — nanoparticles that would then attach to cancer cells and show up on an MRI. so doctors could see exactly where the tumors are. Then she thought shat if you aimed an infrared light at the tumors to melt the polymer and release the medicine, thus killing the cancer cells while leaving...

Finally saw The Artist last night and I totally get what all the fuss is about. It’s a wonderfully charming well made heartwarming film.

One of the best things about the rad record player I got for Christmas?
The hunt.
Searching for record stores. Flipping through bins and crates. Sorting through albums I once owned. Jump starting memories. Finding treasures that I can’t wait to listen to when I get home. Awesome.
At some point I’ll probably order some of the albums that I can’t find in stores from Amazon,...
