1. I don’t want to make Carl Sagan sad, but I really think I can get behind the latest hippie astrology advice for the new moon:

We need to sleep as much as possible during our cycle of transformation. We process the most karmic residue, readjust and realign into higher vibration when we are sleeping.

 I could definitely sleep more. I’m not staying up too late; I have a lot of karmic residue to process!

2. Check out 100,000 Stars, a web app (those are covered in my friend’s book!) that plots our nearest 100,000 stars in interactive 3D.  The “play” button on the upper left gives you a nice tour and sense of scale. (This was built for Chrome, but it worked fine for me in Firefox. No guarantees for Internet Explorer, though.)

My Friend Wrote A Book (And I Edited It)!

My oldest friend, career and boyfriend adviser, portfolio builder, and fellow viewer of the Birdemic live event has written a book! In her non-Birdemic watching time she’s a super-savvy business owner, and the book reflects what she’s learned as her company builds mobile apps. 

It’s not at all technical, don’t worry; it just gives you what you need to know before you get involved in an app project. My friend is a really entertaining writer and I found the info very useful as a background for my own field–and for the modern world in general. 

Check out the book’s site here: www.buildingamobileapp.com. There is a launch party for it tomorrow night at another friend’s new rare book gallery downtown. Bring your Kindle/device with a Kindle app and you can get a free edition of the e-book!
