NASA just released photos of Pluto. Honest to goodness, “Look we can actually see stuff on the surface” photos, from a space craft that launched in January of 2006. I was still in college and knew very little about anything.

We sent a camera 3 billion miles into space to take pictures of a thing we knew existed but never actually saw (besides as a spec of light). If you don’t think that’s awesome (the actual meaning, not “man that taco was awesome”) I really don’t know what I could talk about that would interest you.

And I still know very little.

    I’ve been a little off since getting back from California.

    Tuesday I went to a live recording of my favorite podcast, Stuff You Should Know. It was about Public Relations & the inventor of it (and bad guy), Edward Bernays. I recommend you listen to it when it comes out because it was super interesting; Bernays was, as Josh put it, an evil genius. Some of…
