[podcast]http://kestrelsaerie.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/model_disclaimer.mp3[/podcast] I was looking at Astropixie’s blog this morning, as I am wont to do whenever she posts anything. Today’s entry is a spectacular animation of what the Earth would look like if it had a ring system similar to Saturn’s (and what those rings might look like from Earth). Definitely worth a look! (And…

So Long, Intense Debate
Without going into a lot of detail (most of which is documented in the comments to the preceding article) I’ve uninstalled Intense Debate after a 24-hour trial. The issues ID presented were more than I wanted to deal with and try to correct (and, I think, some could not be "fixed"). Don’t misunderstand: For many…
Intense Debate Now Active!
Next time you visit the Aerie, the comments section will look a bit different than in the past: I’ve just installed and activated Intense Debate (ID), a blog commenting system to enhance reader engagement and interaction. In addition to the same threaded comments presentation and ability to subscribe to comments and replies, ID now includes…
Why You Should Subscribe to the Aerie by Email
How many of you have a feed reader full of unread blog articles? Yeah, so do I; currently, my unread count stands at 163 items, mostly in WoW blogs. And that’s after reading almost all the stuff I really want (or “need”) to read today! Many people who are faced with this onslaught of bloggination…
Caught In A Blogging Black Hole
Everyone should know what a black hole is, but in case you don’t, allow me to describe it in what can only be described as “layman’s terms.” A black hole exists (usually) where a star has collapsed on itself, and all the mass of the star has likewise collapsed into a very, very small volume….
Wordsmith Wednesday: Get Ready for NaNoWriMo
"NaNoWriMo"? What is that, something Mork had for breakfast? Or something he and Mindy did on their honeymoon? In fact, "NaNoWriMo" is "short" (how about if we stick to NaNo from here on out?) for National Novel Writing Month. Some of my blogging friends are planning to write a 50,000 word novel during November; others…
Friday Five: “Must-Have” Blog Design Elements
As I have mentioned, I read a lot of blogs. Right now, I have a bit over 100 subscriptions in Google Reader. But I don’t just read the RSS feed. I also have Gina Trapani‘s Better GReader addon for Firefox, so by clicking an article title in GReader, I can see the article as it…
Tell Me What You Think
The working title of this article is "Tell Me What You Think." It will be interesting to see if I come up with a better one before I hit "Publish" on this post. I can hear you thinking, "Kes, what the hell are you on about, birdman?" (Incidentally, you may be surprised to know I…
New Webhost, One Small Problem
In the last 24 hours, I’ve successfully transferred Kestrel’s Aerie to a new web host. With any luck at all, the transfer was completely transparent to all of you: It certainly was, to me! I originally wrote this around 4pm Saturday; it’s now almost 1am on Sunday. At about midnight I came upstairs after watching…
Support Your Local Blogger!
We Get Mail! Today, I got my first-ever fan letter. As I told Anna, if a manly man such as myself could squee, I’d be squeeing. And then, I actually did squee to Bre. But honestly, I’m simply beaming. Occasionally, I receive email via my Contact Form. Almost invariably, it’s a request to participate in…
