Subtle as an iBrick
It's a blizzard outside! Sadly none of it is settling on the ground. As far as I'm concerned this defeats the whole purpose of snow, which is to make the world look pretty and fresh and strange. Not just soggy.
While I'm here: Steve Jobs meets US Foreign Policy in this surprisingly amusing skit about Iraq. I say "surprisingly" because it's about as subtle as a brick, but that's part of the charm.
Lastly, I don't know why this is cool but it is: an image of Jupiter taken from the Cassini probe in orbit around Saturn (1.1 billion miles away). Now that's a zoom lens.
EDIT: Some actual snow on the ground this morning! Plenty of signs of it melting rapidly as it lands, but for the moment it's actually quite white in places.
