One minute of wonder to put things in perspective, from infinity-imagined:
A time-lapse taken from the front of the International Space Station as it orbits our planet at night. This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica. Visible cities, countries and landmarks include (in order) Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Fransisco, Los Angeles. Phoenix. Multiple cities in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Mexico City, the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Lightning in the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and the Amazon. Also visible is the Earths ionosphere (thin yellow line) and the stars of our galaxy.

This is me: start of the weekend and start of vacation. (reblogged from

I was pretty jealous when Ommwriter came out, since it’s only available for Macs. Thankfully, now there’s Creawriter for the Windows environment. Its background and ambient sound are totally customizable (the default sound is on a somewhat-annoyingly-short loop), so it’s great for establishing a quiet writing environment with minimal distractions.

It does one thing, and it does it well: a high-quality 15-minute loop of a summer rainstorm. (via Lifehacker)
