jtotheizzoe: Meteor Showers 2012 A calendar of all the major meteor showers taking place in 2012 that I drew up. Of course, this isn’t all of the meteor events this year. Only the ones with the best chance of being visible. I chose only events with a Zenith Hourly Rate (ZHR, the number of peak events per hour) above 10. You should also consider the moon phase for that date, which I did not include. How to use this:  The date on the left is the early morning after midnight on the day it will peak (so “October 7” is between midnight and sunrise on the morning of the 7th).  The constellation represents the point in the sky that the shower will “originate” from.  Choose someplace dark, away from city lights, and bring a blanket and a friend. Enjoy. To calculate the sunrise/sunset for your area on a specific date, go here. Many more details about each event can be found in this summary from EarthSky. Some events will favor the North or South Hemispheres, but such is life. Feel free to distribute freely! (Link to hi-res version)

Jonathan (my oldest son) getting a Finnish beating at bike polo. A couple of Finnish players took the ferry to play some Swedes. Mayhem ensued. (Click through to see more pictures, taken with my spanking new Nikon D7000.)

dadsaretheoriginalhipster: Your dad rode a fixie before you did and he’s got the track stand skills to prove it. He was a fearless street champion of the blacktop velodrome that fought steel giants for riding room. He gave the pedal honeys hot saddles when he showed off his fixie tricks and made road bikers look like bitches. He was rolling seduction with a single speed and the cadence of a hell-beast.  So hipsters, next time you’re skidding the back tire around or blowing through a stop sign because you can’t stop, remember this… Your dad was the first to know you don’t brake what is already fixed.  Thank you to njsideshowbob-tumblr for submitting today’s photo.  Keep submitting your photos to have your dad featured.
