As the title suggests, my blog has content from many sources. Being a professional nerd, there is a strong techy vibe here but my interests are varied and some will hopefully be of interest to the non-tech also.

7 Minutes Of Terror
As I'm sure you have all heard by now that NASA has successfully landed the "Curiosity" rover on to the surface of Mars with what appears to have been a perfect landing. The rover is basically a really expensive photographer that can film in HD, and in 360-degree panoramas. It represents a massive step forward in exploration, but the decent and landing had been described as "7 Minutes Of Terror" because the literally billions of things that could have gone wrong. Check out the video below. I think it makes for a great trailer for a nerdy film.
