The full Moon will loom larger in the sky on Friday than it has since 1993, as it will be nearly as close as it ever comes to Earth in its orbit.

The Nightly Feeding
Go to Jack’s weblog to see some photos he took of the horses during the the nightly feeding. Despite the difficulty of taking photos of dark (mainly) horses in the dark, you can determine that we don’t have the usual problem of keeping weight on elderly horses. (I obsess a bit on the subject: our first boarder was an elderly, very thin, Thoroughbred gelding named Dugan. I felt like hanging a sign on him: “This horse gets as much food as is safe for him to eat.”)
Responsible Recycling

Koobface
One of my coworkers was just hit with the trojan horse mentioned in this article: Facebook Virus Turns Your Computer into a Zombie. As always, the best advice is don’t open attachments that you aren’t expecting.
Netflix Origami
Tired of throwing out Netflix envelopes? Recycle them using the designs at NetFlix Origami (Hint: regular thin paper would work as well.)

Conjunction
Jack and I saw this conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus as we drove home last night. The photo on Flickr was taken in Colorado by zyrcaster.
