			I'm not sure. My son the Astrophysicist was showing telling me about it.  I'll have to ask specifically if you can't find it. I don't know if it is available for iPhone though....this was for Android that I was mentioning. Last edited by kennyc; 05-21-2010 at 12:45 PM. |

  This morning I went to an appointment with my orthopedist. He gave me an RX for two other months of leave from work. I have mixed feelings about it. On the good side, I got my tracking number for the shipment of my iPad so I'll get to play with that for a long time.  On the bad side... money. And a stranded customer...  I have permission to start putting weight on the injured leg, that means that as soon as I can walk without crutches I can "officially" drive.   .....   | |

			I think I've seen it.  A friend was showing it to me.  It uses GPS to determine where you are and display the night sky for your location, whether or not you can actually see the sky.  He said that if he and his 12 year old daughter agreed it was the "coolest app evar!", it must have something going for it. What it didn't seem to do was let you select an object and display information about it, which would be coolness squared. ______ Dennis |

 You can type in "Mars" and it will show you where it is in the sky. I've emailed my son....will confirm when I hear from him. | |

			Those are great, but what is that fiery one? Is someone roasting the Geico gecko? Is Clark burning his symbol  into a Gaspésie rock? It looks almost like lava.
