A New Gig

By: Tim Neale

I have a new market writing about Space.

Univerese Today is a blog that covers space exploration and astronomy. The offer came out of work I was doing last year on Tomorrow is Here. Fraser Cain, who runs Universe Today, also runs the carnival of space, which often featured articles from Tomorrow is Here.

It turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax. No explosion, no plume, and so far no trace of water

On the bright side, I successfully piped my PC output through the TV using an s-video connection. But it only works when the cable TV box is on. I have no idea why so any suggestions would be welcome.
