It's no secret that the people in my household are nerds. We wear our nerd-dom with pride. So when Khan Academy recently sent me an email with this video in it about Neil Degrasse-Tyson and Superman, everyone in the house was amazed. I'm not sure how we missed it for a year. But I thought I'd share it with all of you.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area, we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
OK, we do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

I'd never thought of the fact that Superman should be able to watch the destruction of his birth-planet. It makes you wonder how those other people from Krypton keep showing up in the comics. Maybe they're hiding out on other planets? Maybe they were away when Krypton was destroyed? None of them seem to be up to any good though.
So what are your plans for the weekend? Are you planning on watching any good movies? Reading any good books? Or do you have a list of chores a mile long to complete?
