The Face of Beauty

Few sights in the solar system are more strikingly beautiful than softly hued Saturn embraced by the shadows of its stately rings.
The gas planet’s subtle northward gradation from gold to azure is a striking visual effect that scientists don’t fully understand. Current thinking says that it may be related to seasonal influences, tied to the cold temperatures in the northern (winter) hemisphere. Despite Cassini’s revelations, Saturn remains a world of mystery.

Currently, the rings’ shadows shield the mid-northern latitudes from the harshest of the sun’s rays. As Saturn travels around the sun in its 29-year orbit, the shadows will narrow and head southward, eventually blanketing the opposite hemisphere. For more, please read here.

Have been reading Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince, pretty interesting. Popular Bookstore is selling the Bloomsbury Adult Version for RM59.90, the usual market price would be RM99.90. Spells and magic have always facinate me, so it’s no surprise I’ve taken a liking to it.

I’ve also enjoyed Dan Brown’s books very much. In fact, I’ve finished The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, as well as Deception Point. Still half way through Digital Fortress, but I suspect I’ll continue & finish it some day. Once I’ve read one book, I can pretty much guess the villian for the others, the most unexpected one would be the answer. ;) The Da Vinci Code movie is going to be shown in cinemas as well, starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, Audrey Tautou as Sophie Neveu and Ian McKellen as Sir Leigh Teabing. I love Audrey Tautou’s acting skills very much personally, famous in french movies such as Amelie. Robert Langdon is suppose to be smartly handsome, duno if Tom Hanks can pass this but we’ll see. As for Ian Mckellen aka Gandalf, I’m pretty sure I would not be disappointed.

Ever guess How Much is Your Blog Worth? Well I’ve found this:
Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, this little applet has been created using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.




My blog is worth $2,822.70.
How much is your blog worth?


Well not bad, isn’t it, that’s like RM8K, haha :P However, as you try to check how much is your blog worth, you’ll soon find out that this figure is easily reachable. Since it’s calculated by amount of posts and I’ve only just started not long ago, those of you out there who’s been blogging for quite some time should be getting a lot more ;)
