Astronomy Picture of the Day -- the 'blog

You know what I think is most cool? I am the first one on the list! I am firstie! lalalalala! :) Awesomesauciest! :) OK, I’m done.

Just testing a possible logo.

...hmm... too big, too busy.

This is more like it, I think:

LOL!

My second version didn’t work right — but it will in a few minutes. I’ll be sure to ping ya. ;’)

I think the first is a little busy.

And I have a feeling most APODER’s spend a a bit too much time staring at white noise anyways.

New one's longer, but works nicely. I did hand-edit in the quarterly breaks, maybe I'll add that next year. ;')

There’s actually a WinDoh!s APOD thingie, found it here:

http://nightskylive.net/software/apod/

I haven’t tried it.

There’s also a gene called APOD, and I think I noticed some other stuff as well.

Hmm.... You know tho, for a long time I thought APOD was akin to an IPOD. :)

Well, it kinda is. Apple has reached the letter “i”, but had to make the aPod, bPod, cPod, and so on, before they got on that would sell. And yes, as a matter of fact, I did make that up.

LOL!

I was messing with your logo, but my program isn't saving the animation the way it should. Trying something in my movie editor was worse. I really need a faster, bigger one. It came out all weird. Wasn't supposed to be psychedelic.

This was what the pic is supposed to look like.

Both nice though!

Okay, oops, one more correction:
