       Hi, SI Fans! This Friday is THE Friday, not the other Friday, if you
know what I mean...

on the subject of, uh, subjects:

I have a Nikon F100. I'm thinking of getting a fish eye lens, but of course

I saw a very cool slide (not digital) that had a picture of the
movement of the stars over a twenty minute period of time. Suposedly
