I am the founder and co-owner of Ninth Division [9D]. There we build iOS apps, mobile web applications and have the most fun at a job ever. I am a hobbyist photographer, very amateur racer , and love of bike riding.
Music of the week:
It's Saturday night almost midnight. I was 10 years old and probably staying at my grandma's house for the weekend. I quickly would rush to the television and turn on PBS; never since Sesame Street was I excited PBS. "Star Gazer" was about to come on the air for it's 5 minute episode of the week. I love the goofy music and (sometimes) goofy way Jack would talk about this weeks astronomy highlights. There was always a highlight of the week; special planets in view to something unique about a specific star.
My heart sank today when I learned that Jack Horkeimer died on Friday at the age of 72. He (unknowingly) taught me so much about the stars. His show illustrated clearly that we here on Earth are so small compared this huge universe that we can get a glimpse of every single night; just by looking up.
His last episode that he filmed was about the "Summer Triangle." For the rest of my life, I know every labor day weekend I will see Altair, Deneb, and Vega and be reminded of Jack, my childhood and the big universe that is out there. Below is the last video he did (good news, you don't have to wait until midnight tonight to watch it).

Splintr.com did a great job on a documentary of Nine Inch Nails' during their Wave Goodbye tour. The documentary is about 18 minutes and it has some well produced live videos as well! GO CHECK IT OUT!
David, outspoken and interesting as always. (the video won't embed here for whatever reason)
