Last night, jim and i went to the mandingo ambassadors show in park slope and i HIGHLY recommend them. They play every wednesday, the room was packed, everyone was dancing, and it was worth the trek across the boros. trust me. it is so great hearing a music tradition so close to my own (haitian). i am so curious how it possibly was transported and sustained from africa. if it has common roots or that it was real time influence. one word for this crew. TIGHT. TIIIIIGGGHHHTTTT. Here is the gothamlist. Note the comedy show listed. Looks GOOD.

Science, media, art, movies, politics, and what else I find interesting tweeting and reading on the internet. And ITP.
Nasa's Image of the Day
Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA
