The JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped this shot of Jupiter’s northern latitudes on Dec. 11, 2016 at 8:47 a.m. PST (11:47 a.m. EST), as the spacecraft performed a close flyby of the gas giant planet. The spacecraft was at an altitude of 10,300 miles (16,600 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops. This stunning view of the high north temperate latitudes fortuitously shows NN-LRS-1, a giant storm known as the Little Red Spot (lower left).

I really struggle to keep in touch with folks. One of the factors for this is that I don’t use many of the mainstream apps folks use to communicate online. Specifically, Facebook or Whatsapp.

So… in hope that folks will start using some of the tools I use, and therefore help me in terms of keeping in touch, I wrote the article below, reposted from my work blog.

Update 23/02: I’ve being testing “Wire“. Really like what they doing, more on that once I’m sure I’m keeping it.

Ended the year with a strong Parkrun with Ang on Saturday. Was a great race with 466 runners! Finished in the top 30%, which is not to bad but was very chuffed to run my best 5k time this year! Congratulations on completing your 45th parkrun and your 45th at Kidds Beach parkrun today. You finished in 130th place and were the 102nd male out of a field of 466 parkrunners and you came 9th in your age category VM40-44. Take a look at this week’s full set of results…

My good friend Muddy past today. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. A father to my oldest and dearest friend, my friend and the Aquila’s skipper for more hours of spearfishing than I can count. Thank you for all the laughter (often at your own expense), for the hours on the boat skippering for us, the fish we caught and ate, for opening your home to me for over 25 years and always making me feel welcome. Fair winds and following seas my Friend.
