L2 bonus UP, afternoon section

Youse guys in the afternoon section 0002, your L2 early clicker bonus point is now UP.... but only if you have registered your ci>Clicker 2 is registered through Webcourses. Many of you have done so.

Observatory visits, open to all

Robinson Observatory will continue its (approximately) weekly Open Houses. All are welcome to bring family and friends and look through our telescopes.

The schedule for the fall semester is here: http://planets.ucf.edu/observatory/openhouse.

Do note that we do close for weather but we don't generally announce that until relatively late on the day. Check the website for last minute announcements to avoid an unnecessary drive. Directions to the observatory can be found on the website.

Hurricane Irene side effects today?



Just looked at satellite imagery and analysis of Hurricane Irene. We might start getting some rain bands today as it moves north, parallel to the coast.

Afternoon sec. 0002 bonus points sometime today

It looks like maybe lunchtime today that I will be getting to the bonus point from early i>Clicker2 registration for sec. 0002 (afternoon). Fear thou not! :D
