I finally sat down this weekend and put together a few more t-shirt designs and set up a store at: http://www.zazzle.ca/jasanderlin
I will add a few obscure and amusing designs, most not related to Europa, as soon as I finish the graphics.
The Moon, Europa

Social Media
I went AWOL from Facebook for awhile because I was trying to maintain JUST the [author] page since it's difficult to do both. I've again created a profile that I will NOT maintain but my author page is back up and active. If you want to "like" me, you can find me at "J.A. Sanderlin." It will be the place I post most of the pictures.
Also, I do maintain a Twitter account: @authorjas if you want to follow me. It's mostly cool links that I've found but an occasional frustrated <140 character rant about writing and the like. Also, if you know of any really creative and clever Tweeters, please let me know.
And as always, you can find me here at least once a week posting about ... stuff.
Thanks for your interest!

10 years living 300 km above the earth ...
Happy Birthday ISS!
I think this feat is significant and sad at the same time. Significant because NASA, in cooperation with the science and technology of other countries, including Russia, has learned, and will continue to learn, a great deal about living in zero gravity, among other probably more amazing break-throughs. And I can imagine that there are many, many more discoveries to be made in the International Space Station (ISS) that will take decades to both find and see into fruition. However, I'm not a little sad about how we seem to have stalled at a relatively short distance away from Earth. Perhaps it's the overall lack of cooperation and thus funding. Perhaps it's the lack of vision of the popular vote (no offense). Perhaps it's that we're happy to have gone this far and are fine with this achievement. And while I'm not disputing that this achievement IS significant, I want to see us reach higher than this and start measuring in thousands of kilometers instead of hundreds.
