Space Case
Obvious lesson #2568987986: It's harder to blog when you have a job that's ... engaging.
This little piece from Slate explains the science around a no-spacesuit spacewalk. Assuming it's accurate (it mostly seems plausible to me, though I'd have thought air embolisms would happen almost instantaneously), that's pretty darn cool. Not something I ever want to attempt, but cool that now I know I maybe could if I had to.
Also, you might want to consider a booster for your Hepatitis B vaccine.
