Just a quick Sunday post to keep up my Alexa ranking numbers you guys lol. Just a few things that caught my eye over the weekend, keeping it light…

100,000 Stars. You have NOT seen anything like it, I guarantee it. Bonus if you are under the influence of substances, so trippy is unreal. Take the tour. You WILL learn so much!
Pets on Private Jets You gotta be kidding me, check out this dog. I am sure it belongs to a Titan blogger!
Wanderlust: a Genetic Basis to a Globetrotting Fanatic – psychologyblogaimee Well, the gene’s name is DRD4-7R “this gene could be the motivation behind the yearning to travel, to move and to see the world: as it possibly did with our ancient ancestors.”
The Friend – Esquire This is one of the most gripping (and super depressing) reads in a long long time. You have been warned. How one guy coped with his wife battling ovarian cancer and his friend who stood by them. Please no whining about your late pre departure drinks!
All right, let’s not end in that note. How about a short video of Alex Honnold climbing the Bugaboos.
Wow, Boarding Area ad revenue is way down. Which corresponds to what the industry publications and one of my clients (veteran in this industry) have been telling me, among others. Let’s take this in the comments…
This just in the TBB newsroom!

Those stars! What a trip! It seems there just has to be other life out there!
If 100,000 stars is a mind blower, consider there are roughly 70 Billion Trillion stars in the (currently known) universe. There are ~100 Billion galaxies. The Milky Way alone has close to 300 Billion stars…
If we really are the only “intelligent” species (only somebody with supreme hubris and incredible lack of perspective would even dare think such a silly thing), I pity the universe for being so unlucky to end up with such pathetic Beings as us. Honestly, we are proof there isn’t a God. Nobody would design such a bunch of bozos if they were omniscient and all-powerful. We are just a sad accident that will be wiped out soon enough, almost surely through our own stupidity. But if not, an asteroid, virulent plague or nuclear catastrophe will do it. We don’t have to wait for the Sun to go supernova to wipe us out – we’ll be gone eons before that. And the Universe will be better for it.
Thanks for cheering up my Sunday, Carl Sagan.
Numbers like “70 Billion Trillion” makes my head dizzy!
Hey Paul, we’ll be okay. Not sure about our grandkids’s kids though lol.
Having lost my mom to a four-year battle with lung and brain cancer in December, I can definitely relate a lot to the “The Friend” article — It somehow manages to accurately capture the grief, joy, and relief in an accurate yet heartbreaking manner. It was exactly what I needed tonight, and I dare say you fulfilled all three aspects of your goal to entertain, educate, and inspire… Thanks so much for sharing as always.
No, thank you! Comments like yours sure help this little web corner of mine to keep going.
A more pensive Buzz this Sunday.
Second.
Ok, be that way. Make it third.
And now fourth too.
Your comeback was really funny!
F Brady!
Yeah, wish his balls were more deflated…I would prefer they were crashed actually 🙂
As I promised about that ad revenue, interesting comment:

I talked about this many months ago. I was hideously attacked by a blogger in my “Like” list for not having a clue. I shook my head in disbelief and let it go. This proves I knew what I was talking about all along…like there was any doubt about that.
