Rubinius, What's Next?
On Tuesday, we released version 1.2.1 (see the Release notes). This release weighs in at 256 commits and 21 tickets closed in the 56 calendar days since the release of 1.2.0. Many thanks to those who contributed patches and to everyone who helped us test it.
While we were working on 1.2.1, we were also working on a Top Secret project that we've craftily hidden in plain sight. I'd like to introduce the work we are doing on the hydra branch and the features you can expect to see in Rubinius soon.
Daedalus - A new build system
Rubinius is a fairly complex project. It combines multiple components into a single system. We have worked hard to contain this complexity and from the beginning we insisted that building Rubinius be as simple as possible. For example, Rubinius can be run from the source directory, there is no need to install it first. Typically, building requires:
The Rubinius system combines:
- External libraries written in C/C++, sometimes built with just Makefiles and sometimes using autotools.
- The virtual machine, garbage collector, and JIT compiler written in C++.
- The virtual machine interpreter instructions, including support code for the JIT, and instruction documentation all generated at build time from an instruction template.
- The core library and bytecode compiler written in Ruby.
- Various C extensions like the Melbourne parser, BigDecimal, Digest, and OpenSSL libraries. In the case of the parser, we have to build two versions, one for the bootstrapping system and one for the Rubinius system being built.
It has not been easy to make this work and over the years we have compiled a list of exactly what we need in a build system. Evan, in typical form, started hacking out a first pass and created daedalus, our new build system. It features such exotic (and extremely useful) features as SHA-based change detection, parallel builds, single-process execution, and use-aware configuration options. Allow me to elaborate.
- A typical build system decides to rebuild a file if the source is newer than the build artifact. This can result is unnecessarily building files that have been touched by some process (like updating from the source repository) but whose contents have not changed. By basing rebuild decisions on the SHA digest of the source, only files that have actually been changed need to be built. Since compiling C++ with optimizations is not a fast process, eliminating unnecessary building is great for productivity, not to mention global warming.
- With a multi-core system, builds can be done faster if they are done in parallel. If the build system can accurately determine dependencies, it can execute build sub-steps in parallel. Of course, this can cut into YouTube and Twitter browsing time, but that's a risk we are willing to take.
- While parallel sub-processes during the build are excellent, the supervising process benefits from running as a single process from start to finish. Otherwise, configuration data needs to be re-parsed. To support a single build process, we need multiple, independent dependency graphs for the components. As noted above, we need to build two versions of the parser, which requires two dependency graphs for the same component! This is simply impossible in Rake.
- Use-aware configuration values know that the user has set the value and can intelligently merge with newer configuration variables that we create without requiring the user to reconfigure. Ultimately, we are aiming for a single command build. Just run 'daedalus' and done. There is no step 2.
Full-on Concurrency
Nobody likes waiting in line. In fact, the more desirable a thing is, the less we want to stand idly waiting in a line for it, tapping our foot, twiddling our thumbs. The same could be said about our programs.
Threads give us the ability to add concurrency to our programs. However, unless the hardware either has multiple CPUs or multiple cores per CPU (or both), the apparent concurrency will still be executing serially. Since there are so many multi-core CPUs around these days, our programs should be getting stuff done in parallel.
Unfortunately, there's a twist. Even with native threads on a multi-core CPU, the amount of parallelism you get depends on how well you manage locks around shared data and resources. Sometimes managing these locks is complex and you opt for one big lock, essentially only allowing one thread at a time to run. That big lock is usually called a global interpreter lock (GIL) or global VM lock (GVL).
The Rubinius VM originally had green (user-space) threads, but it has had native threads with a GIL for a while now. In the hydra branch, Evan and contributors like Dirkjan Bussink have been working on replacing the GIL with fine-grained locks so that threads truly execute in parallel. This work has been going very well, owing in part to the fact that so much code in Rubinius is actually written in Ruby. Contributors like Chuck Remes have been running hydra under heavy concurrency loads and Rubinius is performing well.
Rubinius also has experimental support for Fibers and a built-in Actor library. There is more work to be done but Rubinius is quickly becoming an excellent platform for concurrency, with a variety of approaches available to the programmer. Evan has also suggested rewriting the Rubinius IO subsystem to enable even better APIs for concurrency, all from Ruby.
Forget everything anyone has ever told you about Ruby being slow. There are two things that make Ruby, as implemented, slow: 1) inexperience; 2) inadequate tools. These two result in one big thing: doing too much. Or, as they say: No code runs faster than no code. We have been working for 4+ years to build adequate tools in Rubinius, and there is plenty of experience in Smalltalk, Self, and other languages for making dynamic languages fast.
Presently, Rubinius typically runs pure Ruby code almost 2 times faster than MRI 1.9. However, there are also cases where Rubinius is slower. These mostly involve core libraries that are implemented in C in MRI. There are three main fronts on which we are attacking performance issues: 1) improving the algorithms in the Ruby code that implements the core library; 2) continuing to tune the VM and garbage collector; and 3) improving the JIT compiler. Which leads me to one of the most exciting things we are working on…
JIT Intermediate Representation (IR)
The just-in-time (JIT) compiler is the key to making Ruby fast. One of the biggest challenges with a dynamic language like Ruby is knowing what method is actually being invoked when a message is sent to an object. Consider the following code:
class A
def m(x)
class B
def m(x)
class C
def work(obj)
What method is being invoked by
obj.m(y)? There is no way to definitively
know this by looking at the source code. However, when the program is actually
running, we can know precisely what
obj is and precisely which method
was invoked. This is called type profiling and that is exactly what the Rubinius
VM does. Then the JIT uses the type information to make decisions like whether
to inline a method into another method. When methods are inlined, it gives the
optimizer more data and more possibilities to remove redundant code. The less
code we can run, the faster Ruby will be.
Presently, the JIT compiler converts Rubinius bytecode into LLVM IR and LLVM handles the thorny task of generating machine code. However, Rubinius bytecode is designed for fast execution by the virtual machine rather than as a rich intermediate representation. So Evan has started work on a new JIT IR.
This new IR will help us to express Ruby semantics in a way that enables many powerful optimizations and will ultimately allow LLVM to generate even better machine code. Put another way, Rubinius loves Ruby code! Right down to the metal. There's no fighting a foreign type system or the semantics of a language at odds with Ruby's rosy view of the world.
Ruby 1.9
MRI 1.9 introduced two completely different changes to Ruby. The first was a new implementation based on a bytecode virtual machine. While the virtual machine replaced the AST-walking interpreter, little else changed architecturally. Mostly the same core library and garbage collector code exists in MRI 1.9 as was in MRI 1.8. The second change introduced some new syntax (minor) and encodings (major). Many of the other changes, for example, returning Enumerator objects from methods that take blocks, have been back-ported to Ruby 1.8.7 and are already available in Rubinius.
So, the key to supporting Ruby 1.9 in Rubinius essentially involves supporting the 1.9 syntax changes and encodings. We have begun implementing the parser changes and introduced the foundation for Encoding-aware Strings. A good amount of work remains to be done, but over the next month we expect that we will be starting to run Ruby 1.9-specific code in Rubinius.
Tools of Information
It has been said that
printf is the mother of all debuggers. That
illustrates two points: 1) data is often buried in our program code; and 2) we
should have tools (e.g. a debugger) that enables us to access the data without
manually instrumenting our code.
Presently, Rubinius has a built-in debugger, precise method profiler, memory analysis tool, and Agent interface that permits querying a running Rubinius VM–even one running on a remote machine–for a variety of information.
We will be adding the ability to track the location where objects are allocated to assist finding object leaks or code that is creating unusually large numbers of objects. We are also working on a tool to graphically display information like number of running threads, amount of CPU usage, and amount of memory used while actively monitoring a VM.
I am also curious about correlating this VM information with external data to enable play-back review. For example, I would like to monitor RubySpec runs and correlate which spec is running with the VM data. I imagine a simple monotonic reference ID provided by the VM would be useful in correlating these two otherwise unrelated pieces of data. The RubySpec runner would request the ID before running each spec and the Agent monitor would request the ID when gathering VM data. Later the two data sets could easily be merged.
When you find yourself manually instrumenting some code, consider what data you are trying to get your hands on and let us know the scenario. We'll likely be able to build a tool that will open up new vistas into the behavior of your Ruby programs.
However one may feel about Windows as an operating system, it is undeniable that the vast majority of people in the world use Windows. We believe those people have an inalienable right to use Rubinius, too.
Thanks to the wonderful, hard-working MinGW-w64 folks, we are able to compile the Rubinius VM into a native Windows executable. Presently, the VM will compile, link, and attempt to load the Ruby core library. More platform-specific work is needed to load the library. The next step after that will be getting the RubySpecs to run and start fixing issues.
Since the Windows work is being done on the hydra branch, the other features discussed above will be available on Windows as soon as we complete them.
The Rubinius VM began as an effort to create a modern, first-class environment for running programs written in Ruby. However, it turns out that Ruby is a terrific language for writing subsystems for other programming languages. Actually, this should come as no surprise; Ruby is a fabulous general purpose programming language.
To support experimenting with writing other languages that run on the Rubinius VM, Evan has started to put together a Language Toolkit. This includes things like a built-in PEG parser, convenient ways to create methods from Rubinius bytecode, and decoupling method dispatch from Ruby semantics.
Hopefully, Evan will introduce us to all this in a future blog post, but here is a taste of what you can do:
class Hello
dynamic_method :world do |g|
g.push :self
g.push_literal "Hello, world"
g.send :puts, 1, true
Of course, that is much more concisely written in Ruby, but combine this ability with a built-in PEG parser and you can be experimenting with your own fascinating syntax in a matter of minutes.
Check out the Rubinius Projects page for some of these language experiments. One language in particular is Fancy, which is fully bootstrapped (i.e. the Fancy compiler is now written in Fancy) on Rubinius.
One the one hand, Rubinius just runs Ruby code, and you shouldn't need any special knowledge to run your application on Rubinius. On the other hand, as I've discussed above, there are some specific Rubinius features that may be very helpful to you. However, they can only be as helpful as the documentation we have for them.
Before we released 1.2.0 in December last year, I spent quite a bit of time getting a new documentation system in place. Since then, we've had contributors help with translations to Russian, Polish, Spanish, and German. Adam Gardiner started documenting the garbage collector algorithms. Yehuda Katz (you may have heard the name) has contributed documentation for the bytecode compiler complete with diagrams!. Chuck Remes wrote up a great piece on the memory analysis tool.
We really appreciate these contributions. We understand the need for great documentation and we have been creating better support for it. In many cases, all that is needed is to just open a file and start writing. Of course, one cannot expect to understand much about Rubinius without digging into the code. If there is a particular part of Rubinius that you are curious about, jump in the #rubinius channel on freenode.net and ask us questions. We can point you in the right direction and help clarify things. If nothing else, let us know which part of the missing documentation is most important to you and we can start filling that in.
How you can help
There you have it, some super exciting things coming very soon for Rubinius and for Ruby! We would love to have your help making Rubinius even better. The most important thing you can do is try running your Ruby code. Give us feedback. Let us know what features or tools would make your life easier. Help us to build them.
Rubinius adopts Ruby's rosy view of the world. We want to empower you to solve your hardest problems with Ruby, and have fun doing it.

Since they're directional tires, is there a part # for the other side?
They have the same part number, they are packaged and sold in pairs with one of each in each package.
Does this fit on the Traxxas Slash 4x4 1/16?
This would technically fit the slash 1/16th but you would need to raise the body a bit. Or you may have to trim the body a bit.
Is this 1 or 2 sets?
These come in pairs so there are 2 in each package.
does this fit the rear wheels of the 1/16 erevo vxl?
Yes, that wheel will fit on the front or rear of the 1/16 E-revo.

Dan Janison has been a reporter at Newsday since 1997.
Front-running mayoral hopeful Bill de Blasio now reaches a peculiar place -- one known strictly to candidates who hold huge leads in polls less than a week before Election Day.
It would be seen as crass and divisive to start handing out appointments before a single vote is counted. All the same, a de Blasio ally argues it would also be "irresponsible" to put off all internal discussion of a transition.
Latest columns
"He's talking to a lot of people and getting ideas," said another source. "People are sending in names." And, de Blasio has been "relying on a small group of advisers" but also speaks with people outside the campaign.
"He's been doing a lot of listening."
The next mayor's appointments will hold fascination in the political world for those waiting to see the caliber and political orientation of his team. Both de Blasio and his GOP opponent Joe Lhota pledge broad change, and their who's who of potential aides might symbolize it.
Emma Wolfe, formerly chief of staff in the public advocate office, is expected to have a transition role if de Blasio wins as expected. Her resume includes election campaigns director for the Working Families Party and organizing roles for 1199/SEIU and the activist group ACORN.
Others who insiders said are being consulted are former Clinton administration aide lawyer Harold Ickes; Peter Madonia, once a chief of staff to Mayor Michael Bloomberg; and John Banks III, vice president for government relations at Con Edison, who worked with Council Speaker Peter Vallone Sr.
Other transition names are bandied about by different sources -- including a couple from the Dinkins administration, the last Democratic mayoralty, for which de Blasio and his wife Chirlane McCrary both worked.
Transition teams involving scores of people offer incoming elected leaders a chance to cast a wide net for talent -- but also to make gestures of broad-mindedness and outreach. Bloomberg's advisers, for example, included United Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's 2006 transition team for attorney general included lawyer Ed Cox, now the state Republican chairman.
Bloomberg drew from various camps when he began hiring for top slots during the last City Hall changeover in 2001-02. His transition team and administration came to include veterans of the staffs of predecessors Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani, of Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Vallone and private businesses.
Lawyer and former state official Lloyd Constantine chaired the 1998 Eliot Spitzer transition for attorney general and 2006 transition for governor.
"De Blasio should already have his chair and transition team selected and they should be getting the top 25 appointments organized with three choices for each and some preliminary interviews conducted as well," said Constantine, who wasn't involved in the mayoral race. "There should be a very clear plan for the first three to six months."

From the website and Handpicked Tomatoes:
Transparent and Holistic Approach
Transparency is good. It's amazing how many web design sites hide who they are. There are lots of reasons, none of which are good for the customer. We don't do that. I'm Stephen Kane, principal web craftsman at HandpickedTomatoes, and I'm an Orange County based freelancer who occasionally works with other local freelancers and agencies to deliver quality web solutions at very affordable prices. We work to earn the right to be a trusted partner. One that you can turn to for professional help in strategizing, developing, executing, and maintaining your Internet presence. We take a holistic view. Even if a project is small, our work should integrate into the big picture. We craft web architecture and designs that become winning websites that are easy to use and to share. We custom build social network footprints on sites like linkedin, facebook, twitter, youtube, flickr, yelp!, and google places and integrate them into your website to leverage social marketing. We help you set up and execute email campaigns, with search engine marketing, with photography, with site copy and content and anything else that you need in order to have a successful Internet presence. Through this holistic approach, we work with clients to grow their sales, improve their brand recognition, and manage their online reputation.

University of Minnesota volleyball head coach Hugh McCutcheon has announced that Adrianna Nora (Stillwater, Minn.) will join the Golden Gopher program. Nora, who played two years with Baylor, will be with the Golden Gophers for the 2013 campaign.
"We are very excited to have Adrianna join our team," McCutcheon said."She is a great addition to the Gopher Volleyball program and we could not be happier with her decision to join us."
A 6-foot, 3-inch middle blocker/right-side hitter, Nora played the past two seasons with the Baylor Bears. In 2012, she played in 29 matches, started in 24, and ranked fourth on the team in points per set (2.74). Averaging 2.17 kills per set, Nora also had a team-best 98 total blocks and 1.00 blocks per set. As a freshman, Nora was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team and two all-tournament honors, including Most Valuable Player at the 2011 UNLV Classic. As a rookie, she saw action in 28 matches and ranked fourth on team in kills (234) and third in kps (2.63). With Stillwater High School, Nora helped the Ponies to their first-ever state tournament and back-to-back conference titles her junior and senior seasons. As a senior, Nora earned all-state honors as well as four-straight all-conference honors. Adrianna is the daughter of Marty and Judi Nora.
"I'm very excited to be returning back to the state of Minnesota and am ready to become a Golden Gopher," Nora said. "I'm looking forward to be coached by one of the best coaching staffs in the world and to compete at such a high level. I have always agreed with the saying "wherever you go, go with all your heart" and am so thankful for a new start and a great opportunity to get better."

Vehicular ad hoc networks are designed to increase traffic safety by enabling fast reactions of drivers in critical situations. Vehicles exchange beacon messages about their current state and position using wireless communication to establish a certain level of awareness. Based on the received information, the collision probability with neighboring vehicles can be calculated. To calculate a collision probability accurately, highly up-to-date knowledge about the movement of potential collision partners is required. Due to the dynamic network topology, vehicles are supposed to send periodic beacons at an increased transmit rate. However, as wireless communication suffers from packet interference issues in saturated communication channels, an increased beacon rate also raises the interference probability. Thus, decreasing interference by increasing the awareness level seems contradictory. To overcome this issue, we introduce our beaconing as a service (BaaS) approach, which follows two core aspects: first, controlling the beacon rate intelligently with respect to the real benefit of a message transmission (e.g., when a vehicle detects a potential collision situation); and second, utilizing the overall communication bandwidth, which is divided into several communication channels. In this sense BaaS specifies a context-aware request/response beaconing strategy utilizing multiple channels simultaneously.

I spent Christmas day in this lodge with my family. We had 2 lovely rooms, one being a cottage. Both were comfortable but the cottage seemed quite bare. The shower curtain was dirty too.
The restaurant was very busy at the time; it's the 1st restaurant ive heard telling a guest they cant prepare 'black' tea since they are too busy. The staff were so busy, you'd have to wait for ages to be seated & they didnt have time to clean up the tables/floor either.
The only reason i'm giving it a "very good " review instead of average is due to the service we received from the wait staff & especially the lady in charge. Food was lovely, definitely no complaints whatsover in that area. The pool was also lovely.
I'd still recommend this lodge; we still had a grand time especially during such a busy season.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Osoita Lodge is named after the Maasai word 'Soito' meaning 'Stones'. Osoita Lodge was designed and built by the owners themselves and that personalized touch is evident all across the lodge. All raw materials used in construction and furniture were extracted from the very ground where Osoita Lodge stands today. Osoita Lodge is located in Ongata Rongai, (also locally known as Rongai or simply 'Rongaa'). Rongai falls in the Olekassasi township which is a settlement in Kenya's Kajiado County, located between the Kaputiei plains and the Western slopes of the Ngong hills. Osoita is conveniently adjacent to the Nairobi National Park plus close to other major tourist attractions around Nairobi. Osoita's design is based on a traditional setup but with a modern twist. The lodge sports makuti thatching and makes use of traditional building materials and beautiful rustic furniture that brings out an authentic African touch. The lodge is setup within a tranquil, lush green environment with the seasonal River Kandisi running at the very edge of the lodge. A picturesque, rugged typography with a cool, homely feel characterizes the surrounding and ambience at Osoita Lodge. Osoita Lodge has a total of 27 rooms. 8 Balcony rooms on the upper level overlook the swimming pool and 11 standard rooms all built with natural materials bringing out a rough, rustic exterior, whilst the interior finish is cozy and contains all the modern comforts you might need. In August 2014, we also opened our newest wing with 8 new rooms that stay true to the spirit of Osoita by fusing tradition with modernity. All our rooms are equipped with private bathrooms and toilets en-suite, digital safes, reading lamps, mosquito nets and free, strong WiFi Internet. ... more less

Just returned from the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas. It was a grand event with three days of serious business nicely interspersed with fun. With fifteen tracks to choose from, it had sessions for every IT role from developer to CIO, every cloud-based technology, companies of all sizes from startups to global enterprises, and partners to customers.
I have been working with AWS for four years now, and have attended almost all of their events. I have seen the attendance grow every time. But, this time, it was a big jump – something beyond my expectations. Six-thousand people attended the conference. It was very impressive!
So, what has really changed to attract such a huge crowd? One thing I noticed from my conversations with other attendees was that the proportion of enterprise IT personnel (as against those from startups) was significantly higher than on previous occasions. This was a very positive sign for AWS showing that their cloud is actively being considered as a viable option in a domain that was until now quite reluctant to adopt it. And, going by the indicators from the conference, AWS understands this trend very well. I noticed a shift in their sales and marketing strategy. All along, I had been urging cloud vendors to take a global view of the enterprise if they really wanted to make a strong bid for the corporate IT market which has the lion's share within the total IT spend. AWS seems to be doing just that.
In its early stages of evolution, technology has been the key selling point for the cloud. It's been the next "cool" thing that every individual developer loves to work with. As a result, we have mostly seen individual cases of one-off applications put up on the cloud from these enterprises and not the entire portfolio of applications. At its highest level, enterprise IT is all about strategy, management and processes. It's the cloud operational model that carries greater value for it than just the technology. Therefore, when focusing on such enterprise ITs, cloud vendors first need to help them develop a roadmap for transitioning to this new model. Developing an enterprise-wide strategy to rationalize their application and infrastructure portfolios for cloud-suitability, establish a new governance structure and alter their older processes would make it very easy for them to transition to the cloud and, in the process, generate more business for the vendors by having multiple applications and environments (not just one) migrated to the cloud.
At this conference, I saw this new partnership between enterprise customers and cloud vendors beginning to take shape. Both the parties see the value in the up-front strategy / due diligence before diving into any cloud-based implementation. It is quite likely that after the initial strategy piece is completed, cloud adoption may make a slow start. In fact, some enterprises may prefer it that way until they get some level of confidence. But, having a strategy in place will help in setting priorities in order, defining a roadmap and allocating appropriate funding for every step in the way so that they can surge ahead at a later stage. Enterprises that follow this route will definitely be successful in their cloud adoption. Vendors who support them through this journey stand to gain similarly.

Before becoming a developer, I was in the high school band. I played several brass instruments - including French horn and cornet - as well as keyboards in the jazz stage band. A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band. Okay, mostly I wrote arrangements of pop music, so the band could keep the crowd entertained during Friday night football games. What struck me then was that, to write parts for all the instruments - brass, woodwind, percussion, even k...

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

This is a no-hype, pragmatic post about why I think you should consider architecting your next project the way SOA and/or microservices suggest. No matter if it's a greenfield approach or if you're in dire need of refactoring. Please note: considering still keeps open the option of not taking that approach. After reading this, you will have a better idea about whether building multiple small components instead of a single, large component makes sense for your project. This post assumes that you...

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

Node.js and io.js are increasingly being used to run JavaScript on the server side for many types of applications, such as websites, real-time messaging and controllers for small devices with limited resources. For DevOps it is crucial to monitor the whole application stack and Node.js is rapidly becoming an important part of the stack in many organizations. Sematext has historically had a strong support for monitoring big data applications such as Elastic (aka Elasticsearch), Cassandra, Solr, S...

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is almost three months into his five-month mission on the International Space Station.
In the time he's been away from Planet Earth, he has garnered legions of fans who connect with him via Twitter and Facebook—people who are not only interested in his work, but also in his amazing photographs that capture every corner of the globe from a unique perspective.
Chris Hadfield is a photographer. His keen eye has captured countless amazing shots of our earth—from the 16 sunrises he sees each day to the beauty of the moon at night. His lens has captured mountains, oceans, sandstorms in the desert and smoke from fires, all shared with the folks back home along with colorful anecdotes or facts.

He shares pictures of life inside the International Space Station—the pod he sleeps in, weightlessness and tying his running shoes while floating.
During his time away, Col. Hadfield has connected with people through appearances on television programs like the Rick Mercer Report, where he appeared in a skit about filing taxes. He's also participated in live conversations with groups of school kids who have had the rare opportunity to not only talk to someone who's in space, but ask questions about what life is like and how astronauts go about their daily lives.
March 13, 2013 at 5:10 p.m. ET, Col. Hadfield is set to take over as the commander of the International Space Station.
Want to see what life inside the International Space Station looks like? The Globe and Mail takes a look:
Terri Tremblett is a freelance writer and editor who also works in finance and dabbles in various artistic pursuits. She is equally at home walking the beach or digging in the dirt but has not yet mastered the art of walking by a book store without going in. Her education did not end when she finished university, as her life regularly proves. She can sometimes be found behind her camera, often taking pictures of her kids, and learning about photography along the way.
