A Poem for the Celebration

Carl Sagan’s works have profoundly influenced my life for the better and informed my whole way of thinking. I’m glad he lived.
I’m including a poem inspired in part by “Pale Blue Dot.” This poem uses religious terms – ‘God,’ ‘Hallelujah,’ but they aren’t intended in a literal, theistic sense. They have resonance because of my [...]

Cosmos and Love

When I was at turbulent time, I wrote this poem dedicated to a girl I loved inspired by Cosmos and by Mr. Sagan.
Los átomos de tu cuerpo
Alguna vez leíque en el inicio del universo,todos los átomosque componen la materia que lo formaestaban tan comprimidos que ocupaban el mismo espacio.Entonces imagino,todos los átomosque componen las moléculasque [...]

ReAnimated.

Hello. My name is Andrew Lyman, I am a scientist who bungled his way into Art School instead. I maintain a number of blogs, but I made a post for Dr. Sagan on my Young Team Manager Blog today in honor of the 10th Anniversary of his death.
The image was made as a joke [...]

Missing Carl Sagan

Bonnie-Ann Black writes:
I realized back in august, just before attending WorldCon, that Carl Sagan had been gone an incredible 10 years. I did several art pieces to sell at the convention, some of them prints, and they did sell fairly well. In tribute to the man and his work, I’m participating in the [...]

My Homage…

While I don’t want to plug my own music, my wife and I have a band called SAGAN and we released a cd/dvd movie called “Unseen Forces” – which is VERY informed by COSMOS. Here’s the trailer:
Unseen Forces
I still miss him.
Thats all.

When Carl Sagan Died, an Encore.

I was a geology major in college, and probably would have majored in astronomy had my college offered it. I also did graduate work in planetariums, and almost made that a career, but in the end, music won out.
Carl was a light in the darkness for me as he was for so [...]

When Carl Sagan Died

I’m writing to share with you one of the most wonderful songs I’ve ever heard. The subject of the song is Carl Sagan and it’s entitled, When Carl Sagan Died.
It is written and performed by an amazing guy named Greg Tamblyn. I first heard him sing this in church one day and went and bought [...]

Mural

I recall with great fondness watching Cosmos with my Grandfather. To a curious 10 year old boy, the show was amazing; and it was one of the few shows Grandpa even bothered to watch on television.
He grew up during the depression on a small, dust bowl ravaged farm in rural Oklahoma. [...]

Apple Pie Recipe

Here’s an old recipe, tried and true.
I often bring up Sagan’s quote when people say they’ve “built a PC from scratch” and such. Of course, I don’t say it to make a philosophical or cosmological point of any sort, but to be the sort of linguistic jackass you know me as.
