ECLIPSE: As we mentioned before, the Exploratorium is having a solar eclipse viewing slumber party. And for those of you non-agoraphobes who won't be watching it on Second Life, head over to Cow Hollow for a slumber party/eclipse viewing party. Be sure to pack your sleeping bag or blanket for an old-fashion camp out on the museum floor. The museum cafe will be open from 9 p.m.-midnight, but bringing a picnic lunch - especially for those of your ingesting spiked brownies - is strongly encouraged. (Conversely, you can watch the sun-blocking action at home here or here, streamed live from China.)

As if you needed any more proof that an eclipse is a demonic portent of doom, the Exploratorium has announced that it will be sending an expedition to someplace near Mongolia to videotape the eclipse on July 31 ... . Not, like, into the sky of Second Life -- just onto a big virtual projection screen, which your avatars can then gather around and stare at until distracted by a crowd of furries humping a leprechaun.
