I know I’m harping a bit on how great WordPress 2.5 is, but here’s some eye candy:
The admin backend is extensively pluggable; it’s really easy to create colour themes, and someone has created a plugin that makes it “Stylish Blue“.
I can’t wait to give this sort of awesome interface to my blog service users over at PersonalLog.

Yesterday evening, I posted a post about the lunar eclipse, letting readers know that it was happening. I had taken a few pictures, but they’re not good enough to publish.
However, I’d like to direct your attention to some articles on Canadian news sites: CTV and newsdurhamregion.com.
One could also see a very bright Saturn to the left of the moon. Some on the West Coast reported also seeing the trail of the U.S. satellite (with secret technologies) that was shot down by the U.S. navy — read this Reuters article.
CTV.ca posted the following two images on their site; these are very much representative of the beautiful sight last night.

There will be a lunar eclipse tonight at about 20:43 EST, visible all across Canada, and parts of the U.S. It’s interesting, because I just looked out the window and I see a bright moon in a clear sky. It’s going to be a very entertaining — albeit slow — experience. (This isn’t very relevant to the blog’s major topics, though.)
Sources say that at 22:01 EST, the Earth’s shadow will completely block the moon. Reddish light from the sun will cause the moon to appear eerily irregular. The Globe and Mail has an informative article.
Stay tuned… I will strive to take pictures and post them tomorrow.
