they have no idea

Such a geek.

This is an rss feed of stars within my personal lightcone*. That is, the stars with which I could possibly have any causal relationship, since my birth.

12 Ophiuchi is only 2 weeks away! It would be physically impossible for the good denizens of 12 Ophiuchi to have any idea what’s on its way right now.** In two weeks, though: a sudden onslaught of geeky causality, baby!

OK, actually my birth probably didn’t make much of a dent in the fabric of geek spacetime.

Here, put in your birthdate (as, eg, 1981-12-09) to get your own lightcone feed:

(w/kudos to interconnected.org.)

* It’s an rss feed, so the link there may do something weird for you.
** Admittedly, “now” is a complicated word when light cones are involved.
