Pluto's Neighborhood Gets More Interesting

I must be off my game since I just found out that scientists have discovered two more natural satellites of Pluto. Apparently, they were sighted many months ago, but I missed that news.

In case you're wondering, they've been named Nix and Hydra.

Don't get me wrong—Earth's Moon is totally awesome. But doesn't it seem strange that the tiny icy rock called Pluto now has three moons, and the best planet in the universe only has one?

Air 1 is now available in Oklahoma City

I've listened to K-LOVE for a couple years, but sometime I want a little more variety. When I've visited Wichita, I got to listen to K-LOVE's edgier sister station, Air 1. Many of the songs were unfamiliar to me, but the more I listened to it the more I wanted a station in my city. But I couldn't listen to Air 1 where I live ... until very recently.

In May 2006, EMF (the parent organization of K-LOVE and Air 1) bought KOKF (90.9 FM in the Oklahoma City area). Since Oklahoma City already had K-LOVE, 90.9 FM became an Air 1 station. I know that some people are sad that the old local-controlled KOKF is gone (oddly enough, the old website still seems to be there, though), but I think I'll listen to Air 1 a lot more than I listened to the old KOKF. I hope that the people who have listened to 90.9 for years give Air 1 a chance.
