Weird clouds on Wired magazine

Some interesting looking clouds are shown on Wired with brief explanations about their formations.

I spotted Mammatus clouds and Kelvin-Helmholz waves after I have started looking up into the sky with an increased curiosity. I posted a few of them on my Picasa...

Sage - open source mathematics software

Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages into a common Python-based interface.

My words on Stories page:

Sage is one of the well designed approaches to blur the boundaries among being a user, developer and contributor in the open-source ecosystem. Probably I will be hanging around for a long time be it bugging, complaining, documenting, adding content and eventually digging into source codes ;)

Clouds are pictures in the sky

Clouds are pictures  in  the sky
They stir  the soul, they  please  the eye
They bless  the thirsty earth with  rain,
which  nurtures life  from  cell  to brain
But  no! They're  demons, dark  and dire,
hurling hail, wind,  flood,  and  fire
Killing,  scarring, cruel masters
Of destruction and disasters
Clouds have such diversity-
Now blessed,  now  cursed,
the best,  the worst
But where would  life without  them  be?
