Phoenix M. Lander is guestblogging in Gizmodo.

Sheesh, here I was bragging all over the place about Boing Boing's amazing guestbloggers -- most notably, our current star, Susannah Breslin -- and the guys at Gizmodo have to one-up us over here. NASA's frickin' Mars Lander is guestblogging over there. Brian Lam says the Phoenix Mars Lander is blogging about its "last days on Mars, recalling its life and bravely facing impending death." Gah! Brilliant.

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

…There’s only one thing wrong with the Phoenix mission: they didn’t command the arm to write it’s name in the soil before they shut the arm down to conserve power.

Brilliant indeed. I hope they realize that there is only one proper way to end that blog appearance: with Sturgeon’s “The Man who Lost the Sea” – which is at http://fasterthanfashion.blogspot.com/2006/06/man-who-lost-sea.html
