Goonies Never Say Die

My childhood musical obsessions were Sesame Street songs , Queen's Greatest Hits , and the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of the 1985 film The Goonies, which is also the first movie I ever remember seeing in a theater. See Mikey? That's how I wore my hair every single day in grade school. Those were the good times, but I was too busy waiting for the future to arrive.

Unseen Beauty

The winners of the Nikon Small World photo contest have been announced , showcasing truly breathtaking talent under the lens. For over fifty years, this competition has masterfully blended scientific technique with artistry, giving us an unparalleled view into the hidden biome around us.

After seeing these phenomenal close-ups, you'll never look at a speck of dust or a houseplant the sam...
