The rock pick is being used to de-ice the gutters. Your sledge is being held by the snowman the kids built in the yard, and you are wondering what to do while 'polishing your rocks'?
planethunters.org may be the spot for you to while away those whistful hours wishing for a wild fling at a car-sized 'pumkin ball', or another shovelful of matrix... At planethunters.org, you can actually be a discoverer of exoplanets! The Kepler science team has too much data! All algorithms aside, the light curves from stars which may have planets whizzing around them can only be discerned by the human eye (much like Dave's corundum 'snowmen, bunnies, etc.). Anyway, have a look!
Your humble astronomer, Ken

This site that Ken recommended is absolutely AWESOME!!!! I have been on it all day and I have found several Exoplanets. Ken, what do you think about starting a PlanetHunters.org thread so people who are interested can post what they found, Candidates etc.....
