Nerd on - go vote
Well, the suggestion to clip some audio from the Newt Gingrich video was popular, and not at all a bad idea. But I wasn’t quite sure I was ready to make a politically controversial first impression. Then, as with so many good ideas, I had another water closet epiphany: Faking It. As far […]

Help, I need input!
So a couple weeks ago I started hearing about this Public Radio Talent Quest, and some friends had suggested I submit something from my past podcasting repertoire. I thought that sounded like a GREAT idea, but you know, with grad school and politickin’, I kept putting it off.
The deadline is MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. And […]

You could sense by the end of the meeting today that my dissertation committee genuinely felt bad for me and wanted me to find some successful conclusion to this debacle that has been my research program. While my side of the dissertation process has been plagued with the fortune of Job, […]

Too early for monkeys
I’m trying this new health kick thing. Sort of.
For one, I’m eating a lot more vegetables. Most of the time, I think vegetables are to be thrown at people or used sparingly to enhance dishes based primarily on meat and cheese. Chicken quesadilla? Yeah, put a little salsa in that. […]

Hi, I hate science. Please put me in charge of energy, medicine and nukes.
I guess if we have our Kucinich and Gravel, neither of whom I’m ready to hand over the nuclear codes, they gotta have people I don’t want to see in charge of anything scientific:
The field split on another issue, with Brownback, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo raising their hands when […]
