  1. Finished Stephenson's "Anathem". Fun, but he's really got to learn "show, don't tell". http://bit.ly/1OTKVY
  2. On not being able to talk about science http://www.andrewjaffe.net/...
  3. Ah, the yearly ritual burning of (other people's) religious leaders in effigy. Lovely.
  4. .@Planck has seen 50% of the sky while most of the collaboration is in Bologna discussing the mission so far. http://bit.ly/caHTg
  5. stirred at 5am, checked my iphone, got confused into thinking the Yankees had lost. ain't over yet, but still, whew.
  6. Probably can't report anything longer than 140 characters from the @planck consortium meeting.
  7. My hotel in Bologna comes with a little bag containing a couple of balloons, labelled "With a blow fill up a nice day".

  9. has interpolated the ephemeris.

  13. @emilicon heh, back 2+ weeks already, have run 1/2 marathon in the meantime... 'sup?
  14. @telescoper well, UK regs ARE ridiculous: what other country requires fused plugs, switched sockets, & doesn't allow any sockets in the WC?
  15. Apparently, my flat needs a "ring main". Why does the UK have the most ridiculous electrical regulations in the world?
  16. Is there anyone out there who owns the Kurt Weill tribute "Lost in the Stars" on CD?
  17. was at first intimidated, then just amused, by the (mostly: white, fat, bald) Preston supporters en route to their match against QPR.
