  1. Neglecting Twitter. There are probably worse crimes. Think of something witty. Quick. Damn. Oh, yes... no, blast, lost it already. Bugger.
  2. Woo-hoo! Prof. Richard Dawkins will be on Colbert tonight! Not, of course, that Stephen believes a word of this "evolution" palaver...
  3. Going to Chicago for a friend's wedding, stumbled on beer can collector's coven in Springfield while in search of a Bennigan's...
  4. Waiting at the Free State in Lawrence for a table... a productive day about to go west in a froth of lovely ale... @ghrn
  5. @Plushe Wait a tick... secretly bringing science into bible classes? Fantastic idea. Let me get my cloak of deception before I away!
  6. Good luck to all today in your visit to Ham's Folly! Wish I were there too! (Maybe someday I'll go, just to be really despressed). #CreoZerg
  7. I'm pretend-shopping for mineralogy textbooks at Amazon while procrastinating on devising more mineral tests... it dulls the pain...
  8. Something to try with my telescope (and yours too, if you have one)... http://twurl.nl/6yrc6j
  9. Fantastic news! RT @LaelapsTyrannosaurus goo (i.e. degraded collagen) was the real deal http://tinyurl.com/mw6dok
  10. Still tired. Still trying to write my way through a block and not doing all that well. Still have many things that I need to finish. Merde.
  11. Quite tired this morning. Having tried to parse some sense from CMooney's Boston Globe screed hasn't helped. http://twurl.nl/u1xtsu
  12. Have just found that recent bookmarks are going into a folder marked "The Zany, Wacky Goon Show". That'll be confusing.
  13. @rwAtheist I typically go to AiG when I want to be depressed, or annoyed. The rest of the time, best to steer well clear.
  14. Never, ever want to go to Kenny Ham's creation "museum". Would rather have unfortunate encounter with hot poker & inquisition. Probably.
  15. Goldschmidt's Geochemistry is like a veritable candy store of fact to me just now. Mmmm... rubidium...
  16. Peaked at slightly over 100 followers, unfortunately while I was on holiday. More interesting things to say soon. Probably.
  17. Pough in the Field Guide to Rock & Minerals says that the blowpipe test for cerussite is one of the most rewarding to do. I'll let you know.
  18. All sorts of memories coming back while at Bear Scout camp withmy son... not all of them bad...
  19. @leifb What? Just shadows? More fakes! =) short of taking "hoax" idiots to Luna & locking them inside old LMs, can't see h/t convince them.
  20. Sitting by the pool, wishing I hadn't forgotten my trunks. Could swim in shorts; probably unseemly. Great view of the lake too...
