  1. The best part of my job? Helping local students on science projects. Just got a query from a high schooler needing to take swabs of sundews.
  2. @mrbelm Oh, it's worse down here. 1 inch of snow, and Dallasites stock up like we're going to be snowbound for months.
  3. A late Christmas present for my poor cold-averse wife? http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm/terms/15969
  4. Tonight, I finish the new gardening column for "Gothic Beauty" if it kills me. And the bike ride home probably will.
  5. @Sunfell I just stepped outside for a moment, and the wind chill tore through my motorcycle jacket. And it's only gonna get worse.
  6. RT @stickers_thecat: A pickup truck with a small dump trailer and "Foundation Repair" stenciled on does not inspire confidence.
  7. @jackshafer on why the Apple Tablet won't save newspaper & magazine publishing: http://www.slate.com/id/2239557/
  8. Tonight, the "worst cold snap in a decade" comes in. I want to go to the grocery store and watch Dallasites stocking up for the next month.
  9. @rachelcaine "Designate the least important!"
  10. @scottedelman I've heard that story a lot from other venues. And now you know why Maxim and Stuff had a nice game of editor musical chairs.

  13. I now know of one confirmed voter for _Greasing the Pan_ getting the "Best Related Work" Hugo Award. Now to gather more victims.

  15. Knut Haugland, last surviving Kon-Tiki crewmember, dies at 92: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/04/world/04haugland.html?hpw
  16. @Kambrieldesign That's why I bike to work. I don't get calls, and I get to watch bobcats, Texas rat snakes, & killdeer in the morning.
  17. RT @BadAstronomer: I just saw a marine corps pilot choke up talking about inspiring children to love science. I think I like this guy.
  18. @docbrite Not a problem. May I suggest lighter things to get your mind off it?
  19. Anyone need a good $20 telescope for kids and for city observing? https://www.galileoscope.org/gs/
