Alright, let’s see if I can do this as politely as possible… Nevermind, I can’t. The morons at the Westboro Baptist Church are coming to UVa this Friday to picket the free performance of “Laramie Project.” (Ugh, I can’t believe I just linked to that vileness, but it had to be done.) So, UVa and [...]

No, this won’t be about Google Sky or Google Mars or anything like that. This is just plain old Google Maps. I was dismayed to find that a topology map website I had used before now required your credit card information to view, but I still needed some view of our telescope site to plan [...]

Yes, I know, I’ve been away, I’m sorry. Will get back to it soon, I promise! Busy with moving and life and stuff… But look! Parrot couch! Oh, the things you can find for free on craigslist… P.S. Hi, Mom!
