I’m not a TOTAL Blogging Slacker…

Posted in astronomy, blogs, personal, podcasts, skeptic, writing on August 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Despite my inactivity over on this blog (shameful, I know), I’m still out and about on the internets. Once I got back from my crazy-busy teaching semester, and a busy-then-relaxing two weeks in NY and PA, I got back to my regular blogging over at Discovery Space. The latest is a summary of the astronomy [...]

This week’s carnival, number 146, is hosted by Simostronomy! I was particularly entertained by the submission from Alice’s AstroInfo, where she compares her own planetarium repair experiences to the last Hubble servicing mission. At the time of the STS-125 mission, I was in Green Bank climbing around on our antenna groundscreens again, doing repair work, [...]

Carnival of Space #137

Posted in astronomy, blogs, carnival, space on January 18, 2010 | 12 Comments »

The Carnival of Space has finally made it’s appearance this week. When the carnival players first showed up, I was lost in a beautiful, idyllic world called Pandora, inhabited by those tall, blue Na’vi and lots of fantastic (and fluorescent) creatures. But as I stepped out of the theatre labeled “Avatar”, leaving my 3-D glasses [...]

Does Canada even exist? Really? Okay, I’m kidding, I LOVE those cool Canadian skeptics, and they are coming together for a new borg… I mean, blog collective called Skeptic North.  It includes writing from very cool people such as Steve Thoms, Kimberly Hebert, Kennedy Goodkey, Desiree Schell, and lots more.  Also, check out the video [...]

Weird Google searches…

Posted in blogs, carnival, google, personal, space, travel on June 24, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I am often amused by the search terms that lead people to my humble little blog. Here is a random sampling that really had me laughing: Domo kun: Okay, I see this one pop up a LOT. I think I used the kitten chasing graphic once? Seriously, there are many more relevant sites that come [...]

Ben Goldacre on MMR, autism, and the media

Posted in anti-science, blogs, critical thinking, health, science, vaccines, videos on March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Ben Goldacre has an important message about the MMR vaccine, autism, and children’s health. In fact his website, Bad Science, is chock-full of science, pseudo-science, and those that can’t tell the difference. And, despite his blog title, the hair is adorable. Very Tom Baker-esque. Also, I’ve added that “Talk nerdy to me” sticker to my [...]
