Skimpy Saturday

This post is skimpy, that is. No scantily-clad women, though I bet it would drive up traffic!

The post is skimpy because yesterday I spend several hours grading exams and six more driving to Louisiana. No time to write a good post and do the usual Saturday random observations and links. But usually everything on my blogroll is very good, and I can assure you that you'll enjoy your time spent around the physics blogosphere.

To hold you over until tomorrow's Sunday Function, here's the inimitable genius Richard Feynman discussing just exactly what physics is. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
