Friday Fun: Five more songs I love

My last Friday Fun post at the old home was a list of five hard rock songs that I really love. I enjoyed doing that list so much, I thought I'd do it again this time, but with a focus on the blues. I'm a Criminal by Paul Reddick + The Sidemen. This song totally blew me away the first time I…

Animals Playing Soccer!

The official song of the World Cup, Waka Waka (This Time For Africa), by Shakira. Totally awesome song. But also, animals playing soccer! (h/t @avflox)

Jesus, etc.

Listen: genius is genius. Here's what we know: Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is genius. This need not be argued, as if we had to argue that the greatest scientific and technical accomplishments were genius - relativity, quantum theory, polio vaccine, the human genome, that programmable Roomba…

Goodbye Scienceblogs, Hello Scientific American Blogs!

July 5, 2011

In March 2010, I was invited to leave behind the relative obscurity of my wordpress blog for the warm community (and increased visibility) of ScienceBlogs. What a tremendous honor and opportunity that was! But there comes a time in the life of every blogger when one must say goodbye to one's…

Monday Photoblogging: Before and After

July 4, 2011
