Al Gore would not approve
Well, at least that’s how I’m justifying the purchase. I recently acquired this RV from a friend who just wanted to get rid of it. I had used it on road trips in the past (but that was when gas was $1.50 a gallon) and really enjoyed it.
I bought […]
On this Labor Day weekend, I’m spending time cleaning my desk, making astronomy videos and writing poetry. Since I’m in such a cleaning/creative mood, I thought I’d clean the following thoughts out of my head, then my brain will be as shiny as my newly cleaned desk.

Earlier today, I wrote a post titled “The Best Argument for Intelligent Design”, where I intended to poke a little fun at the idea that we could all be living in a simulated universe, one where laws of physics and the limits of our ability to measure could be used as ‘proof’ that there is […]
In my last two posts, I’ve been discussing the possibility of going back to grad school as well as some of the reasons for not doing so. In this post, I’m going to tell you why it’s a good idea. In my opinion, there’s only one good reason why anyone should ever go […]
For a variety of reasons, it wasn’t until I turned 30 that I started my undergraduate education. Of course, by that time, I was married with two kids.
So, while supporting my family, I worked very hard at getting my B.A. in physics from the University of Colorado. My boys were babies when […]
This is a personal post. While there is some therapeutic value in writing about this, I think it is also relevant to many discussions we’ve had on this blog.
Yesterday, a friend told me something that, at first blush, wasn’t all that earth-shattering but after it had sunk in a bit, I was shocked at […]
