Hieroglyph Blog Fight!
I was afraid my epic four-part essay about the Hieroglyph Project had gone unread, or worse yet, had been read and disregarded. So I'm delighted to see that David Haden has taken up arms in defense of the Hieroglyph anthology over at his own 'blog, 2020: Tracking Optimism. Mr. Haden thinks it's too soon to…

What Time Is It?
It's PLUTO TIME! In honor of the New Horizons probe's approach to Pluto (which isn't a planet, and don't argue about it or the IAU will send their Goon Squad to settle the matter), NASA has set up the "Pluto Time" Web site. Here's how it works: you enter your location, and the site tells…

It's been a while since my last posting, due to a combination of being busy and being sick (and not getting well as fast as I'd like because of the busy component). Fortunately, I can make other people do the work for me. This podcast explains some of where I've been for the past month.…
