Remember: It's Not Okay, Even if They Are On Your Side

I'm surviving without my glasses okay, though I'm getting little actual work done. Boo -- especially since I'm giving a lunch seminar next Monday and have an abstract for a conference due in about a month. Some of that is because the data isn't making sense though. I'll bounce some ideas off of our group on Thursday. Tomorrow, I'll chip away at Hyperion's spin state.

Anyway, something cool. So, I read Dr. PZ Myer's blog, Pharyngula. I don't always agree with it -- I think Dr. Myers does an excellent job blogging about evolutionary biology, and he posts pretty squid and octopus pictures every Friday, but I think he's a little too eager to link all the evils of the world to religion* and somewhat sensationalist. I did see something I liked this weekend in his open post/comments on the Oscars.

( Context is Good, right? )

Working From Home Means Political Rants

Warning: the following post contains my political opinion. Discussion is welcome. Flames are not. Most of you folks I like well enough that I trust not to raise a fuss if I disagree with you. And it's more a 'I think about the issues' post than a 'My Thoughts on Yaoi' post.

There is also no Yaoi. The Yaoi is a lie (unless you count the fact I mention a book with a gay couple in it in passing, or my icon that came from a Bad Rpers Suck post). Thank you.

( Ranty rant is ranty. And also obviously written by a nerd. )

Random Observations

Decaf green tea never tastes as good as caffeinated green tea, even if I buy the good stuff.

I had less eyestrain today. Either my office (or my laptop, or who knows what) is bad for my eyes or my brain is finally learning to ignore my left eye until I get my glasses back.

Someone on Facebook just sent me a message asking $500 for my domain name.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
