Graduation Season

Last weekend I flew back to Maryland for Mark’s high school graduation. I apologize if I didn’t get to visit you; there’s only so much time to visit people on a short trip. Perhaps over Christmas we’ll be able to stay for a bit longer and be able to have leisurely visits with more people.…

Nature!

This afternoon we took a walk up a hill to check out the view. On the way back we ran across a large beetle.

What Happened Here?

When we put the chicken away last night the bowl was fine. This afternoon we got it out for lunch and found this scene of devastation.

Confocal Microscopy

While waiting for my turn on the confocal microscope I did a little advanced imaging of my own. I took this with picplz but so far I’m not too “plzed” with how they deal with the images. Equating caption and title isn’t all that great, although the effects are kind of fun.

By the Corporations, For the Corporations

Remember how Comcast and NBC were merging, and there was all kinds of controversy about it? I’m still not entirely sure what I think the deal itself, except that Comcast has a maddening monopoly on internet access in some areas (including where we used to live in Baltimore) and NBC is one of the hemorrhaging…
