Welcome to the new Evolving Thoughts.
As you all know, change is inevitbre, inevatible, unavoidable. So when I was asked to join this growing resource, I agreed, so long as the under the counter payments were large enough. To avoid tax problems, they gave me shares in some American company named Enron, which I'm told are worth a lot.
I'm an Australian, so I don't know much about the US, or anything really, apart from Australian spelling. You will learn that this doesn't stop me from pontificating anyway. This blog, and its precursor, are the passing thoughts, things that I can't work up to a real paper, that flit through my head as I try to avoid doing any real work. As a philosopher, these are manifold, although I can't promise you anything as sophisticated as PZ Unspellablename. He knows real stuff. I "know" the rest.
My avatar to the left is the albino razorback gorilla Snowflake, who lived at the Barcelona zoo. His facial expressions were almost human, and I particularly like the grumpy one I have chosen here. I'm not really grumpy, though. Reality just fails to live up to my expectations.
I look forward to our discussions. I will post some of the longer-lasting posts from the old blog from time to time, so you can work out exactly how wrong I can be. Cheers.
Stumble It!

"One man's struggle to come to terms with impermanence."
Is this an eternal struggle? Or merely a temporary endeavor?

Linked over from PZ Unspellable. Welcome! You science bloggers keep me sane at my dull-ass day job.
I like your style already!

Australian domination of scienceblogs.com begins here! OK, that will never happen, but it's great to see an Antipodean presence. And I won't sully your new residence with any ocker cliches. Well done.

Yes... Scienceblogs are certainly making me work on my bookmarks! But I hope you enjoy your new home and the wider readership that will almost certainly come along with it.

Argh. I need a link to the old one, I wasn't done with reading the bacteria species thing.

I linked over from PZ too. So, at least one woman has found you (sorry, I left fame and fortune behind...they move too slowly)

Welcome fellow colonial.
I have one burning question for you. What happens when an albino gorilla becomes a silverback? How the heck would the other gorillas know?

Nice new digs, John ;-).

Just figured out how to publish the comments. Sorry for the delay. New technology, and my technogenes are dated...

All I did was not read this thing for a few days and came back to find out an alternate universe was created.
