We're having another Café Scientifique here in Morris this evening—come on down! Nic McPhee of the Computer Science discipline (who also has a weblog, Unhindered by Talent) will be discussing "Privacy, security, and cryptography: What happens to your credit card number on-line, and is that e-mail really from your boss?". It is open to everyone, of course, and is being held at the local coffeeshop, the Common Cup, from 6:00 to 8:00 this evening.

This is an unfortunate combination of sentences (or parts thereof):
What happens to your credit card number on-line, and is that e-mail really from your boss?". It is open to everyone
WHAT?!?!?!

Hey dudes--
Sorry for the OT... but can someone recommend a good book on abiogenesis, something written in a similar vein to At the Water's Edge or Climbing Mount Improbable?

I'm reading one now: Hazen's Genesis. I'll probably put up a review this weekend.

Also entirely off-topic, but Pharyngula readers might be interested in an Andrew Sullivan post from yesterday ( http://tinyurl.com/ok3w5 ). Sullivan quotes a Eugene Volokh law review article documenting some really scary levels of discrimination against non-religious people... by judges making custody decisions.
I'm a real-life lawyer (though not family law, thank goodness), and I'm appalled.
For some folks, I'm afraid atheophobia knows no bounds.

If you haven't checked out the official site at http://www.cafescientifique.org/ and are interested in locations of the Cafe Scientifiques, it is well worth a visit. By the way, I read where a Cafe Scientifique is starting in New York City in May 2006.
