Teaching Your Spouse or Lover to Speak Serbian
It literally rained mud here last Tuesday
Tales of buffoonery, keys
Can Technology make us Happy?
I will never watch The Simpsons again
The stupid, it burns
EMAIL I wish I had sent
Seminar thoughts
But you punch above your weight and you're stronger than you look, And the ending's not the same, they changed it from the book.

“You can observe a lot by just watching.” -Yogi Berra Sure, the quantum Universe is a little bit spooky. Things that we're used to being "determined" here in the macroscopic world, like where a particle will end up if you throw it, aren't so simple if we head on down to subatomic scales.

In fact, we are behind compared to other nations, and parts of our infrastructure is deteriorating. Paul Douglas has been telling people for some time that we need to pay attention to our aging satellite system, and here Kate Sheppard talks about the slow but steady development of legislation…
Enforcing the Cosmic Speed Limit
Last time we took a pulse of light and shot it through a medium with a frequency-dependent refractive index. The particular form of the refractive index was sort of interesting - for some frequencies, it was less than 1. That implied that the phase velocity of a sine wave would be faster than the speed of light. But pulses of light contain a band of frequencies so normally we'd invoke the group…
