WHOO!! The current list of speakers and activities scheduled for OUs celebration of Darwins 200th birthday is up! Sweet! Check back every now and then, because more activities are going to be added as speakers are confirmed (there are rumors a certain someone has agreed to visit us here in Salusa Secundus!).
If you cant make it to OU because youre stuck in the panhandle or locked in your church basement, its okay! It looks like they are going to try to make event podcasts available (and Im sure they could convince someone into video recording them for the www too).
Next year is gonna be so much fun!!!

I don't watch Private Practice. I didn't like Grey's Anatomy, which, every time I caught part of it, struck me as the cheesiest sort of medical soap opera, a General Hospital transplanted to prime time. Given that Private Practice is a spinoff of Grey's Anatomy, I never saw any reason whatsoever to…
Salusa Secondus? A Dune reference?
Abbie, will you marry me? (JOKE!)
I'm sure you'll be live-blogging Sally Kern's presentation, right?
Uh, she IS presenting, isn't she...?
Dune references are hot.
HAHAHA THIS IS YOU TWO.
I only do that for girls who dig the Spacing Guild.
Tell me of the waters of your home world, Abbie.
Does this mean that being in OK is part of a plot to breed supersoldiers? I'm sure that will make Ian really happy.
It sounds amazing..
But, it's OU. Blech.
