It is midnight on January 1 here in Australia. There's a loud party next door (young folks, heh). So I hope you all have a good year and thanks for reading me in 2007.

Update: you guys finished funding one of the projects below, which is incredibly generous. I'm a big fan of micro-donations, so feel free to kick a buck or two into another project! --PalMD
OK, you guys have been great. We've funded eight projects in needy Michigan schools, reaching 630 kids---…
Well, all good things must come to an end, so this is it for Coral Week. I wanted to finish things on a high note with the "naked coral" hypothesis. Does it sound like something out of an Austin Powers movie? Really, folks, its in Science! It probably won't save corals from global ocean overturning…

Today is March 14th, 3/14 in the normal American way of writing dates, so you'll find a lot of silliness on the web today talking about "π Day" due to the coincidental similarity with the first three digits of π (see, for example, Rhett's annual post). But, of course, this is an archaic and local…
Happy New Year to you too! And I'm looking forward to reading you again in 2008.
Cheers,

Happy new year :)
Happy New Year from stateside, where we are still living in the past.
And thanks for writing for us!
Happy new years too..
As a strict adherent of the natural astronomical calendar my New Year started on the 22nd of December so I'm way ahead of you but Happy New Year all the same and keep up the good blogging. Remember you have a hungry audience out there waiting to be educated, enlightened and entertained by your Evolving Thoughts!
Go bang on the neighbor's door and tell them to quiet down! If you do it right and you're lucky, they'll invite you in!
Happy New Year!
Damn! You got there before us!
But happy new year anyway!
Bob
Don't worry, Bob. We're still on the leading edge of the Atlantic.
Happy new year.Regards..
Happy New Year to You as well!
Dave Briggs :~)
Well a couple of hours to go till New Year arrives here.
John, look forward to reading your musings in 2008.
Have a happy year
So, if I understand you correctly, I am currently living in two years simultaneously, thanks to you and some kind of quantum weirdo unreality thing. My favorite movie line _is_ "I'm a quantum mechanic".
A hundred quatloos to anyone who knows what that's from (no looking it up).
At first I thought it was Heisenberg now I'm not certain. Was it maybe Schrödinger's cat?
Whatever you do, don't tell us how it ends. I'm hoping for a surprise twist at midnight.
Happy new year too.
Happy New Year John. We'll have a celebratory coffee when we get back to work.
Cheers
Okay, my offer is now 200 quatloos, to be awarded Tuesday morning (for various values of Tuesday).
Buckaroo Banzai?
GRIMY PERSON (looking under hood of ageing starship) "Sorry, guv'nor, but yer Singularity Drive is totally knackered. It's leakin' 'Awking radiation all over the bleedin' shop. I can't be certain without strippin' it down but yer 'Eisenberg Compensator looks like it's on its last legs. As for that Schrodinger Catalytic Converter, there's no way of tellin' if it's still 'olding superposed states without openin' it up and yer lookin' at a good 'alf days work just for that. Other thing is they 'aven't made quanta of that size since they went metric so I'll 'ave to see what I can get from scrap. All in all, I'd say you're lookin' at a good five 'undred quatloos for the whole job and that's assumin' I can get the parts."
Oh, and Apple Nude Ear!
Virtual fake disappointed look, science fiction movie fans. "I'm a quantum mechanic" is from _Forbidden Planet_.
Feliz año nuevo Señor Wilkins.
Yes indeed, happy new year to Wilkins and all his admirers (I am of course one myself).
I look forward to many more fascinating posts from our favourite biological philosopher (philosophical biologist?)
Goodbye 2007 - you did one good thing at least - you got rid of John Howard.
I can't take full credit, of course. Others helped.
"As for that Schrodinger Catalytic Converter, there's no way of tellin' if it's still 'olding superposed states without openin' it up and yer lookin' at a good 'alf days work just for that."
Open it up? Surely you jest!
You open up one of those babies and look inside, and it collapses.
Happy (belated) new year, John. I'm a new reader in 2007, but I sure am enjoying the heck out of your blog. Looking forward to the coming year.
Happy and healty new year !
