- Telling Stories: February's Scientiae Carnival
Hooray, hooray, for Scientiae! This month's theme brings us lots of stories about what sexism looks like in everyday life... and some less depressing entries as well. - Stratigraphic layer-cake T-shirt
I would buy it immediately, but fortunately for my wallet I got stuck nitpicking the weird clastic dikes. Callan Bentley has more about why it is a wholly unrealistic piece of art. - Global warming skeptics claim Patriots win Superbowl
"Common sense demands that a team which makes up less than 0.05% of the population of Hudson County can't possibly be responsible for upsetting the greatest sports franchise on Earth." - More on medical geophagy in chimps: montmorillonite clay and the origins of life --
Chimpanzees eat clay because it catalyzes biochemical reactions to fight malaria. The chimps in this study were eating mainly kaolinite - I wonder if they would display a preference if given a choice between different clay mineralogies. - Blogging on Pseudoscientific Douchebags
An icon (and maybe someday an aggregation service) I can endorse! - Justice Department to Treat Gay Employee Group Equally
Hey, look at that! The Attorney General did something that doesn't make me want to throw a rock at my computer! - California Solar Power History --
A neat Google Maps widget that shows the takeoff in solar power in California in the last 8 years. If you know your San Francisco area geography, check out the difference between Berkeley and Oakland, and contemplate tax incentives.
I've decided to buy the stratigraphy t-shirt after all. This will actually be the first piece of previously-unworn non-sock/bra/underwear clothing that I've purchased for myself since... uh... I can't remember. Probably sometime in 2004. I'm not what you'd call a fashionista, but I am occasionally a sucker for geekwear.
Wait! No! I bought some tank tops last summer. Anyway, Threadless offers store credit to people who successfully spam their friends. So if you are a Threadless regular, please spam me with an invitation to buy that t-shirt.

I finally have a day job! For a few weeks, anyway - I'm temping as a GIS monkey. While this is not functionally much different from generic office temp jobs, data entry using ArcGIS pays much better than data entry with Excel.

What's wrong with the T-shirt isn't so much the clastic dikes but the angular unconformity underneath the limestone. Sorry, that can't happen in the non-creationist universe!
You're right, of course, but I'm fixated on hydrofracturing right now for other reasons, so that's where my attention went and got stuck.
Hi there,
I just wanted to say "thanks" for the all-important ScienceBlogger endorsement of Blogging on PseudoScientific DoucheBags. The site is up with plans to go live on Feb 12. In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas/suggestions, head on over and put in your $0.02.
Thanks for the link for our Solar Power History map. If you have any other things that you think would be helpful on a google map mashup, let us know!
