This is my last post at Scienceblogs.com. In the future I will be blogging at Greg Laden's blog, located at its original home at gregladen.com. I have a feeling that Scienceblogs will not last long without me. What do you think? :) But seriously, I'll be talking about the story of the current…
Hacking Voting Machines

Missing a Thousand Galaxies or so? Here's how to find them!
"It doesn't matter what temperature the room is, it's always room temperature." -Steven Wright Far and away, one of the greatest things the Universe has ever created are dense clusters of galaxies!
