Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

What the James Webb Space Telescope means
"Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once." -Henry David Thoreau The night sky is our greatest glimpse of what lies out there, beyond our own world, in the expanse of space we know as our Universe.

Map That Campus XLVII
Welcome one and all to another edition of Map That Campus. Since I'm restarting this feature, I though that I would try something a little different. Here is today's mystery campus: (more below the fold) Clues: To figure out the answer, you'll first need to identify a famous Canadian. Besides nationality, there are some parallels between this person and me. He was educated at this institution…
Happy Earth Day (from Space)
Note: This article first appeared here on Scienceblogs one year ago today. There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day, from sustainability efforts to simply appreciating nature. And while this is a beautiful shot of Forest Park right here in Portland, it doesn't compare -- in my eyes -- to the perfection of Earth as seen from so far away. In October of 1946, a V-2 missile was launched from New…
