Ruthless and bastardy but it'd probably work.

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…

Ignacio notes that making moons is similar to forming planets. Understanding moons may have something…
Follow the Bouncing Ball
Last week, Rhett did a post on animating a bouncing ball in VPython. This was mostly making a point about the distinction between real simulation and animation, along the lines of yesterday's post on social construction of videogame reality. But, of course, my immediate reaction was, "That's not how a bouncing ball looks..." This is how a bouncing ball looks: (As you can see from the watermark,…
What's in the Universe?
"There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." -Aldous Huxley Earlier this week, I told you the story of how we went from a Universe that was -- at one time -- almost perfectly smooth, full of tiny, random fluctuations in density, to the Universe we have today, full of stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies all clumped together in a…
