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…

Sunday Function
One of the most important mathematical concepts in physics and pure mathematics is continuity. There's a formal definition for it which for the moment isn't too relevant, but for our purposes we can think of it in terms of smoothness. Put your finger at a point on the graph, and if the function smoothly approaches from all directions with no instantaneous jumps or gaps and it's continuous at…

Not two, not three, but FOUR anacondas
Anyone who's anyone has heard of the Anaconda. But in fact 'the' Anaconda is the Green anaconda Eunectes murinus. Most zoologically-informed people know that there's a lesser-known, smaller relative of this large species, namely the Yellow or Paraguayan anaconda E. notaeus. Usually only reaching 3-4 m in length (as opposed to 5-9 m for the Green anaconda), the Yellow anaconda [photo here by Dave…
