Aaargh! Dueling events on Thursday night!
Oh, well, they're easy to resolve spatially. If you're somewhere near Minneapolis, you should attend JT Eberhard's talk in Smith Hall at 7. He's going to be talking about "Campus Preachers: An Excuse to Build Forts and Other Shenanigans", so I'm sure there'…
All you Minnesotans should know by now that Richard Dawkins will be speaking at UMTC, in Northrup Auditorium, at 7pm on Wednesday, 4 March…next week! If you haven't got your tickets yet, you can join Minnesota Atheists and get one for free — so act fast.
As an additional inducement, guess who is…

Otherwise, chat among yourselves (hmmm…seems to be a lot of these open threads around here lately. Don't worry, next…
Open threads are nice, but once or twice a week ought to be enough.
I'll bet you've never been to Rock City. It's just outside Minneapolis.
I've had a love-hate relationship with Mac/Apple all my life. Right now is a hating stage. I am VERY, VERY FRUSTRATED.
That's all.
My brain hurts.
I'm not getting any work done at the office at all.
j - Why the frustration? Can any of us help you out?
Probably not. My iPod is a piece of [insert expletive here].
But that was very kind of you to ask.

Any news yet from the Dobrichs' lawyer?
Thanks.
A comment by M.Petersen got me googling eye beams and the first things that came up were "eye beam monster vs. squid 2" comic and a comic strip called eyebeam:

George, you're kidding, right? Those are awesome links, in any case.
I think three is the limit for open thread posts? I've been censored already 3 times on this blog which is why I haven't responded to some half a dozen questions directed to me personally. Oh well. Science is Fascism.

Looks like the Kansas preliminary results are in...but the PT site is crawling and deathly slow. Anybody here have an update?
Anyone feel like going over to Brad Blog and saying there was no neocon conspiracy on 9/11?

There's a raucous crowd of conspiracy theorists hanging out over there, talking about a recent show on C-SPAN.
I added my two cents and they jumped all over me. It's kinda fun. It's like being Jason.
Those are awesome links, in any case. -- indeed.
For something entirely different: it seems the business magazine Forbes and its readers have discovered evolution - no longer thrall to George Gilder-like technogurus.
In the current issue:
* there's a 1-page essay by Stephen Pinker on how Hollywood's cutesy animal movies are missing great opportunities to popularize evolution
* a letter from a reader berates Forbes for claiming the disease-resistant bacteria in hospitals result from mutations - it's natural selection, the letter clearly explains, though referring to it as "supernatural selection" - mischievious phrase!
Online for two weeks at www.forbes.com/forbes with links there to Letters ("Readers Say") and Pinker ("On My Mind").
(Free registration required. And for those of liberal sensibilities, it's still often prudent to read Forbes from back to front - the opening editorials are antediluvian, like most in the WSJ)
I hear the creationists lost big in Kansas elections. Way to go....
