Well, Chad's back, and I guess that means that this guest-blogging stint has come to an end (free! I'm free!). I want to thank Chad again for the opportunity to play in his sandbox for a few weeks. I didn't get the chance to write every post I had planned. Real life -- or at least the closest academic imitation thereof -- does sometimes get in the way of blogging. Anyways, having seen it from the other side now, this blogging stuff isn't easy. I don't know how Chad manages to come up with two or more things to say every day, but I guess that's why he's the blogger and I'm the guest-blogger. So, I hope you all appreciate Chad for all the hard work he puts in daily to give us the opportunity to avoid work.

As for my time here, I didn't have to resort to a guess-the-lyrics post, Lee Smolin or, thankfully, politics. By that measure, I consider it a success. I enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoyed it, too. Maybe we can all do it again some time.

Later.

The LHC is coming, and it's time to place your bets. What do you do? (Fun though it may be, shooting the hostage doesn't really help here.) We're committed Bayesians (for the sake of this post, at least), and we want to assign a probability that the LHC will see supersymmetry. More generally, we…
Well, as a lot people seem to have written in my high-school yearbook, "it's been real." I've enjoyed standing in for Dr. Oilcan and appreciate his gracious offer to have an experimentalist representative on his guest-blogging squad. As Aaron said, I don't know how he does it, but whatever juice…
