You’ll probably have noticed that I have returned from Boston and the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole (above, looking across Eel Pond on the day before it started raining … a lot) where I was for a break with friends and a workshop for the past eleven days or so. Fun was had and perhaps I’ll post on the workshop (theme: “What is the Value of History of Science for Science?”) later. I will say that I met a Nobel Prize winner, ate great seafood, drank great beer, and talked history and philosophy of science with good friends into the wee hours.
Blogging will be sporadic for a week or so as I complete some projects, but should intensify soon.

Oh, what a week. I’m still trying to recover from the YearlyKos convention. I had a blast, like the year before, even though I had some trouble with internet access this time. The access at the convention was wonderful... as long as there was sufficient power on one’s laptop. In the Hyatt above,…
The air felt thick and heavy in my lungs. As I drove further down the narrow strip of beach, my throat closed and my eyes burned. It wasn't normal sea air - it was toxic. Red tide was hitting the area in full force, killing off thousands of marine animals and filling the air with the neurotoxic…
yep, Harpoon IPA is one of the best things about Massachusetts!
How many minutes did you go with Dogfish head?
Unfortunately, I only had the 60 Minute in draft but spent a very long afternoon/evening with a good friend sampling some of the Dogfish Head bottles that we cant get out West.
