Net.hate

There are few things that Richard Dawkins and Matt Nisbet agree about regarding science communication in the internets, but apparently there's a general consensus that you're a douchebag. I haven't got strong feelings on the RichardDawkins.net forum shutdown. Dawkins is right that people were…

The problem with writing by committee

Mr Deity is wrestling with the various versions of his story. Much is explained by his choice of a script doctor. By the way, if you've ever wanted to actually meet Mr Deity, you've got a shot: he'll be speaking at the Atheist Alliance International 2009 Convention in LA this October. And it's…

Never let the facts get in the way of damning Dawkins

Ed Brayton and Mike Gene have gone over the top in accusing Richard Dawkins of wanting to coerce the religious into giving up their beliefs; as is usual for Ed, he has no problem immediately comparing an atheist to R.J. Rushdooney and calling him a totalitarian, on the basis of a rather poorly…

Here's one not to miss: Richard Dawkins on the Colbert Report

Thanks to Norm, I recently found out that Richard Dawkins now has a web page (the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science). Certainly, any self-respecting skeptic would have to add that one to his sidebar, which I've now done. Even though I don't always agree with the vociferousness of…

Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction

January 3, 2011

So, wife asked me what's with connectedness of the stuff in this world, synchronicity and such. Well, there is much to say. Let's take this, for instance: Place the picture of a BZ reaction snapshot and a CMB picture side by side. One is a chemical reaction in a small dish, the other is a seven…

Vigorous Scrubbing, the musical

December 30, 2010

I find myself scrubbing (my own person, that is, please read on) vigorously without being aware only to realize later that I am listening to a fast-paced music while bathing. Most of you would have experienced the connection between music and pace of physical action. Amateur observations made while…

Dr Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats
