I'm normally not one to believe in the improbable, but someone has laid some serious ju-ju on me. While away at my fabulous geek-cation, my computer bit it, my furnace at home died, and....(God, I can hardly type it...)...MY DSL WENT DOWN!!!1!
Just in time for the launch of my brand-spanking-new blog, just in time for me to share all of my insightful thoughts from ScienceOnline09, my tech life imploded.
So please, dear reader, give me a few days to try to fix everything (meh, the furnace can wait...it's above zero. But the computer and teh tubes...NOOO!!!)

The Colorado NPR station KUNC recently ran a credulous fluff piece by some guy named Marc Ringel, touting "healing at a distance", some sort of magic handwaving that he claims is "scientifically" supported. The Colorado skeptical community, of course, has expressed their scorn in email to the…
The series of interviews with some of the participants of the 2008 Science Blogging Conference was quite popular, so I decided to do the same thing again this year, posting interviews with some of the people who attended ScienceOnline'09 back in January.

Back when we bought the house, Kate's parents were having miserable problems with their cable Internet service-- at peak times, the real bit rate went down so far that it was impossible to get anywhere-- so we opted for DSL service. Five years later, we still have DSL, and even the same modem.

Congrats on the new blog.While I dont't believe in juju of any kind(my cousin's *creole* wife might debate me on this),the furnaces have a way of expiring in January, as mine did a few years ago.Probably more to do with senescence and workload than kismet,still it *feels* like bad juju....Be that as it may,I left you a comment during your recent exodus about Ornish as woo-enabler ("The War Has Begun..."),if not full-tilt Chopra blunderer.
Um, would you mind keeping the juju to yourself? I left NC with a dying hard drive on my laptop and got home to discover a bookshelf had detached itself from the wall to land on my desktop (which somehow still works). If I find that something's happened to the thumb drive where all my writing is backed up, we're going to have to have a little talk.
We're patient. Well, not really, but we like you, so we'll wait. :)
Ugh. Sorry to hear it!!
