October 31st, 2011 
Dana Hunter For those of you interested in following the writer’s progress, I’ve started blogging my winter writing project. Yup. Time to get serious. Those of you desiring an invite so that you may view my screaming and the occasional excerpt as this thing progresses, shoot me a request at dhunterauthor at yahoo dot com. And if [...]
Los Links 10/28
October 31st, 2011 Dana Hunter It’s Halloween, otherwise known as NaNo’eve, and this may be the last big linkfest for a considerable time. Oh, there will be Los Links, don’t get me wrong. I’d never deprive you of them. But I likely won’t have much time for reading. Which is a shame, because people keep writing intensely interesting stuff. Exhibit [...]
Four Questions, Four Answers (No Jesus Necessary)
October 30th, 2011 Dana Hunter Some of my readers may not know Callan Bentley. This is a shame, because he’s a brilliant geologist, a fantastic teacher, and one of the two people who makes me seriously consider moving to Virginia in order to attend college. If you knew how I felt about passive margins, you’d know why this is a [...]
I’m Sending You to the Salt Mines
October 30th, 2011 Dana Hunter This. Is. Amazing. If somebody wanted to send me to work in this salt mine, that would be totally fine. I’d be all over that. It’s one of the most incredible places I’ve ever seen. Who would have ever thought that a bunch of salt miners would have spent extra time down in the mines [...]
“You Want Something Old? Pick Up a Rock.”
October 29th, 2011 Dana Hunter There’s this thing that happens, sometimes, when a blogger’s busier than an overstocked daycare center whose charges have gotten into the coffee supply and disregarded the decaf. You post a little throwaway something: a video, some photos, a few thoughts. You think nothing of it. You were just filling a gap, sharing something of passing [...]
Cantina Quote o’ The Week: Naguib Mahfouz
October 29th, 2011 Dana Hunter The real malady is fear of life, not of death. -Naguib Mahfouz All I knew of Naguib Mahfouz was this quote. These words, this simple sentence, reminds me of something very important: people have a tendency to waste their one precious life by clinging to a pathological fear of it. This quote reminds me to [...]
Accretionary Wedge: Deadlines Fast Approaching!
October 28th, 2011 Dana Hunter The Accretionary Wedge carnival’s starting November with two back-to-back kinda-Halloween-themed, um, themes. Posts are due soon, so you’d best scramble if you’re planning to wedge yourself in. (Please forgive that last little joke. I know it wasn’t funny. I’m functioning on fractional amounts of sleep just now, and I think my sense of humor went [...]
Why I Am an Atheist
October 28th, 2011 Dana Hunter PZ asked his readers why they’re atheists, and he’s been running their replies daily. Figured with a new readership and so forth, I might as well have a go and put it on me very own blog. Why not? Here’s the short answer: because it’s sensible. Gods are surplus to requirements. Why carry round the [...]
Tags: And That, Kids, Is Why You Shouldn’t Build on a Bluff
October 27th, 2011 Dana Hunter One of my geotweeps, CGKings317, once tweeted this rather remarkable video showing coastal erosion over the course of a year: It gives you a sense of just how delicate coastlines can be. There’s the ocean, and storms; wind, water and gravity, all working to lay the land low. 17 meters (almost 56 feet) of prime [...]
