Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
You know, I was a skeptic about the severity of this spill at first, as it was being overplayed a lot (even with the real numbers taken into account). But that was at first, as in, the first several days. It’s been over 9 frickin’ weeks now. Hell, we could have trained jellyfish to go down there with Bounty paper towels in this amount of time (yes, that’s a joke for those who take themselves too seriously). WTF is taking so long with capping this, considering that they are working with a virtually unlimited budget to stop it?

I appreciate the hat tip, Jason, but I DO have a new blog, you know! Err… But don’t bother going there yet, ’cause I haven’t really posted anything interesting yet.
After almost two weeks, I’ve discovered the main difficulty is going to be not just copying everything I see here, at Greg Laden’s Blog, Pharyngula, and the rest of the standard atheist/political/science sites!
