If you're in New York tonight, head over to the mysterious new "Observatory" between Proteus Gowanus, Cabinet Magazine, and the Morbid Anatomy Library for
(1) a book release party for Confronting Mortality with Art and Science: Scientific and Artistic Impressions on what the Certainty of Death Says About Life;
(2) a film screening of Art:Science = Science x Art;
and (3) conversation with some really, really cool people. I'm jealous that i'm down here in DC - even if I do get to go see Adam Gopnik tonight at Politics and Prose. I'm going to have to pre-order this darn book on Amazon like everybody else, sniff sniff. :(
More info on tonight's event at Morbid Anatomy. More about the book here.

Okay, now that I have all these comments to reply to, I'm gonna have to beg off until later tonight or tomorrow. Tonight is the draft for my fantasy football league. This league is really more about competitive trash talking than about football, of course.
Feel like watching a little TV tonight? PBS is showing a new Nova tonight, Darwin's Darkest Hour, which looks to be about his worries about publishing his theory.
Thank goodness. The flag burning amendent fell one vote short of the 67 required to send it on to the states tonight. Madison's ghost will sleep a bit more soundly tonight.
