Goodbye to Scienceblogs
September 15, 2011
A few weeks ago, I was notified that if I wished to continue blogging at Scienceblogs/National Geographic, I'd have to agree to new terms. After considering these terms, as well as the decision to ban pseudonymous blogging, I don't feel that the new management and I are on the same page. I have…
SpaceChem!
September 14, 2011
A few months ago I got an email from Zachtronics, creators of the Codex of Alchemical Engineering, about the new indie game called SpaceChem. It was billed as "an obscenely addictive, design-based puzzle game about building machines and fighting monsters in the name of science." What's not to love…

Pseudonymity: Five Reasons the New Scienceblogs/NG Policy is Misguided
September 14, 2011

Suck it, Ptolemy!
When you go outside at night, on a clear night away from all lights, you see the sky the same way the ancients did: full of stars. Now, if you looked up periodically, you would find that the sky appears to rotate! Some constellations rise while others set, and one point -- either due north or due south depending on your hemisphere -- appears to not move at all. With the advent of time-lapse…
Q & A: The Shape of Things
It's only natural to wonder why things are the ways that they are. Take a look at our Solar System, for example. A central bulge with planets, moons, and whatnot moving in a disc around it. Is this the way things have to be? My friend Rich, a chemist, asks: It seems that all the objects in our solar system orbit the sun in nearly the same plane. Why is that? Why doesn't the solar system have…
Weekend Diversion: The Ultimate Fighter… of Stains? (Synopsis)
“You can clean your sword as much as you want but the blood still stains it.” -Matsuro I can't count for you the number of shirts I've ruined through spills and other stains. Have a listen to José González's song, Lovestain, while you consider what you'd do if you got a stain on your clothes. I'd run them through the wash, sometimes multiple times, and if that wouldn't get the stains out,…
