while I contemplate 1200 candidate planetary systems, and a hundred black hole researchers, I turn to the Mighty iPod
ok, so I got no blogging on the new stuff or the backlog done this week
Oh, Mighty iPod One: exoplanets or black holes?
Holiday, Festivus, Saturnalia, Kwanzaa, Agnostica, Cabmas, Hanukkah, Squidmas, Cephalopodmas,
Today is the 12th of december, and there are 13 days until christmas.
This means, of course, that the first of the yule elves came to town this morning.
Have a happy New Year Steinn!
Happy New Year, Irwin!
Long time, no hear... how is life?
Steinn,
Life is relatively good. I am teaching astronomy and math at a local 2-year college here in the Boise, Idaho area. My mom moved in with me about 1.5 years ago and we've been doing pretty well together. We share a beautiful, 6-year old female kitty named Nala.
I was updating some of my lecture notes, making sure that I had proper referencing for some figures I found online, when I came across your colleague Michael Eracleous, so I decided to look you up while I was on the PSU astro website.
BTW, tell Don I said hi.
