I have no photos to illustrate this, because I never stopped to take any – I know, a sorry state of affairs for someone who calls himself a photographer. So you’ll just have to contend with my narrative. Or, you know, skip it and go to a site with pichers… For family reasons, I […] December 12th, 2018 | Tags: fossils, Neil Shubin, Pennsylvania, Route 15, Tiktaalik, Your Inner Fish | Category: Random, Science & Evolution |
 Leave a commentNo, I’m not dying; we’re referring here, yet again, to the ol’ philosophical arguments about free will. Even worse, this may not be the last despite the implications of the title, but c’mon, I haven’t done one in a while so you can’t complain. This one was inspired by re-reading a post from five […] When and how, exactly, did coins begin to be called, “change?” I’m guessing it had something to do with the only thing you could change a paper bill into.

Of course, for the time being, there’s not a lot of choices in the latter department, since the Cassini probe was the only one […] This was originally going to be included in an earlier post, but it never fit in well with it and needed its own dedication, so let’s start with another frequently-seen internet meme that illustrates an all-too-common perspective: Hmmmmm. And what if I told you that you should stick to subjects you have the faintest […] Hmmmm, I have a choice between a rant semi-continued from another post, or a kinda-long exposition that explains some curious traits. What to do, what to do? I would like to give credit for this photo, but it’s one of the millions on the internet that were lifted from somewhere and make the rounds […] I’ve had this topic sitting in the background for quite a while now, waiting for me to sit down and put the thoughts into a more coherent narrative. I’m not saying that I succeeded, and it’s likely that further development of it will show up later on. Regardless, I wanted to bring up the […] |
What's this?
