Welcome!

Some of you may be wondering why I left Facebook.  The short answer is, I got addicted to the ego-boost from likes and comments.  I was neglecting too many things that I needed to do in my face-to-face life like my family relationships, chores around the house, and my job--not to mention, it's not good to be addicted to anything.

At the same time, I'd like to keep in touch with many of you, and many of you would like to keep in touch with me.  In addition, it appears that a lot of you like reading at least some of the stuff I post.  I think that's great, so this blog plus e-mail is the mechanism I've chosen to accomplish that.  Please drop me a line.

I'm going to stay away from expressing opinions and other things that feed the "I wonder if someone liked that or not" problem.  I'll save that sort for stuff for face-to-face chats.  Mainly this blog as I envision it today will just be stupid humor and cool science that I stumbled upon and liked.
