Why won’t people give intelligent design a break?
I mean, I’d really like us to spend some time intelligently designing a science curriculum, a national security policy, and some emergency response plans.
Why do people rail against intelligent design? What do they want, stupid design?
BookBorough updated – Get Cheap or Free Books in NYC
I’ve updated my remix of the great Book Burro GreaseMonkey script.
GreaseMonkey is this amazing plugin for firefox that lets you re-write webpages so that they work the way you want. If you aren’t so good with the javascript, you can browse UserScripts.org, a great website that helps you find userscripts that have been written.
BookBorough pops up if you are on most of the major bookselling websites. It has a tiny little bar – you click on the bar and it expands, grabbing prices from all of the other major booksellers and getting availability for that book in the new york libraries. If you are going to buy a book, you might as well get it for the lowest price. And if you’re willing to buy the book, maybe you should take a second to check it out from your local library instead!
If you are interested in writing your own scripts, check out Dive Into Greasemonkey, a totally free book about writing Greasemonkey scripts. amazon booksearch library
Department of Defense interested in cellular reactions to NanoParticles
Dr. Dave knows more about nanotechnology than anyone else that I have ever met. He finds this nanotech research suspicious.

Collect Wendy’s cups, fly for free
Check out this amazing deal from airtran. The gist is this: You get 64 UPC’s from wendy’s 20 oz or greater cups. You mail them to AirTran. AirTran mails you a coupon good for a round trip ticket anywhere they fly.
I could just tell the hobos on my block that I am buying wendy’s 20oz cups for 25 Cents a cup. Voila – round trip ticket for $16 (plus tax and fees). Who wants to go to Colorado? Or, since airtran flys from madison to vegas, maybe Squiggles could use this to fly to vegas, then hop a cheap flight from there to reno?
BTW, squiggles – dude, why am I not on your links list? Maybe I should start hanging out with this guy, who’s page I found when looking for yours.
Back from Breck
I just got back from Breckenridge Colorado Monday morning. We flew out late on wednesday night and caught a redeye back to nyc and straight to work from there.
It was really great stuff. Every day was a powder day and we slept in the swankest condo ever. I managed to get a 180 off. It appears to be something I can do once a year.
