Weekend Away

A heads-up: I'm in New York for the weekend, so starting tomorrow morning I'll be sort of sporadically reachable. Will be spending my birthday hanging out with assorted folks I haven't hung with in far too long. Good times.

Check it out: an entire online store devoted to slide rules! Handy next time you're stuck in the woods and have to take a cube root, or, you know, in case of apocalypse.

This conference would have been fascinating; wish I'd heard about it sooner so as to finagle my way in. The abstracts are online, though. And speaking of pale blue dots, an epic photograph gets an update.

And on the topic of entertaining science, some genius has gone and put a bunch of talks by our very own "comic book physics professor" on YouTube.
