GI's battling the Vietnam War - a documentary

Doctors urged to treat all women as if they were pregnant. This is news? Half the reason we don't have solid studies on women is because of worries about damaging fetuses. DX

How to Deconstruct Anything. An engineer takes on literary criticism.

Singularities might actually be a quantum critical phase transition on the surface of/right below the surface of a star. Reference the second, same topic.

Author interviews.

Five second notes:

I saw the new Doctor Who. The hour format is less weird to get used to than I thought it would be. The new doctor is hott and I love Rose. The references to the past make me squishy and happy. Four is still my favorite.

I am playing WoW, on the Thunderhorn and Mug'thol servers. I'm sure you can anticipate what my primary username is. My secondary one is Deoiridhe, which is my name spelled correctly.

I have finished Socrates. Symposium is cool, especially from two POVs. Homeboy still has balls the size of Texas. Machievelli is much easier to read than Socrates, and legions easier to read than Aristotle.

I love this Dr (and quite a few have compared him to #4) and the series is both well written and decently produced. (Not much nostalgia for the giant papier mache heads, here.) I do have a few meloncholy moments when I think of how much Diana would be loving it, but no escaping that...

She'd have a blast with it. Let's both have a doubly good blast with it in her name. ^_^ I have an entire of list of "things Di would like" in the back of my brain. It's a rather curious sensation.

Greetings.
The incompetence of adults never ceases to humor me. I believe that my father may...eventually...come to the conclusion that the last couple days of July....probably the 29, to the 5 or maybe 6 of August would be ideal. That's just a heads-up though and not final. Will those days work for you?
