It was on sale for $7, so how could I resist buying it?
Yesterday was the first day of my course for this term! So exciting! Now, I know that as a general rule I don’t talk about my work here in the old blogosphere – what happens in Dr. Beth’s classroom stays in Dr. Beth’s classroom and all – but I have to say that I love […]
Two Sundays ago, when I got home from my long run ((16 km long, in fact)), I discovered that I had a blister on my big toe. This blister, in fact: Believe it or not, I don’t think I’ve ever had a blister on my foot from all the running I’ve done. Blisters from wearing […]
So, as I’m sure I’ve never mentioned on here before, I love data. I used the Runkeeper app to track my running data, the Sleep Cycle app to track my sleeping data and (the now open source) wesabe to track my money data. So, not surprisingly, one of the blogs I follow is Information is Beautiful. […]
So I have a perfectly good excuse for not writing a proper blog posting today ((not sure what my excuse for the last several months is, but today I’m totally covered)). I’ve been *working* all night! As I mentioned the other day, I have to give a presentation for work tomorrow and I got the […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’m using the RunKeeper iPhone app to track my training runs. One of the things I really like about RunKeeper is that it gives you a graph of your pace and the elevation of the runs you do. And you know I’m a sucker for graphs. This is a graph from […]

That’s 212 against the government ((and I am pleased to report that two organizations to which I belong – the […]
Today I finally got to meet my long-lost British twin! I mean, sure we don’t look anything alike and were born a month apart ((I looked up her birthday on Facebook!)) on separate continents, but I can think of no other explanation for our similarities than the separated-at-birth theory. We are both scientists who chose […]
I wrote this posting for my other blog, but I figured that I’d post it here too, given that (a) most of my readers probably don’t read my other blog and (b) I just had a little debate on the issue on my Facebook wall, which prompted me to share this info a little more […]
Saw this at Starbucks today: A piece of banana chocolate chip cake is “only” 270 Calories? That’s kind of a lot of calories. And that’s “guilt free”?? Actually, wait a sec… if they meant to say that the cake was free of guilt, it should have been hyphenated: guilt-free. So they *must* mean that the […]
