In less then 24 hours I'll be in California for the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting 2010. First thing Monday I shall present my initial results from this past summer's research. And with any luck, I'll get a better feel of what sort of job prospects I'd have if I continued on with this lightning thing ( Read more... )

Someone should point out that I should title this Back in the Green, but I've been back in Hanover land for a couple weeks now, so blarg to that! Plus this title is a little more in line with my day ( Read more... )

So, the political conventions are now over. I do have to say that though I disagree with most of what he talked about, John McCain didn't fundamentally insult me on every level imaginable.
