2007 Gruber Prize in Cosmology
To those of you who don't read my other blog, I am (along with many others) the recipient of a major prize in Cosmology. Read my blog about it here:

and the press release here

In other news, I will be leaving Vanderbilt, and physics and astronomy altogether, because the pressures of pre-tenure stress were killing me, and because I have the very cool opportunity to go work with Linden Lab on Second Life. Read more about that here:

The irony of the timing of these two things is left as an exercise for the reader.
