Sounds About Right

Seems the science bloggers are having a nerd-off - can't let them have all the fun!

Pandora Doth Betray Me

I like Pandora. It's a cool way to create your own radio station, based on your previous music choices. Sometimes it will surprise you, coming up with stuff you might not have thought of, and in music, surprises can often be good things. But Gloria Trevi? "Estrella de la Manana"? Apparently the bastard love child of my penchant for electronica and Ely Guerra. And the less said about the time Pandora offered up a Hillary Duff tune, the better. (She has albums? Who knew? I think I'm in the wrong demographic.) On that note, I offer a couple of my favorite Ely Guerra tunes - two fairly different ones that show off her versatility:
De La Calle

Peligro

My Name in Lights

Imagine my delight when I saw this headline:

• Theron Defends Cuba Movie

See, the "T" in "Dr. T" stands for "Theron," and my research is on Cuba....

Anyway, East of Havana looks like it might be interesting. I'll reserve judgment on the politics until I've seen it - what a concept!

Exam desperation

I don’t teach science, but the history equivalents of these answers have crossed my desk before.

Certified mostly good

According to the Germatriculator, this site is 80% Good, 20% Evil. Sounds about right.

Ah, coincidence

I was over catching up on Stranger Fruit, where one of John Lynch's posts made me realize that I had founded this blog on the fifth anniversary of the day George W. Bush was given the Presidential Daily Brief headlined, "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S."

Talk about historical implications. But then George has never been big on those.

From now on, I'm telling everyone I planned it that way.
