Bad Astronomy
Of course, Jeanson ignores another rather obvious and difficult problem: if the Universe is 6000 years old, how do we see galaxies billions of light years away? Creationists have to bob and weave a lot to answer that one. Perhaps the light was created already on its way, or the Universe was created appearing old already. But that would be awfully tricky of a creator, trying to fool us by providing...
Return to Oz
Just sent off this as a sample blog posting to New Scientist in response to their call for graduate bloggers.
Yes I am aware that I graduated 4 years ago and probably a bit old for what they are after….but I’m still as clueless about what to do as the day I left uni.
So that should make up for it….right?

Am Ant Tit
This is the anagram name for Anti Matt.

Just sayin’
How something so large, balanced on the edge of a shoe heel, while moving erratically and wildly, without toppling over is still a mystery to this day.
Urgh. Life decisions.
So I just got an email telling me I would be “ranked highly” if I applied for this job that is pretty much perfect for me. Working along side the Outreach and Education Manager for the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research.
The catch is it will probably mean going back to Perth way earlier than planned and abandoning this life I’ve just started to build in...

Vancouver vs Perth
Now I know that anyone who lives in another country will always have an endless list of the differences between the two cities/cultures/people/fashions/language etc and that shit can get tiring after a while.
But on my recent, brief, return to Australia after living in Vancouver for nine months a few differences were accentuated and some new ones revealed and I’m going to list my top...

“The capacity of this bimbo to combine her smugly invincible ignorance with the vicious cunning a rabble rouser inciting a lynch mob and evade consequences for her actions by hiding behind her Princess Winky Sparkleburst National Review pornstar persona always amazes me. But, damn, even for her, this is so vile it really takes your breath away.”
