@Coldguy I've done a few short youtube videos of my spiders, but that's such a tiny fraction of what's actually involved.

@Coldguy What? Like a continuous couple of years of slowly moving microscopic quantities at a lab bench, mixed with hours of reading, & hours of squinting at data on a computer?

I can't think of much that would be more boring.

Get your Darwin Day celebration off to an early start -- I'll be speaking at noon today.

@generica Yeah, I consider Leo Igwe a friend, & I've donated to the Kasese school…but I've also known a flaming anti-feminist Africans.

I started my day by walking barefoot into my dark office and stepping in a mushy, slimy pile of cat puke. I'm taking it as an omen.

I'm not feeling well, and my wife is insisting on watching the SOTU tonight.
