As I got tired of spending $50 a week for the privilege of going to work, I’ve been commuting on the bus for a little while and it has given me an extra hour or two a day to get some reading in. Recently, I finished Jim Endersby’s A Guinea Pig’s History of Biology. […]
Every now and again I get somebody ostensibly interested in advertising on this website. As you may or may not be aware, I am what is called in this Web 2.0 world an “opinion leader” who drives the common knowledge on matters of great import, and as a result my advertising rates are steeper […]
