    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

Those are some very rich scientists, no wonder it's a fairy tale.

After blowing down the first mobile home, the wolf looked around, but all of the graduate students who were splitting the rent were all still in the school lab.

After blowing down the second home made of cheap 2x4s and Chinese wallboard, the wolf looked around, but the scientist was off in the industrial lab, trying to cram 48 hours worth of tests into the last 12 hours before the product was scheduled to be released by a set of idiots who did not understand physics.

After trying and failing to blow down the third house made out of bricks, the wolf let himself in by the key under the mat and looked around, but the retired scientist was out on a multi-state lecture tour, trying to get funding for the University to open up a lab in his field.

That was wonderful, as were the previous three comments.
