    Eclipse 2024

    Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse

    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?

    Quantum Decoherence

    Happy end-of-2023 everyone.

    I just posted a new story.

    This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.

Imponable Interlude · 9:20pm January 14th

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?

We are the Flutter Ponies, better run and hide. We can zig and zag and zoom, up and down and side to side.

We've all got the same adorable tails, we've all got the same adorable manes, we've all got the same adorable hooves!

I did not know what I should do first—whether to eat the grass, or roll over on my back, or lie down and rest, or have a gallop across the meadow out of sheer spirits at being free; and I did all by turns.

You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time!

We are the Flutter Ponies, now you’ve met your match. Faster than a lightning bolt, we’re impossible to catch

Hello! Great news! There are no timberwolves!

A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!

Didn’t you hear about the UFO?
No, not us, we just wanted to see the flying saucer.

I promise as long as I am princess, you will have a rainbow every day, each one more spectacular than the last.

Fuzzy pops in the summer! Funky horn fashions in the fall! Lighting the glowpaz stones on each day of the Wishiehoof holidays! Glow horn hats! Staring at the sky crystals shooting across a shimmering, starry sky! Crunchy unicorn corn cakes! Sweet, salty horn-shaped strudel! Knitting scarves for armadillos in the winter!

Maybe it has something to do with the glowing girl, or the hole in space. Or my talking dog!

It looks just like the sea front at Southend.

I have something extremely important to tell you about the future, and I only have a few seconds, so you've got to listen! Whatever you do, don't–

My little pony, my little pony
All in a twinkling, spring is here
My little pony, my little pony
When did all the leaves and grass appear?
Where there were snowdrifts
Now there are no drifts
Nor is the sky overcast
My little pony, my little pony
Winter is over at last!

Okay not really, it is in fact mid-january and the snow isn't going anywhere fast. But I did recently watch both G1 and G2 for the first time, so I recognized almost all of these.

I didn't recognize most of them, but this gave me such a lurch of nostalgia in my heart I had to comment.

I did recognize the runaway rainbow ones n_n
