    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?

    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.

Notes from a Nordic realm · 7:40am Aug 10th, 2018

I am currently in Helsinki. Here because the International Conference for Physics Students, an event I attended regularly in times past, is having an alumni thing, so I get to relive the glorious days of my youth, mixing travel and physics. To makes things more interesting, I lugged my backpack through Stockholm, and then spent a day cycling in the Åland Islands (between Sweden and Finland), before boarding an overnight ferry.

Took Rainbow Dash with me. Her mane flew very nicely in Baltic breeze, until knocking her over.

Given the heatwave across Europe I’m glad I decided to come here this year instead of going to the Mediterranean.

Oh, is that the new stunt Rainbow Dash has been practicing? I don't know, it looks like it still needs some work.

:rainbowderp: "Gah! Stupid breeze. You eggheads are giving it ideas!"

Ooooo, Rainbow Dash sparkle-mane. Pretty.

Looks like Helsinki needs more pegasi. Only one weather pony, even as awesome as Rainbow Dash, seems hard pressed... or bowled over.

Whee! Suomi mainittu! :pinkiehappy:

Hope you'll have a good time at the conference, Pineta! We're having a brief return of the hot weather today, but it should cool down over the weekend. Want any suggestions for sights to go all tourist over?

Sure, throw any travel tips my way. I expect I'll be busy for the weekend, but should get a bit of free time after that. Kiitos.

¡You Pony-Physicists and your rockstar lifestyles! :rainbowdetermined2:

I am extremely jealous. I hope Rainbow appreciates those open skies!
