OK, I'm back. Lot's to talk about, not enough time. So let me bulletpoint you.

• Tim May blogs up a storm in the comments section of this post about the Titan landing. He also points to this helpful summary.
• Speaking of comments, Laputan Logic got its first comment spam. Time to write a new commenting system methinks.
• My Nahkla Dog article "A Dog's Life" now graces the pages of the nakhladogmeteorites.com website - with permission as part of a high-powered digital rights licensing deal.
  
• Still tinkering with the format. Finding columns a bit too constraining.
• Had lot's of fun playing around with Javascript on the notebook computer. Will have something to show for it eventually.
  
• Eating masala thosai is like kissing the face of God - better actually.
• Old news but popular brand "Darkie" toothpaste is now called "Darlie" toothpaste. Cover picture of a smiling negro inverted and now somewhat racially ambiguous. Still in killer peppermint.
  
• Actually stood on a tsunami beach. Not a lot to report beyond that simple fact. Didn't swim.
  
• The true legacy of 911? The plastic steak knife.
• What stands between Malaysia and total food nirvana? Chicken "ham" and beef "salami".
  
• Move over Chicxulub. It wasn't some meteorite that killed the dinosaurs. It was us mammals - we ate their babies.
