    Neil deGrasse Tyson on Steve Curwood’s show, Living On Earth, explaining why sending people into space is a good thing: CURWOOD: So, tell me, why should we explore space, with people? TYSON: I’ve got my own reasons for exploring space, that I don’t presume others should have these reasons. I think we should explore space… Read.

    Oh hey, looky here. Beer. Lots of it. I managed to get 34 pints out of this batch, same as last time. It seems to be my lucky number. This is the second batch of the season, which I decided just tonight to call Packs A Wallop because it somehow ended up with a pleasantly… Read.

    This latest batch is a little different from any other beer I’ve brewed, mostly because it’s the first time I’ve tried making beer without a recipe. Usually, I think of a beer I’d like to drink, google the name of it, and click through the various recipes until I find one that sounds like it’s… Read.

    Twelve hours later and no activity at all. The yeast seems to be completely inactive. First time that’s ever happened to me. UPDATE: 6:28 pm – False alarm. The beer’s okay. I was a little worried that I did something that would have killed the yeast, and I’ve spent the whole day going over and… Read.
