“With GigaPan Time Machine, you can simultaneously explore space and time at extremely high resolutions,” said Illah Nourbakhsh, associate professor of...

READ THE WHOLE THING. DAMMIT. Now I’m sad.
Well, Mitch Daniels is up to more fuckery.

Scenes from the real world: The week that was
Hello all. I’ve missed you. *fingers crossed* I’ve finally got a semi-stable internet connection, for the first time all week. Between the ISP fail, and weirdness with my mobile network, I’ve been seriously considering that Skynet might have taken over.
It’s been a pretty hectic week at work, with quite a lot of stress and juggling. When you feel as if you ought to buy...

Doctor Who - A Myth for a Modern Age
“We’re all stories in the end.” - the Doctor
Today is St. George’s Day in England, and it’s Easter weekend, and it’s Shakespeare Day. Whew!

Doctor Who is an enduring myth...

Blog: Le Carnavale De Aleatoire C'est Aleatoire
Sitting in my living room, watching Doctor Who. I can’t yet watch an episode with Elisabeth Sladen, I’ll probably burst into heaving sobs.
I’m still gathering thoughts on her life, and the absence left by her passing. She deserves the outpouring of affection from Doctor Who fans, and I’ll be passing along bits and bobs as they cross my dashboard and my twitter feed.

(link via @geekgirldiva’s blog.)
My response to the original post is here, and the review of HBO’s Game of Thrones is linked within it. Below, is my response to Ginia Bellafante’s latest attempt to dodge the internet’s outrage at her misogyny, and failure to actually do her job.
This is the comment I just submitted to that post:
Ms. Bellafante, you’re still missing...
