.: The following are posts which I think won’t waste your time if you choose to read them. They might enlighten you, they might entertain you, or perhaps they might even change you (if only on a momentary neurological level — but hey, change is change).

Doctor Dad and Doctor Dad Revisited
.: Covers the two nights I spent at the hospital shadowing my dad, presented entirely as excerpts from conversations with patients.

I Am A Terrorist or “How I Threatened to Burn My Professor at the Stake” and Fifteen Minutes or “Reflections on Becoming a Terrorist”
.: By far my most infamous post, and some selected responses. A monster of a comment thread, with new comments still occasionally appearing. Somehow got James Randi’s attention, which sent the story across the whole of the internets. Briefly received a second life when someone submitted it to reddit.

Adventures in Memory, Trip to Austin, Adventures in Austin
.: A trilogy of photoblogs I wrote after stealing my brother’s camera. Also explains why I’m wary of any combination of chocolate and raspberries.

Intelligence Denied and Science Fair or “Isn’t This What Science Is All About?”
.: Two science-related posts. One about anti-science forces at my university, and another straightforward post on two interesting science experiments.

P.I.G. or “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Factually Incorrect Guides”
.: Some fun parodies of the awful Politically Incorrect Guide series. Also attained brief globalwebnet popularity.

Biolistics or “Maybe We Could Just Shoot It?”
.: A simple introduction to perhaps the coolest science trick ever.
