Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. -Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776. Monthly Archives: September 2011. The problem with open science. September 12, 2011. So I went to this talk on Thursday about open science by Michael Nielsen. He quit studying quantum computing, in which he was apparently doing quite well, so he could “work on open science” so he must know what he’s … Continue reading →. Follow me on Twitter!

Some Lies: So here I am once more
http://tideliar.blogspot.com/2013/08/so-here-i-am-once-more.html
Saturday, August 10, 2013. So here I am once more. In the playground of the broken hearts,. One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned. Yet another emotional suicide. Overdosed on sentiment and pride. Too late to say I love you,. Too late to re-stage the play,. Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday,. Fish wrote that for another thought a lifetime away from here. It feels appropriate in a maudlin fashion. I act the role in classic style. Of a martyr carved with twisted smile.

Monday, June 11, 2012. I think, goodbye. I'm shutting down the blog with this farewell post. I'll lock everything one day, but for now, a thank you to the Reader that stuck around for the random posts. I have a lot I want. To write about, and a lot I feel I should. Write about.

Some Lies: November 2011
http://tideliar.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2011. Statements of Lack of Faith. Three recent events are of note and have spurred this little, meandering post and the two to follow when time permits. My friend exclaimed in the tone of voice usually reserved for young adults who make outlandish statements ("I'm going to buy a motorbike mom! Yes, I am." I replied. The dancer spoke up, curiosity in his voice betrayed by the fear and revulsion on his face. "Why do you think you're an atheist? His reply was a thoughtful, "Oh! An inhe...

Some Lies: August 2013
http://tideliar.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 17, 2013. This is a preamble. After the novelty wore off there was sudden, massive culture shock, and with that came rebellion. Everything was wrong for a while, and everyone was annoying and the warmth and openness was suddenly cloying and mawkish. The summers too hot, the winters too cold (who gets frostbite waiting for the bus? I've got my Green Card, and my carry-permit, and in two years I'll likely have Citizenship. Is America perfect? Saturday, August 10, 2013. All my life was the ...

Some Lies: Smoke em if you got em
http://tideliar.blogspot.com/2012/05/smoke-em-if-you-got-em.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. Smoke em if you got em. Smokers lounge, terminal C, Atlanta airport. The Rusher: runs in, sparks up, chokes off a quick gasper and flees. The Lounger: enjoying a relaxing smoke break, no rush. The Cool Guy/Gal: probably still smoking cos the cool kids do it, look of mild panic on the face due to thick fog really showing what's going on. The Social: exhales very loudly to clear the lungs, and also because very short of breathe due to trying not to breathe in the fog.

Wednesday, September 11, 2013. In which I feel a nagging sense of unease and shame. He asked, trying to show me his uncreased prescription and medication notes. I don't know," I stammered, and tried to walk around him. Please, what's tramadol? I really don't know, I'm sorry." I said. "Good luck though.". I walked away, making excuses to myself and then I found myself making excuses for these excuses. It may have been a ruse to panhandle me for smokes or change. Or he might have been one of the more v...
