Personal Blogs I Read. Tech Blogs I Read. Brian Marick's Exploration Through Example. A weblog covering security and security technology. Website: http:/ www.freealf.com/. I'm a computational astrophysicist. No, really, I am. I build simulations of things like clusters of stars and try to see if we really understand how complex systems work.

Astronomy, astrophysics, computation and culture. January 08, 2008. MacGyver Tip: Get Red Wine Out of Carpet. So I knocked a full bottle of red wine over in my kitchen today, and it smashed and flooded my carpet with red wine. Smooth, eh?

Semper Commutans: June 2005

That is, unless "hendersonisafuckingtart" wants to step up and list who they are, pushing it to a playoff round. If not, then Sam wins the points and I win this round of the game of Internet. I finally got my degree framed and hung it in my office. Within 20 minutes, I began to resent it. I felt like such a communist pig-dog. Posted by Chris at 9:38 AM. Friday, June 24, 2005.
