The Lammie Blog is dead...long live the..er, nevermind...

I meant to discuss this with the powers that be during OBFT 14, but got sidetracked or stuck in the tarpits of apathy. However, it seems to me, and a number of others out there, that the blog format or medium is not the best one for the idle/stupid/crazy banter that we used to see with the e-mail list. The e-mail list is still active (I won't post the address here for fear of a spammer picking it up and spamming us all) and we probably should start using it. The blog will still be active and is the desired place for posting pictures or movies.

Let me know what you think, yes all two of you that read this...

The Market is Always Right

Next time the science "experts" in the Bush Administration try to tell us that global climate change isn't supported by research, we'd do well to consider the implications of this article. Basically, the world's major insurance companies, who have a massive financial stake in getting this right, are estimating significant increases in expected losses due to climate change-related severe weather. Follow the money, boys, it's usually right.
