Now that I've finally broken through the creative logjam and started to think about blogging my world, the ideas for things to talk about are beginning to take shape. Here are some of the subjects on my mind that might be popping up here in the near future:
- The Aquarium Dream -- Can a dream be so pleasant, so calming, so comforting, that it's horrible?
- White Birds -- Thoughts on the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge and the American (and by no means uniquely American) tendency to love things to death
- (Re)Tired Science -- Looking at science in the national interest, from the standpoint of one who retired after doing it for thirty-plus years and wonders if it's still worth it
- Rose among the Thorns -- How did a particular webcomic, by a skilled but not exceptional artist whose other work is in the "meh" class (IMO), create one of the most compelling characters I have ever seen in any fictional medium?
- Facebook Feminism -- Just you try to be a male, particularly one over age 40, and take any of the "What kind of XXX are you?" quizzes that pop up on Facebook these days.
One of the brightest celestial outbursts in the universe today (for certain relativistic definitions of "today"...) is right in our own cosmic backyard -- and most of us are unaware that with little more than a big pair of binoculars, we can faintly glimpse it if the skies are dark enough. If. But that's a subject for another time.
