Life Imitates Art

Glenn Reynolds points out a study by American climatologists that suggests that humans have managed to avert an ice age by creating greenhouse gasses. He also notes a novel about a world in which the PC people have won, humans have reduced the greenhouse gasses, and the earth is creeping towards another ice age. Looks like another example of life imitating art.

C'mon Snow!

Well, we're supposed to be getting a couple inches of snow tonight. After yesterday's fiasco I hope that people will drive with some sense. But I doubt it. At least this time it's supposed to snow overnight so maybe folks won't even try going to work in the morning. Unfortunately I'm stuck working tonight after a normal workday so I'll get to drive home in the stuff come morning. Whoo hoo!

WRAL's website has some neat, and not-so-neat, photos of all the fun folks were having yesterday. The link is on the front page beside the weather map. Just look for the cute snowflake. Yeah, I said cute snowflake.

Update: Well, turns out we didn't get much snow. I saw a little bit when I left work at 3am. So North Raleigh got some but Durham didn't get any. Guess it's time to treat the snow forecasts like we used to in Boone. If the media say snow, no snow. But in Boone, trust Ray Russell who is not only an amateur meteorologist, but a professor at Appalachian State University. Go Mountaineers!

What's on the radio

So I'm sitting here at work waiting for a conference call to start and listening to the local college radio station WKNC. Sometimes I like the stuff these kids listen to, but they've been playing some whiny junk in the past few minutes. Stuff like Radiohead. The one good thing is that the selection is so random that something good will come on in a minute.

Good Morning Blogosphere

Well, I figured I might as well start a blog, seems like everyone else has. So welcome to my blog.

I'm not really sure what's going to appear here, but I imagine that everyone will want to check it daily to find out what will appear next. No promises that I'll even update daily, but who knows.
