Sorry folks, I had some sudden deadlines and lots of other work piled up, so I won’t be doing any more writing until later tonight (at least). I don’t even have time to write this.

About Bad Astronomy
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He's written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic and fights the abuse of science, but his true love is praising the wonders of real science.
The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking, movie reviews, and all that) can be found here.

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"
-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters
"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."

Oooo a virtual blog
March 8th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
Oh alright, I won’t comment then……

No need to apologise, Phil. It’s not like we’re paying for this. : )

You go and do the things you need to in order to make your deadlines, and I’ll wait patiently to read whatever wonderful thing you blog about when you have time again.
March 9th, 2006 at 2:52 am
Everything you wanted in a blog…and less!
March 9th, 2006 at 4:35 am
Do what you have to do. We can wait.

No, I want something exicting now! You are supposed to fulfill our daily astronomical needs and increase our blood pressure over the likes of Deutsch, et al. How dare you do other things and leave us hanging in a bloggish purgatory. Shame on you Phil, you’re supposed to be like Hydra and do 100 things at once.
Just felt like being different.

I agree with all of the above. I have to admit that your blog is my wake up call every morning.

That is just so sweet that BA’s Mom reads his blog every day. Thanks BAMOM, you must be a great mother.

That’s ok, Phil. Take your time and write back when you can. In the meantime, just ignore all the people looking over your shoulder, drumming their fingers, humming the jeopardy theme song…
March 9th, 2006 at 9:54 am
can’t you please just type in some strings of letter and characters in some random order? We can sit at our computers and try to organise it into a meaningful sentance…..
(Joke: Wouldn’t be much different than your normal writing!)
March 9th, 2006 at 10:15 am
We can wait.
Yup.
Still wait’in
No rush.
Yes sir … we can wait.
Still wait’in.
*sigh*
Is this gonna take long?

Comment lite.
March 9th, 2006 at 10:37 am
Coment lit, now with fewer letters.

Amazing achievement. Since you hadn’t, then you musn’t have- yet there are words. Contrariwise.
This counts as 2 of your 6 impossible things. Assuming that you ate breakfast really, really late.
