A blog (once more) around the Sun

Sid Plait photo

I happen to know that the proprietor of the blog Computers and Networking for Home Owners & Small Businesses is celebrating a birthday today. Why not drop by, and leave him a note?

    Yeah! He’s a big bad bro. Are you really up early blogging, Phil, or was this timed to post this morning?

    OMG… another Plait at the blog table.

    FWIW, one of my sisters blogs (and she’s funnier than I am). Her October entries celebrated ta-tas in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Our sibs always amaze us, don’t they?

    I left a comment on his APOD blog since that webpage is run by the little brother of the rabbi at the school where I teach. Figured it would be an appropriate connection.

    ccpetersen -

    Swedish, huh?

    How about a link to your sister’s site so we can look for ourselves? Do you have your own site?

    BTW, this is Phil’s OLDER brother (pictured above in the hat). He’s the one who amazes ME!

    I wonder if he’ll appreciate the spam? :P Heck, Io don’t think Dr. Plait appreciates my spam here!

    barber,

    click on my name to get to my site… it’s always there. my sister’s is linked from my site, something about a snail.

    ;)

    No, I’m not Swedish. PetersOn is swedish; PetersEn is danish… but neither I nor my DH is swedish OR danish. We just happen to have that name.

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.
