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?
About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
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 has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

"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?"

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?
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.
