I’ve often considered making a physics counterpart to my blog (GroupAction) called either “Spooky Action” (which could emphasize explaining physics concepts misused by pseudoscientists) or “Extremal Action” (which could talk about the physics of just about anything extreme, from rollercoasters to supernovae). Anyone else can feel free to take these!

If I had anything to say to the world I’d have used “and his dog” (“og hvermand” in Danish), since everyone already has a blog.

“Extremize the Action” would sound a bit less sexy as the more specific “Minimize the Action,” but the latter sounds more my style.

Someday, if we ever manage to get our act together, there will be a group blog on physics, math, and studying physics as an undergraduate. It’s registered as Fourier Transformers.
