Astro physicists for hire



Will work for Argand diagrams.
.
Saw Mr Hewlett last week. He's doing well. Also in Los Angeles. Getting off an exploding planet is easy, getting out of LA - not so much. 
.
Looking forward to Creation con next week in Vancouver. They tell me that I'm going to be in the cabaret on Friday evening. Oh really? ...That should be interesting.
.
Speaking of interesting here's a great link if you have a spare hundred minutes and a high speed connection. Those channel Four people have got it going on! Hope they pull out of the financial mess. I hope we all do. Oh and one more: I'm going to see this for sure.

Creation in Vancouver


Quick post, no pictures... oh well here have one - (Hi Chuck and Jerry - remember work?...)
.
Looks as though I'll be a last minute addition to the line up at the Creation convention in Vancouver April 3rd (The Friday, I believe) Even though I'm not yet on the website because, well I don't know why. So come on out. I'll see you there. (More on this later, when I have more time...)

Two doctors and a wraith walk into a bar...





...and the bartender says "what'll it be?..."  and the Wraith goes: "I'll have the tuscan chicken quesadilla with the tabouli salad" and the first doctor says "I'll have the Huevos Rancheros and a coffee" and the second doctor goes "Do you have rye toast?".
.
...and that's all of the joke that I can remember. 
.
Meet Aaron Craven a recent Wraith Commander and all around television visionary (r), and the unbuttoned and unHINGED Paul McGillion (l), mid crosswalk on Sunset. It's finally stopped snowing in Los Angeles and the sun has come out, so we've been going around the neighbourhood sitting in people's lawn furniture, just to check out, you know, how it feels.
.
The Simpsons have a star on the boulevard. All is right.
.
Speaking of rye toast, Gehry's Disney Concert Hall  is quite an awesome building. It sits like a burning element in downtown L.A. I didn't go inside, but walked all around it. The sun hits it and it illuminates like a hot ember. Many modern buildings are cool, watery - they flow and soothe, but this building starts fires and browns delivery vans. Very neat. Good metaphor for a philharmonic orchestra.
