  • Alors on danse...

    Tired + Unfocused = Danceparty! If that is not the proper orthography, it most def' should be. There are few things more awesome than smashing "dance" and "party" together into one, epic-good-time word. And yes, an exclamation point should always follow. Since I turned in the brief Monday, I've fina…
  • Interested in Philosophy, Theology, Skepticism, History, Worldview, Debate, or a Good Podcast

    Socrates (from what I hear and in fact read and forgot in Greek class in his Apology) said that the unexamined life is not worth living. If I get a chance to meet Peter Adamson in person, I'm pretty sure I could get him say, "The unruminated philosophical grass of history is not worth digesting." (P…
  • A Letter (the March the Sixth the Fourth)

    Dear Prometheus, As true to the names, you were beautiful and tormented; and as true to the names, we played a skittering game Of back and forth and pain and love I could feel when you cried in agony in my spine, and just as I thought I could reach you you were yanked away From me and my life fore…

I've compiled it all into a single document that is available to you all for only $5.00. JUST KIDDING. It's free! Click Here It may be easier to print it th…
  • The Ancient Greeks

    The book I read to research this post was The Ancient Greeks for Dummies by Stephen Batchelor which is an excellent book which I bought from kindle. The ancient greek civilisation lasted for 2,500 years & died out around the time of Jesus which was as a result of a roman invasion. The ancient gr…
  • 2012

    Have your broken your New Years Resolution yet? I haven't, but that's only because I didn't make one. #GreekPhysique told me to use my inferior intellect and post my predictions for 2012. Unfortunately, it's been over a month since I wrote that last sentence, and New Years Resolutions have been ec…
  • NIGHT SKY 2012 - Jim Colyer

    I joined the Barnard-Seyfert astronomy club in Nashville. The group met at the Adventure Science Center. Eagle-eye Barnard (1857-1923) was born in Nashville. He was a great observer. He photographed the Milky Way and discovered the first Jovian moon since Galileo. Carl Seyfert was influential in…

    http://jimcolyer.com/papers/entry?id=2 I have had four rounds of astronomy. Round one was as a teenager in the early 1960s. I learned the constellations and watched meteor showers. Round two was in my 30s. I got into cosmology, learned the features of the moon and wrote my first astronomy paper. Rou…
