Georgia 45
Georgia Southern 21
A good start for your Number 1 Georgia Bulldogs.

Game Day: Cake Walk
Today, at long last, marks the beginning of the college football season in the U.S.* It also marks the day that this site makes the temporary transition from well reasoned and researched posts on parenting, music, politics and science to rabidly partisan support of the Number One college football team in the nation, the South’s [...]
Terror in Happy Valley
There is a gang of thugs that are wreaking havoc on the streets of my quiet South Australian suburb. For the third time this week, I’ve been accosted on my way to the bus stop by these hooligans for doing nothing more than walking down the sidewalk with a spring in my step. They’ve come [...]
Science on Thursday: Sugar Never Tasted So Good

R.E.M. - "Laughing": Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadAll that you suffer is all that you are
For the last decade or so, and up until the last couple of months, my work in science has been in academia’s ivory towers. Working as an academic, particularly as a student or post-doc with little responsibility for bringing in grant money, allows for a lot of high minded philosophizing (hence the Ph), grand rhetoric [...]
