Blogs

My main blog is Pandammonia, and it is really just my ramblings. I like to think it's evolved since I started in December 2003 from an I-did-this diary to one containing things like my take on events, my ideas, my thoughts and opinions, and, of course, what I did. It's not updated as frequently as it used to be, but it's certainly not a dead blog.

My second blog is My Books. It started off as a way of keeping a record of what books I have read, but now I also have an online catalogue of my books (see my Reading page). I don't update this one very often - mainly because I never seem to get round to it, but I am trying to update it more frequently, along with writing reviews for each book.

Other blogs

I read various blogs - usually as a way to procrastinate. The ones I check most frequently are listed below for my convenience.

Was Jesus a Palestinian? Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:53:44 +0000

Reports that the textbook The World: Social Studies asserts that: "Christianity was started by a young Palestinian named Jesus." have triggered considerable controversy. Some maintain that this is a gross inaccuracy reflecting the intrusion of anti-Semitism, to which others respond that it is correct and so unexceptionable. The former are correct: the description of Jesus…

Battlestar Galactica season 4 on DVD - yeah right Thu, 09 Oct 2008 23:31:32 +0000

So BG season 4 is being advertised as being on DVD release now. It’s in the supermarkets, Amazon and probably the newsagent. It’s all so exciting, especially the big boxset with all four seasons. Just imagine more or less 2 days of some of the best TV and best SciFi for ages..…

Not so much a rant… Sat, 09 Aug 2008 16:47:42 +0000

as a venting; if I don’t direct my anger, irritation and frustration into some other channel, there’s a very good chance I’ll put my fist through my computer screen. And that wouldn’t be good - its new, shiny and undeserving, and it would just be the modern equivalent of shooting the messenger. No, my wrath is…

It's Saturday night, and am I out having fun? Am I painting the town red? No. Not even beige. I'm studying. Or I was. Alternatively, I might just be looking at web pages related to Planetary Science. Lego Orrery - how neat is that? If there is anyone else reading this who is not out partying, ask me planetary science questions. Or astrobiology ones. Or just silly questions (Planetary science truth or dare, anyone?). This time next week, no more exam!…
