Reference Hey, they're a billion in the hole, but 1.4 mill is going to study earthquakes.  That's US dollars! All the existing seismologists have a big footprint on their rears and left the building, mainly because it was going to fall down [...]

I've admitted that I am a luddite (really, just a cynic about the brightest, flashiest new thing) here and here and... It will come as no surprise that I was an extremely late smartphone adopter. I was essentially forced to get a smartphone because [...]
