The last post - Penmachine - Derek K. Miller
An interesting post in which Derek K. Miller effective writes his own eulogy. The post was written before he passed and posted to his blog by one of his family members. A bit depressing, but a great read.

A very interesting article on what it means to the author to rejoice in the death of Osama Bin Laden. It's not a celebration of murder, but a celebration of what the elimination of that man means to the world.

a columnist for the peer-reviewed journal Chemical Health and Safety wrote that he'd come to the "disheartening conclusion that most academic laboratories are unsafe venues for work or study."..... interesting stuff... especially that i'm so familiar with some who are so familiar with chem labs.
