Simplifying the complex and complexifying the rest: Ravings on physics, politics, education, motoring, and the Harvard comma.
Monday, Oct 21, marked the arrival of the first Holiday Catalog of the season ... that I noticed.
Today, three more arrived. I sense a trend.
Remember last year?
Should I repeat the exercise this year?
I'm worried that I missed some earlier this fall, messing up the data collection process, but it could be that they held off because of (a) the massive election mailings or (b) the economy or (c) I did not notice the first ones because of the massive election mailings.
Dr. Pion is a pseudonym for a physicist whose research once included study of the pi meson. His expertise also includes the history of nuclear weapons and proliferation, but his main interest today is teaching "physics for scientists and engineers". He uses the pseudonym CCPhysicist when commenting in certain blogs because he teaches at a community college.
There is no connection at all between this blog and the real people (a veterinarian and a physician) known as Dr. Pion who show up in a Google search on this name.

You minimized me the other day, and I'm in no position to do anything about it. You spoke out about something that you don't have enough knowledge on, and made me look like a fool. I don't think you even are aware of it.
I wish I could tell this to your face, but you've damaged my position enough already.
Naive blogger:
What did I do? What did I say? Panic! I guess I won't keep track of Holiday Catalogs this year ...
Rational blogger:
Why not just blog about it anonymously? Oh, right, you just did. Hope that helps.
Experienced blogger:
Troll on.
