Closing up for the Holidays, see you in 2014
Once again the blog is closing up for some R&R holiday time. You’ll still be able to poke around to your heart’s content, but I won’t be available to respond to questions or comments until after the New Year.

Closing up shop plus an opening at Chautauqua, my new podcast, phone, book and other random cool stuff
Drowning in debt? Great Ted-Talk on Debt. Short, too. My apologies. I should have posted this a few weeks back.

The Mummy’s head, Particle Physics and “Knocking on Heaven’s Door”
Picking up the 5000 odd-year-old Mummy’s Head I vaguely wondered if I had brought down an ancient Egyptian curse upon my own.
