So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's been in the high 60s here the last two days. It's weird.

Meanwhile, it's colder than usual in Alaska. Which to Sarah Palin means there's no global warming.

The cherry trees are in bloom in front of my office. Usually that doesn't happen until rather later in February.

Weird weather, y'all.

I have my windows open and a fan drawing air in. Probably only for another hour, but it's nice to air out the house.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw a bunch of Canada geese today, and I'm pretty sure we don't usually have them here this time of year -- not sure if they were going north or south!

Yeah, Ohio's had a Georgia-style winter. (I am grateful, at least as far as my gas bill is concerned.)

Because books.

There was a gorgeous fat red cardinal in a tree the other day. He apparently missed the memo about heading south.

Sara wanted to wear flip-flops today, but I only went as far as no coats.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This is the most beautiful performance report ever. [link] I'm in tears.

Another cool and freaky way for Science to read your mind:

Breakthrough: The first sound recordings based on reading people’s minds

Neuroscientists have developed a way to listen to words you've heard, by translating brain activity directly into sound. Their findings represent a major step towards understanding how our brains make sense of speech, and are paving the way for brain implants that could one day translate your inner thoughts into audible sentences.

You can listen to a recording of words played to the test subjects and the sounds the scientists reconstructed by studying their brain activity.

Livin' in the future, man....
