Live Streaming Video from the NC Science Blog Conference

Alas, I could not attend the North Carolina Science Blogging

Conference because of a conflict, but I am so pleased to see that I

can attend virtually at the this web site. As fellow blogger Jennifer

Ouellette says on her blog, "Blogging can be a somewhat isolated

activity. Sure, there's comments and linkages and fostering online

conversations and such, but generally I just plug along, cranking out

my two or three posts a week on whatever topic captures my whimsy that

day. Honestly? Sometimes I forget that I'm not blogging in a void.

Today was a nice reminder that I'm part of a large, vibrant community

that is changing the face of science, science journalism, science

education, and science communication in some very exciting ways."

So far, the sessions are very informative and interesting -- check it

out! What science blogger do you know who has cocktail recipes on

their blog, like this one?:

The Black Hole

So called because after one of these, you have already passed the

event horizon of inebriation.

1 oz. Kahlua

1 oz. vodka.

.5 oz. Cointreau or Triple Sec.

.5 oz. dark rum

.5 oz. Amaretto

Pour into an old-fashioned glass over (scant) ice. Stir gently.

Watch time slow.

Next year, I have to go this!
