Amy and I were amazed at how dark the sky was as we were driving along Highway 60 near Hustisford, Wisconsin (which is a bit of a stretch because nothing is near Hustisford).

White House engaged in systematic effort to manipulate climate change science

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 18:33:25 GMT

Best summed up by a quote from Congressman Henry Waxman, House Oversight Committee Chairman:

The evidence before the Committee leads to one inescapable conclusion: the Bush Administration has engaged in a systematic effort to manipulate climate change science and mislead policymakers and the public about the dangers of global warming.

The rest of the report is just as damning. It’s short, I’d recommend taking a look if you’re even the least bit interested in the politics of climate change.

Time Sensitive CSS Switcher

A front-page Digg story about swapping out CSS files depending on the time of day. It’s nice to see so many people interested in the technique, I guess I’m just a little surprised people are finding the idea so groundbreaking. This guy does it with Javascript, and while that’s not a bad idea, I still think a server-side solution is best.

Yikes. May I take this opportunity to once again thank my parents for their old snowblower. Looks like it’s going to be a doozy.

Funny to see data from my alma mater being used inappropriately

Global warming may have big effect on air pressure

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:37 GMT

Apparently they’re only capturing about 10% of the observed changes in pressure in the models
