tidbits

Hm,
Daily Show is back and on form. And on tape...
Colbert Show was good last night, stopped watching for a while, getting a bit repetitive.
It was, however, worryingly unfunny in places, not because it wasn't funny, but because the humour was cutting too close to the truth. Ornstein was surprisingly good as guest.

We're down to the last tub of skyr... wah. Won't make it to DC for a few weeks either. Stocked on smjör though.

I need data on non-LTE photodissociation constants and near-UV spectra. Really, such things should just be done ab initio, very tiresome. Might have to go to an actual library with like book things. Very quaint.

Protostars and Planets V Proceedings is up on the web and open for access. These are semi-definitive "state of the current art" review articles on planets, planet formation and protostars.
Worth a browse.

New Donut place in downtown has good coffee; good small doughnuts, and the guy who runs it is friendly.
Told him to get some benches and tables for when it gets warmer, like tomorrow apparently.

No winter this year I guess, unless you count that two week episode before christmas...
