Intro

I'm a newbie so be gentle and tolerant.

I'm calling this blog "Random Thoughts" and that will probably be fairly descriptive although there may be some common themes running through the commentary. I'll try not to get too incendiary :). My interests are fairly wide-ranging, I think, but will often meander in the realm of science and technology. There will also probably be frequent excursions into current events and political misdeeds. I tend toward freethought philosophy. I like most of "Clifford's Credo", that admonishes us to never accept anything on insufficient evidence.

Here is a link to some beautiful animation of the "complex inner machinery of living cells" from a recent science article in the NYT. http://video.nytimes.com/video/2010/11/15/science/1248069334032/the-animators-of-life.html?ref=science

Enjoy!
