I just found out about Athanasius Kircher, a 16th-century scientist of sorts who was also an extreme polymath, like Robert Hooke or Leonardo da Vinci. I have to read more about him, but so far I have learned that he created a clock based on the phototropism of a sunflower. Genius. More to come...

First Work Meeting!
Today, I attended my first work meeting at the Exploratorium! I know that most people don't like going to meetings, and I can understand that feeling, but, in some way, my being asked to come to, and even speak at, a meeting, makes me feel, well, important.

Ham Radio Swap Meet!
This weekend, I am going to a local ham radio swap meet. I am hoping to meet some interesting people, and make good science writing contacts. Also, I am slightly interested in amateur radio: it sounds like a fun hobby (though I don't think I will be getting involved any time soon).
