When they decided to change over the newswire to the new format, I was honored to be kept on as a columnist. It's called "Awe and Wonder" because those are sentiments appropriate to the contemplation of the universe. I'm still a geek and culture writer and will still cover science and high weirdness, except now I'll be delving deeper. Check out my first proper column, "How Gaia Got Her Groove Back", which deals with the intricate relationship between science and faith, particularly through the lens of spiritual ecology. If you find Rosicrucians and/or environmental issues to your taste (or even if you don't), please let me know what you think. I love reading your comments.

My friends TheFox and LittleFierceOne got engaged this weekend! Because nothing feels quite as bizarrely sweet as a good, old-fashioned journal bombing, y'all go congratulate that super-fabulous, ultra-gorgeous couple on the happy news.

That's the excitement around these parts, really. For me it's all lattes and literaturas latinoamericanas these days, apart from traveling when I can get it.



Oh, and impersonating tyrant lizard kings.


Oh, and getting naked.



Thanks to Brooklyn for ruling it and to oyaji for the location, the tea, and just generally being wonderful.
