Carl Sagan and Peter Gzowski

I remember first listening to this interview in 1995. It's a great interview, and it makes me miss being able to listen to Gzowski interview people. These are two people I wish I could have met. In my life, this interview is probably one of many roots to how I look at the world now and where I am going. I even ordered the transcript tape in high school, but I lent it to a teacher. He promptly "lost it", for which I am still mildly bitter.

The Might Be Giants

I am in love with They Might Be Giants at the moment. I got my library to order their album, Here Comes Science, and can't wait to listen to the whole thing.
Niki really likes Meet the Elements, probably because she's a chemist, but I can't stop watching I Am A Paleontogist. Love the dancing dinosaur bones:)





Grain of Salt

I just saw this video via the magic box. As in all America media, I would take it with a grain of salt, and a high degree of skepticism, but I think he asked a good question.
"Can Christianity be rescued from Christians?"
It's an obviously a loaded question, but the fundy subculture does seem to take pride in renouncing facts for faith.
