Cross-Country Connections: Mustache
Cross-Country Connections is a Biodork weekly blog entry dedicated to telling stories in pictures of three family members – me, my sister and Mom – living in very different locations across the country. Every week we choose a different theme and then take or contribute a personal photo that fits the theme. This week’s theme is Mustache.
From Mom in Carbondale, Illinois:
My friend, Becca McCarthy.
From me in Minneapolis, Minnesota:
Mustache Mode Zombie Wannabe.
From Erin in Bellingham, Washington:
Sir Ivan, photoshopped like a sir.

6 O'Clock BS: Depressing NPR Stories
Yesterday was a depressing NPR day.
From le awesomely awesome “Teach The Controversy” line of t-shirts from Amorphia Apparel.
I caught part of Talk of the Nation yesterday after lunch. Namely, the part during which Neal Conan gave air time to Don “let the students decide” McLeroy to spout off his nonsense. McLeroy was there because TOTN was doing an interview with the executive producer of the new documentary film The Revisionaries, which is about the adoption (and attempted adoption) of new science and history curriculum standards by the Texas Board of Education. McLeroy is a key figure in the film. Creationism right after lunch gives me heartburn.
And then last night I was driving to Saint Paul for the Minnesota Skeptic’s Newbie Night and I learned about the Fortnight for Freedom. More on the Fortnight for freedom later. It’s…special… and gets it’s own blog post.
I wonder what in store for tonight’s commute. I’m scared!

The Bach Kids – Bach Original Flower Remedies website claims that these concoctions are a “natural way to treat your child’s emotions!” And as you can see on the front of the packaging, Dr. Bach’s remedies are physician-approved…by Dr. Bach!
6 O'Clock BS – Cuddly Creatures Giveaway Winners!
The internet can be a complex and infuriating place. Let’s all take a moment for simple, sweet cuddly knit creatures. You can read about why I’m giving away simple, sweet, cuddly knit creatures here.
I entered the nine names into a random name selector, and the first three names generated were (in order):
- Ophelia Benson wins the Trilobite
- Casper wins the Microbe
- Brian Gregory wins the Neuron
There was no rhyme or reason to matching the winners to the creatures – I lined them up and said whoever gets selected gets [creature].
I’m notifying the winners tonight by email. Congrats and thanks for entering the giveaway!
