Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Eliza Dushku's on Conan O'Brien's show this evening.

Just finished the opening monolog, and it sounds like she's not the first guest, so grab that remote and get some foam.

I'm sure I'm late with this, but I had to announce anyway:

Farscape is coming back! Details to follow.

Thanks all of you for your support for the campaign.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Be very careful opening any messages from PayPal:

A computer virus that camouflages itself as a message from PayPal has started spreading among home users, antivirus companies said on Friday. The program is a variant of the Mimail virus, which has previously spread by appearing to be a security advisory from Microsoft.

The latest verson of the program is attached to an e-mail forged to look as though it came from PayPal, an online payment service bought by eBay last year. Running the program infects the victim’s computer and asks the PC user for credit card information, which the virus then sends to the attacker.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Okay, I'm a mostly-lurking newbie whom no one knows, but I think this is really exciting: I'm about to go off on a grand adventure for science! I'm going to be part of Extreme 2003, an expedition to the East Pacific Rise (a few days' sail west of Costa Rica) to study deep sea hydrothermal vents! I feel very lucky to have gotten this opportunity as part of my graduate studies. In particular I'm working with interesting molecules in the Pompeii worm, a critter that lives right on hot vents at the bottom of the ocean, and may be the most heat-tolerant higher organism on the planet. We'll be spending almost a month at sea on the research vessel Atlantis, which is the mother ship for the submersible Alvin. While this hasn't yet been decided, I'm hoping to get a chance to ride Alvin to to bottom of the ocean!

As part of the expedition, coordinated through the University of Delaware College of Marine Studies, an educational outreach is taking place on the Internet. Students from around the globe will be able to follow our expedition via a web site. I invite you to do the same at:

(at the moment this page is just a placeholder; the entire site should go live within the next week, so keep checking--I leave on 27 November and we leave port the next day!)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue News!

Rob Hall, the designer of all those gorgeous demons on Angel, asked if we wouldn't mind polling the fans, to ask which demons they'd really lurve to see at the party.

Post suggestions, and I'll put together a poll from them.

I heart Rob Hall. AND YOU SHOULD, TOO.

There's a LiveJournal for the Angel Party, for those of you who dig that sort of thing. Weirdos.

I'm posting this on behalf of the Browncoat Ball Committee, a group of Firefly fans that I am a part of, who are volunteering their time, talents, resources and enthusiasm to organize the very first Browncoat Ball, which is being held in Chicago, Sept. 17-19, 2004. ( www.browncoatball.com ) We consider ourselves to be Browncoat Ball attendees, as well as hosts. We will be staying in the hotel with the other Browncoat Ball attendees and will be paying the full events fee. We realize it's quite awhile off yet, but we wanted to get the word out so people can start making plans now, if they're interested.

Summary of Activities

Immerse yourself in the culture of the Far East at the Sihnon Welcome Party. Enjoy watching Firefly episodes with your favorite Browncoats in the Blue Sun Room. Saturday, Sept. 18, 2004:
