Welcome to my new weblog! The title of this post refers to the title of an unpublished Robert E. Howard story, and also sounds like a perfect way to describe my goals here. I’m a professor of physics who has been flitting and fighting around the blogosphere for some time, and decided it was time to try my hand at this ‘blogging’ thing. For an explanation about the title of the blog, see the ‘about’ page. Some of my influences and inspirations can, of course, be found in the blogroll.

Skulls in the Stars 
Very nice! I can’t wait to see/read more…
Hmm… posted from the office during the work day, huh? Listen, pal, your research is gub’mint funded, and my taxes fund the gub’mint… that means I OWN you. Get back to work on them death lasers and whatnot.

Jeez, one post and two comments in, and I’ve already got my own personal troll! 🙂
Should I feed the troll or let him go away quietly? I have to agree with him though…I OWN you too , but for other, much more devious reasons.
