Interesting article at Wired News about the Bush administration's science policies and a (large) group of scientists who have come out against the administration's use of scientific advice in policy decisions. If the scientists really have a case, and I think they probably do, these actions (particularly those based on reproductive health issues and stem-cell research) are just more examples of the Bush administration putting ideology before sound policy.

It's been a busy time here at the Sector. Tim, Ben, and I moved in a few days ago to our apartment. We're in the first floor (including the vast front porch, complete with nigh-unobstructed view of the sorority house across the street) of this big, old house right next to campus. It has its quirks (I have no built-in lights in my room, for example) but it's really cool. Plus, there's the Bonus Room, an add-on/covered back-porch thing. Right now we have a table back there, and not much else. But it's all cool, because it's a bonus room!!

Also exciting is our current internet situation: while waiting the two weeks for the cable company to come and hook up our broadband, we still have wireless access to UK's network. It's pretty cool, and the bandwidth I use to upload this very post is courtesy the university. Heh heh. :)

Many apologies to my loyal readers for the utter negligence I've displayed towards your internet experience the past week+. Look forward to at least one more blog delivered on the university's dollar today, and continued regular posts as we approach the start of the new semester.
