I just thought I'd take advantage of the short grace period we seem to be getting here to post an easy link to my new blog, "Entropybound". Just click through via the black dot (Malevich's "Black Circle" [1913], actually...)
I've probably mumbled a bit about "entropy bounds" various times over the last year, as the concept has been kicking around my brain for a few years now. I'm fully aware that I'm not professionally qualified to do so, not being a general relativist or a string theorist. Still, there have been enough analogies between RHIC physics and black hole physics made in the last year (in fact, 2005 seemed to be the year for those analogies!) that i'm optimistic that the concept won't remain completely out of my purview forever.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it: please have a look and leave me a note saying hi if you can. But needless to say: all of us post-QD bloggers are definitely going to miss Kevin and Chelsea's involvement!
This must be an administrative mistake, but why fight it? I just finished watching one of my old favorite movies -- Yellow Submarine -- only to find only a million Einstein references over the course of the film, mainly by "John" and mainly having to do with the malleability of time (running forwards, backwards, looping, repeating...).
