I got married this past Saturday! Married to a lady. Photographs available on request. There's also a video on the way. Stay tuned for that.*

In other news, mice can eat a diet of bacteriophage T7 with few ill effects. Who says negative data never gets published?

*"Stay tuned", beyond being a culturally antiquated idiom, is an interesting bit of skeuomorphic language. It's a relic of a time when viewers could be asked to stay on a particular radio or TV station. Most modern radios and TVs aren't manually tuned. The audience also can and will change stations at their own volition. Asking them to remain in place is like asking them to wear the same pants for a week.

  1. Some people will eagerly wear the same pants for a week even without being asked!
