Blogging continues, though it isn’t clear if anyone is even looking at what I post.
Hits are wa-a-y down. Where is everybody?
Obviously, the posts are better than ever ( : – ) ), so what’s going on?
Is this pandemic related? Is this something to do with global politics, e.g., blocking in China or EU? Or maybe changes in WordPress reporting. I dunno.
Band Names
As always, I noted some Dave Barry tribute band names, taken from real scientific and technical publictions.
Stochastic Parrots
Neanderthal ears
The Laschamps Excursion (Pronounced Las Champs, or in SoCal, LA’s Champs)
The Chicxulub Impactors (Or just Impactor)
