Welcome to the column for all carbon-based life-forms. If you breathe oxygen, this is for you. And if you live on a planet, especially Earth, well, then, you’ve come to the right place.

It also reminded me that the Oscars are coming up, and I haven’t seen many of the nominees, so I’ve got to get on that to make my predictions. Last year, I was more surprised at how boring and pretentious many of the movies are than I was impressed,... Read More
