By the way, while we are on the subject, I got a kick out of this interview. From the website:

This month marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth. We discuss the facts supporting Darwinian evolution by natural selection with JERRY COYNE, Professor of University of Chicago in the Department of Ecology and Evolution. His new book is “Why Evolution Is True.”

Follow the link to the website and search for February 13, 2009, or listen here (MP3).

Jerry Coyne was a year ahead of me at college; I knew him slightly. He probably wouldn’t remember me from Adam. If I remember correctly, he graduated with a 3.0 GPA in a college that used a three-point system (a “D” was no points). No easy feat anywhere, certainly not at my school.

He was brilliant and funny then.

He’s brilliant and funny and published now.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
