	<title>Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent &#187; Nature</title>

	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Been busy since we got back from our Myrtle Beach vacation. We had a great time, got to hang out with some of my family, ate way too much food, played mini-golf, went to the aquarium, and more. I didn&#8217;t spend a lot of time taking pictures, but I did grab some on the beach [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read an article titled &#8216;10 Misrepresentations About Climate Change&#8216; on Southern Fried Science. The article&#8217;s author, &#8216;WhySharksMatter,&#8217; made a valiant attempt at being balanced, and I applaud him for that. Five of the &#8216;misrepresentations&#8217; were on the so-called &#8216;skeptic&#8217; side of the climate change discussion, and the five others were on the climate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I was in a meeting this afternoon in an interior conference room at the office. It was running a bit longer that I expected, and I was beginning to worry that it would run over into my next meeting. The next meeting was at 2pm, and it was past 1:50 already. I don&#8217;t remember [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote in May 2010 about &#8220;The Boy Who Cried &#8216;Car Bomb&#8217;, pointing out that the constant barrage of terrorism false-alarms (and fire drills) has made us less capable of dealing properly with actual emergencies. It hearkens back to the age-old fable of the boy who cried &#8216;wolf,&#8217; which serves as a cautionary tale about being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I have read quite a bit by and about Stephen Hawking. Hawking, a brilliant theoretical physicist and cosmologist, excels at communicating complex scientific concepts to laymen. His most well-known work, A Brief History of Time, was first published in 1988 and has sold well over ten million copies. It is among my favorite [...]]]></description>

Then, yesterday afternoon (Saturday), we went down to Hains Point and the Tidal Basin ostensibly to see the cherry blossoms. Of course, one cherry blossom looks the same as any other [...]]]></description>

The quake, measuring a whopping 9.0 magnitude, is among the five strongest ever recorded. It spawned a devastating tsunami up to thirty feet high that further decimated areas of northern Japan [...]]]></description>

It was good to get away together for the weekend and relax and do a little touristing. We went up on Friday night, stayed the night at [...]]]></description>

Tomorrow is looking like it&#8217;s going to be the hottest day of the year—possibly the hottest day in many years—in the D.C. metro area. According to the National [...]]]></description>
