Marcus vs. Owen (t = 1 hr)

By
Here's a comparison of Owen's and Marcus' baby pictures at 1 hour old. Erin and I have differing opinions: one thinks the two boys look different as newborns, the other thinks they look very similar. Not that it matters too much, seeing as they're both perfect in every way. What do you think?

All new babies look the same: squished. That said, the differences between these two are subtle. First glance = same baby. Second glance = related babies.

owen had more hair-or at least it was farther down on his forehead. plus, like you said, owen was 22% bigger. maybe it's because marcus's arms are bent, but owen's arms look longer. but they totally look like brothers. more alike than me, erin and brian looked at teeny-tiny stage.

Owen lacks definition in his pecs, but clearly has an advantage in overall bulk. Marcus appears to have toned up for this competition, but I question his hairstyle choice as it makes him look a bit like United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia - http://www.ocregister.com/newsimages/local/2005/08/30chapman.jpg. It's interesting to note that the brothers have both opted for the left-handed CLAW pose. I'm seeing great things in the boys' future.

I think they are both alike in their perfection. Kelly thinks all babies look like ET..the only difference is some are with and some are without hair. He did say that they got their good looks from John because Erin still has hers.

Hugs from Houston.

A view from your shut down

By
The Daily Dish has been posting reader emails reporting on their " view from the shutdown ." If you think this doesn't affect you, or if you know all too well how bad this is, take a look at the growing collection of poignant stories. No one is in this alone except for the nutjobs in the House. I decided to email Andrew with my own view. I plan to send a similar letter to my congressperson. Dear Andrew, I am a professor of astronomy at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). The CfA houses one of the largest, if not the largest collection of PhD astronomers in the United States, with over 300 professional astronomers and roughly 100 doctoral and predoctoral students on a small campus a few blocks west of Harvard Yard. Under the umbrella of the CfA are about 20 Harvard astronomy professors, and 50 tenure-track Smithsonian researchers. A large fraction of the latter are civil servants currently on furlough and unable to come to work. In total, 147 FTEs...

The Long Con

By
Hiding in Plain Sight ESPN has a series of sports documentaries called 30 For 30. One of my favorites is called Broke  which is about how professional athletes often make tens of millions of dollars in their careers yet retire with nothing. One of the major "leaks" turns out to be con artists, who lure athletes into elaborate real estate schemes or business ventures. This naturally raises the question: In a tightly-knit social structure that is a sports team, how can con artists operate so effectively and extensively? The answer is quite simple: very few people taken in by con artists ever tell anyone what happened. Thus, con artists can operate out in the open with little fear of consequences because they are shielded by the collective silence of their victims. I can empathize with this. I've lost money in two different con schemes. One was when I was in college, and I received a phone call that I had won an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas. All I needed to d...

back-talk begins

By
me: "owen, come here. it's time to get a new diaper" him, sprinting down the hall with no pants on: "forget about it!" he's quoting benny the rabbit, a short-lived sesame street character who happens to be in his favorite "count with me" video. i'm turning my head, trying not to let him see me laugh, because his use and tone with the phrase are so spot-on.
