MMR Vaccine & Autism
This comic is a fantastic overview of the “Mumps, Measles, & Rubella Vaccine Vs. Autism” situation.
It’s my feeling that a lot of the needle-hysteria that went around during last winter’s H5N1 scare was born out of the paranoia that Wakefield and his followers have fostered – if it hasn’t happened already, it’s just a matter of time before this kind of Luddism gets some sick kid killed.
Even if you don’t know anything about the issue, I encourage you to check out the piece: consider it a mental vaccination against a particularly vicious strain of bunko.

Sweet Bandages
I’m still waiting for the FP production crew to be available, but:
These Tattoo Bandages are fantastic.
I’m sure the kids would love to look down at their road rash, only to discover they look like Merchant Marines.
Kuato
By Federico Piatti of Gorilla Art Fare.
If only we’d timed the baby better, I could have built a fantastic Kuato costume for Halloween.
Follow-up To Adventure
Regarding my last post, life on the road isn’t an easy one.
You can tell by my navigator’s thousand-yard stare.
Still, food\fur is plentiful, and easy to locate in the heat.
Self Contained Biosphere
A combination of the waning populations of the dual Sea-Monkey colonies we maintain, and our impending move, have me really interested to have a go at this self-contained biosphere project.
It would be fantastic for the kids to maintain some of the life of our pond even as we relocate back to civilization.
