GeologyRocksBlogs
Depressing News from the US
I've been thinking about this blogging lark for a couple of days now. The last couple of posts have been geology related and perhaps they would have been better as forum articles. I'm still not sure so here is something a bit more off topic.
Thought I'd join in...
Hi,
I'm not really sure what passes for a decent blog? However, I shall endeavour to have a go. After all, I can't have this newfangled technological means of communication getting the best of me!  (I just put that in because I like it...).

Creationist gets Palaeontology Ph.D.
Done!
Finally, GeologyRocks 3 is up! It's still far from "finished", but it's little tweaks here and there, a few help pages to add and some content that had been submitted, but not yet uploaded to add. Still, I should get these things done in the next few days/weeks
There's bound to be a few things that haven't quite worked right, so please let me know if you do find anything that isn't working.
Time for some breakfast I think, then start adding those pages!
Hope you like GR3!

Which i don't think is bad considering doing a physics exam this morning. But i know the reason for me feeling good; i had my lucky stone on the desk in front of me. Its about an inch and half long, by inch wide. made of shale, with quartz veins running length ways along it.
Theape's first go at a blog thingy!
just having a go! 'cos i'm sitting here at college bored and pondering if i want to go and revise physics.
