right now I am completely redoing the UMass Boston Nantucket Field station website (http://umb.edu/nantucket    ---- new version live on Friday January 6th). It will be faster, stronger, and capable of leaping tall buildings. I should be able to update it more, just like I hope to update this blog more often.

Don't forget, that this blog, the one you are reading, by all means stop now! has moved to http://nantucketscientist.blogspot.com/

Just like many typical Monday after the holidays: we have a very dead whale carcass on the sand on the south side of the island. I think it is kind of beautiful, bleached bone with very old and leathery skin. An observant and helpful beach wlaker reported it and if I get permission to post the pics, I will.

Len's blog has been excellent lately; check it out at http://athomewithmybooks.blogspot.com/

Resolution #7643........ post more often, even if you only have time to post something short. Check out my blog above for my other life changing resolution.

last but not least- a cute youtube video of polar bears vs. scientific observation cameras (guess who wins)
