It's been an interesting weekend at the Blasthold. Along with me and the DW celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary, I spent a bunch of time talking with the producers of "The Colony". One of my students will probably be on it and she told the producers about me. The producers looked up my blogs, forums posts, and a few other projects that I'm involved in then asked if I wanted to be on the show.

Unfortunately, I'd have to leave work for ten weeks (not to mention be shut away from my family) and the $8k-10k they'd pay me wouldn't replace my lost job. I guess that's why all the scientists and engineers on these shows are retired.

Alas, turning fear and dread into fame and fortune is difficult.
