Cloudy open thread

Traffic at the blog has been very high, as I have been getting lots of links to the Gabriel Latner speech at Cambridge as well as to the story about "The Virginity Capsule."

The comment widget on the sidebar seems broken, and I cannot get it fixed the way that my Echo commenting system was set up giving them more money. I'll wait and see if it gets fixed. (UPDATE: Seems to be working again.)

I added some ads on the bottom of the sidebars and the page, where they should not bother any reader but where they seem to still pay a small amount. Not sure if they are affecting page load times, though.

Anyway...here's an open thread.
