Pressure!

After extremely flattering links from Lawyers, Guns and Money and Cosmic Variance (which is currently featuring an awesome post on the physics of chocolate) I am experiencing a serious uptick in my usual number of readers. Of course, at the moment I'm scatterbrained and boring, so, um, hi new readers! Sorry! Life and all that. Hopefully someday soon I'll get back to my usual, irregularly scheduled program. Though I still can't promise anything particularly tantalizing. Keep those expectations low and we'll both be fine.
