An Honor for the BJx Family!


Hearty congratulations to loyal BJx readers Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg for taking home the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics.

I can't even count how many times I overheard Dame-O and Full Count talking about your discovery of Giant Magnoresistance, with stupid Rich chiming in about how weak magnetic changes give rise to major differences in electrical resistance in a GMR system. (Duh!)

Note to Professor Gunnar Öquist and the rest of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: ignore my death threats. You didn't fuck up this year.

I don't get it. New Amsterdam gets "postponed" yet this piece of cinematic doo-doo is, somehow, about to hit theaters.

I haven't been this irate since a group of Chelsea movie theater patrons openly laughed at me for taking a picture of a giant poster of The Comebacks!
