Farewell to 2009
Despite this headline, 2009 has been the best year of my life to date. How can this be you ask? The economy tanked, the government bailed out some of the biggest corporations on the planet, and we got stuck with the bill, what was good again? Well, I met and got engaged to the most wonderful woman I could ever imagine, and I got a great job at a law firm in Hanover. What more could a guy ask for? Moral? Think positive, try hard, ignore the news, and you might just get lucky :)

The East Anglia emails are just the tip of the iceberg. I should know.
Few people understand the real significance of Climategate, the now-famous hacking of emails from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU). Most see the contents as demonstrating some arbitrary manipulating of various climate data sources in order to fit preconceived hypotheses (true), or as stonewalling and requesting colleagues to destroy emails to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the face of potential or actual Freedom of Information requests (also true).
