Suw Charman is asking all bloggers to take part in Ada Lovelace Day by blogging about a woman in tech they admire. Sign the pledge!
- 2009-01-11 11:18:16I've only just noticed that people are looking for Jonathan Ross's Twitter stream via my blog, so thought I'd make it easier. He's here.
- 2009-01-01 12:36:16If you missed Brian's Horizon 'Do You Know What Time It Is?' last night, and you are in the UK, it's available on the BBC's iPlayer.
- 2008-12-03 13:32:49Friend him here! You need to be signed into Facebook, but if it still doesn't work for you then sign into Facebook and search for Jonathan Stephen Ross.
- 2008-11-23 16:29:13Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...
- 2008-10-30 15:29:51I was looking for a photo of me on Flickr and stumbled across these pics of Brian and me at SciFoo.

A couple people in the comments have said they think Brian should take over from Richard Dawkins when he retires this year. If you're on Facebook, you can join the Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job group. Not started be me incidentally.
- 2008-09-15 14:05:46Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.
Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/
Ah well...

Gia Milinovich is an American ex-pat, a science groupie and professional dork.
Gia's a TV presenter, enjoys taking photos, is married to physicist Professor Brian Cox and thinks writing about herself in the third person is "cool".

Reminds me of a philosophy professor who suggested that I don’t refer to the Higgs as the “God Particle” during my final presentation as to not give the god-fearing students any indication that a god exists.
If god were a particle;
and particles makes each one of us and the universe;
then god did make each one of us and the universe.
god is inside us, flows through us, and binds the universe together…
stop playing with that…that’s god. You should be ashamed.
Haha, I have a feeling you’re being sarcastic but something tells me you may be serious. That worries me.
A priest, atheist, and a quantum physicist are sitting in a pub when the bartender asks, “Is there an afterlife?”
The priest replies, “Of course there is, it is so written in the bible.”
The atheist replies, “Of course there isn’t, there is no evidence anywhere to support such a ridiculous idea! Hey, you there, the physicist, you agree with me, right?”
The quantum physicist turns quietly and replies, “Since afterlife is an event unobservable to the living, and the only way to know for sure is to actually die and personally observe the results, and it appears that there is a 50% chance to either possibility…”
Everyone stares at the physicist.
The physicist continues, “The correct answer is that yes, there IS an afterlife AND no, there ISN’T an afterlife.”
Alex,
Since getting gored to death by a wildebeest on your trip to South Africa next week is unknowable by anyone before you go to South Africa… would you therefore say it is 50% likely to happen? Especially if you’re going to sit in wineries for the whole time.
