Hello, my friends, and welcome to Phacton. What is Phacton, you ask? It's my little blog project - my daily attempt to learn a bit of science and share it with my friends, loved ones, and (hopefully) strangers.
As a disclaimer, I am not a scientist. Sometimes I pretend to be, but that's just to pick up guys at the bar. (What?! I live in Seattle. It's nerds ahoy here.) Lack of science degree aside, I am just another gal interested in nerdy scientific stuff. Brought up on a diet of Star Trek, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Mythbusters, it's only natural that my nerdy inclinations would eventually need an outlet.
The name of the blog is a mash-up of "photon" and "fact." (Because, as any good trademark attorney will tell you, the best kinds of trademarks are those devised from made up words.) I also like the idea of a one-word title. It'll look better on t-shirts. You know, if/when I become wildly successful and have Simon and Schuster calling me screaming, "OMG, you are the hottest thing since gamma ray bursts! We want to publish you NOW!"
But, I digress. And daydream. Ooh, look! A butterfly! <Puts down laptop, chases silently after newly found lepidopteran friend.>
