Lately I’ve been thinking that I should visit the Burgess Shale before I move across the country to attend university in the fall. I’ve passed it by many times, but never actually made the trip up to the Walcott Quarry. I’m thinking I should go some time this summer, and I’ll have to see who [...]

As I don’t have time to write a real post tonight, I’d like to announce that the next Walcott’s Quarry comic will be posted tomorrow. I’ve stated before that it will be posted on a weekly basis, but I haven’t actually decided whether it will be Saturday or some day during the week. But regardless, [...]

… Was Gertie. Animated in 1914 by Winsor McCay, the great early American Animator. Gertie, if you pay attention, demolishes a rock, and then, amazingly, an entire tree, making the man-eating T-Rex of Jurassic Park look completely weak. And if that wasn’t vicious enough, Gertie proceeds to toss a live elephant into a nearby lake, [...]

I usually refrain from political commentary on this blog, and I realize that the science issues in this post have nothing to do with the theme of the blog, paleontology. But for me, this story cuts to the heart of why there is so much scientific ignorance in the west. We have become so accustomed [...]

It’s Earth Day today, a fact which most of you probably already know. But I thought I should take a moment and let you know what the day means to me. To me, the earth is just a rock. I’m not trying to demean our fair planet, because the truth is, it’s perfect for us. [...]

“All knowledge that is not the real product of observation, or of consequences deduced from observation, is entirely groundless and illusory.” ~Jean-Baptiste Lamarck I wrote a post on my old site that dealt with the scientific relevance of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. One belief that he held that I mentioned was spontaneous generation. I decided that this [...]

You may notice some changes at eTrilobite.com in the near future, as I bring some new features online that I’ve been working on. Mainly, I’m redesigning the frontpage, which is lame, in case you haven’t noticed. I’ll also be updating the Blogroll and links page. A forum is also possible in the future, once the [...]

So the first strip of Walcott’s Quarry is online, already, but I realized that I hadn’t set myself a shedule for it, at least not publicly. Walcott’s Quarry will be a weekly feature here at the eTrilobite blog. I’ve already built up an impressive stash of ideas for strips, so stay tuned in the weeks [...]

Being an artist, it was only a matter of time until I started some sort of comic strip, so just be glad it’s taken me so long! The comic follows the exploits of Walcott, a curious trilobite living in the Burgess Shale, some 500 million odd years ago. I could go on for a while [...]
