How Do I Make the Particles Accelerate?

At Fermilab, one of about seventy high energy particle accelerators on the planet, scientists offer day-by-day, hour-by-hour reports of experimental progress and setbacks. Science in action looks tedious. This reads like a particle physics blog.
thatweirdguy2: Funny, indeed! (I was about to post the same quote.)

What's Fermilab doing on the World-Wide Web? Next I'll expect CERN to join in...
An obscure WWW joke. Kids, ask your Grandpappy...

At 3:52 PM, the Pbar stack was lost. Experts found that an Accumulator quadrupole power supply took a current jump due to a bad transistor.
OK, now you're just making shit up...

I live about 10 miles from Fermi. They also have a film series, lectures, and buffalo.

Live collisions from CDF and D0
"Note: When no collisions are occurring, CDF and D0 will show events from their "Greatest Hits" collection."
Heh. (If just for my inability to offer any intelligent commentary on the subject.)

Yay! Finally, a FPP about my livelihood. If you want real "particle physics blog" action, you can read the CDF and D0 and MCR (i.e. Tevatron, etc.) e-logs.

Call me when they find a quonsar.*
