Weird and Wonderful World of Chi
A very generalized blog covering a huge range of issues from quantum mechanics, to a baby's birth. Most entries are from the point of view of a USA citizen living permanently in Costa Rica. Entries include news updates, commentary, book reviews, new ideas in ecology, special people and their projects, and photographs. Public commentary is an important part of the blog.
