Continuing bids by B for media stardom

From today's Telegraph

I had a few things to say about using taxpayers' money to go to London and design aliens - which B is currently treating as the highpoint of his career to date - but of course he's right that inspiring children to have an interest in science is a very good way to spend taxpayers' money. I guess I just obscurely feel that worthy things shouldn't be so much fun.

Nope, things that are not fun are not worthy. Finding something you enjoy that challenges your mind should be the pinnacle of a persons existance.

That's my opinion anyhow.

He should be able to get a space at Eastercon, doing that sort of thing :-)

I read that piece before I saw your post, and completely failed to register "B". Oops. Anyway, good on him for helping us all to a bit of fun.

I may have said this before: B has a very cool job.

Brilliant post.
