My nephew called me on the phone and asked me to send him email about how I feel about global warming because that was his homework assignment (it had to be email).  So I emailed him a sift on global warming and told him that's how I felt about global warming.

He loved it.  He loves me.  His teacher loved it.

In further news, I have submitted a more personal than most sift: It was put on youtube by a grad student at my school, and it's of my school mascot being carved into a pumpkin.  It seems awfully self-referential, but I had nothing to do with posting it to youtube or making the video.  (Although it was one of my grad students who got us the cyber-mascot in the first place, a long time ago.)  I realize the video probably isn't quite as cool as I think it is, but it could be a fair bit less cool than I think it is and still be pretty cool.
