James Keliher Consulting Services is Born
The job market is so bizarre these days, and it feels like there's a constant need to adapt to stay marketable to employers. Technology and science have always been evolving, but it's what people want to pay me to do that seems to keep changing. That said, it's time for a change. I'm no longer going to be beholden to a single employer, I'm going solo and launching my own consultancy to be scientist for hire - and with that, James Keliher ...
Crypto, Blockchain, Bitcoin and more…
Crypto, Blockchain, Bitcoin, it's all Greek to James Keliher. It's funny, that because I'm a scientist and deemed smart, I understand Bitcoin.
James Keliher at U2 in San Diego
https://vimeo.com/243931038 I went to see U2 in San Diego, and as expected it was utterly fantastic. There are few things better, in the entire world of things, than the first couple minutes of "Where The Streets Have No Name" and my Irish brethren didn't disappoint here. If I could relive this moment once a month, I'd be happy, but this video will have to suffice. Had a great time down in San Diego with friends. We figured if we were ...
James Keliher Science For The Win
So yesterday I, James Keliher, actually had to go out and march in support of science. Essential, yet so incredibly absurd that it was even necessary - but that's what happens when America elects its most ignorant and self-serving President in its history. With all the rumored proposed cuts in science funding in the upcoming budget, not to mention all the denial of scientific fact - from the non-dangers of vaccines, to the real dangers of ...

The Science of Bikinis by James Keliher
I think many of us can agree that the bikini is one of history's greatest inventions - right up there with those dedicated urinals in porta potties, the color coquelicot and of course the advent or sarcasm. Anyway, seventy years ago, Louis Rénard created the bathing sensation that ultimately the Vatican would declare as sinful. They can declare it whatever they want, but I declare it AWESOME! It spent my summer around a shitload of bikinis ...

Knew About The Cats – Part 3
I was sitting with my friend Jessica as I watched Leah tell her tale. Jess and I met the second week of school when she approached me and asked what I was always writing during class. I told her about my journal thing, and everything just blossomed from there. To use a popular junior high term, I’d have to say that Jess and I were best friends, which was unusual because I’d never had a female best friend before. Her gender didn’t seem to ...
Knew About The Cats – Part 2
I met her at a party, Leah that is, not my therapist. Through my research at school, I learned that eighty per cent of all college relationships begin within twenty feet of a keg. Thus, our meeting was not a particularly novel experience. What did strike me as odd on that first night back in December of 1986, was that she was talking about her mother’s cats. In itself that wasn’t quite what I would call divergent thinking, yet on the Saturday night before exam week of our freshman year when people were traditionally talking about finals, Caribbean vacations, and Christmas wish lists, such feline subjects seemed slightly off base. Maybe that’s why I first fell for her—she would talk about anything, anywhere, no matter how out of place or time. I envied that immensely.
Knew About The Cats – Part 1
I knew about the cats from the beginning. In fact when I first was introduced to her she was talking about those damn cats. Although I wasn’t into pets myself, I had little problem with other people devoting so much of their time and money to other, non-human, living beings.
