another geophys blog for your reading pleasure
Just stumbled upon Louise Kellogg's blog. Louise (webpage) is the Chair of the Geology Dept. at UC Davis and was one of my undergraduate advisors. Her flavor of geophysics is the deep-earth/mantle convection stuff and she writes papers with titles...Posted on October 31, 2006 5:11 PM • 0 Comments
NoSeNada is about to turn turned 1000
Ah, anniversaries. Celebrations. I'm not above them. (Did I mention I have a birthday coming up?) Anyway, out of the many milestone metrics I could pick to celebrate the blogging here, I'm choosing comments. One of you lucky saps is...

blog tracking in the geosci world
If I didn't have a day job I could scan hundreds of blogs every day like Coturnix apparently does but it's about all I can do to read my own. (Read that as positive wonderment that C has the energy...Posted on October 5, 2006 10:14 PM • 10 Comments
Share and share alike
I find myself digging into my page view stats, not to see how many reads I'm getting but to see where y'all are coming in from. It's pretty fascinating and addicting, especially when you've come in from a google or...Posted on October 5, 2006 6:15 PM • 8 Comments
the Nerd-off -- oh no I ain't
As I just finished submitting my abstract for AGU Fall '06, I don't feel bad posting this. Janet started a nerd-off and Tim has posted all the scores so far. I refer to this test, in which I scored 45,...Posted on September 7, 2006 5:36 PM • 1 Comments
Sierras away Q#5: spammer psychology
Both on this blog and on Prometheus, we get hundreds of spam comments for every one legit comment. Have you noticed that the spam comments never appear? Yet they are still being sent, for seemingly no reason other than to...Posted on September 1, 2006 12:00 PM • 3 Comments
Motl off his rocker
I missed this while I was on vacation. I posted this little innocuous piece about a rare storm over the Czech Republic. I gave a photo of the storm and this very short paragraph: This crazy pic comes via EUMETSAT...Posted on August 7, 2006 12:36 PM • 12 Comments

All - SB has been having major comment issues. I finally decided to bite the bullet and wade through the overstuffed junk comment box for NSN and whaddaya know, I found 5-10 legit comments buried in there. What does this...Posted on June 22, 2006 5:26 PM • 2 Comments
the new frontpage?
We'll see if this scheduling posts in advance thing works.... I'm without my computer from Thursday night on, so I'm missing the new home page launch and mass blogger addition, which should be live already by the time you're reading...Posted on June 9, 2006 2:00 PM • 0 Comments
What would Jesus do ... about spamming?
Apparently he'd join in, if you take the actions of some of his acolytes as indication. This spam comment just made it through the filters on an old post. The comment, which I'm leaving up for comedic purposes for a...Posted on May 8, 2006 12:18 PM • 5 Comments

On being really unclear on the concept
Or maybe too clear? Anyway, on Monday Interplanet Janet (alt. link) linked to a hilarious comments run on Unqual Offs. Just read the post and first few comments (which now number 550 at press time) and you get the point....Posted on April 12, 2006 1:00 PM • 1 Comments
Giving some traffic ups to the Cherry
This usually isn't my shtick, but I figure there's a market niche out there waiting for some readers. So without further ado, if you're interested in the bloggamusings of a recent Lamont-Doherty graduate climate scientist struggling with the transition from half a decade of life in NYC to the snowy coldassedness of a postdoc in Fairbanks, Alaska, click here and godspeed. (It's seriously good so far...)Posted on March 30, 2006 2:02 PM • 0 Comments
