Argh. I've been busy setting up my new blog; and missed seeing the harvest request. So my new blog (Duo Quartuncia) missed out on the harvest. But it's not too late! I'm still accepting requests for permission to link to my blog.
Posted by: Akusai | May 3, 2007 8:33 AM
Thanks much for the add. I will graciously attribute any future traffic spikes to Dr. Myers.

Blogger doesn't give me relevant fields to fill out, so I think I'm stuck with the null for a while.
Posted by: Chris Ho-Stuart | May 3, 2007 9:31 AM
Yes; it looks like all the new entires with "(null)" as the description are from blogger. I have the same problem. I'm trying to find out how it can be fixed, and I've joined the blogger discussion group for just this purpose. I'll let you know if I figure out the solution.
I'm also writing a new blog entry on the evolution of wings as a celebration of being included in PZ's blogroll. Busy, busy, busy.

Okay, that's just weird, seeing myself up there like that. Now I have to post something interesting so people will care. Argh!
Posted by: Scholar | May 3, 2007 9:56 AM
That's great, except you speled the poor guy's name wrong.
Posted by: Kristine | May 3, 2007 10:06 AM
Congratulations, Torbjörn!

What? It was there a moment ago. Well, sorry, I have a karate lesson. Gotta run. :-)
Posted by: Kristjan Wager | May 3, 2007 10:27 AM
Congratulations Torbjörn. It felt unnatural to vote for a Swede, but you richly deserved it.
Posted by: forsen | May 3, 2007 10:52 AM
Grattis Torbjörn =) Det ska vara en svensk i år.
Posted by: James W. | May 3, 2007 12:11 PM
Oh great, now even your blog is getting stupid HD-DVD key spam.
I hate Digg for making this such a "big" deal.
Posted by: reason | May 3, 2007 12:18 PM
Wouldn't be great if Torbjörn was bald (or was clean shaven on top) after the first eulogy!
Posted by: James F. Trumm | May 3, 2007 12:34 PM
Thanks for the link!
Posted by: Torbjörn Larsson, OM | May 3, 2007 1:10 PM
I like that, too. ;-) Thanks all!
Not to worry, as I already had occasion to describe on another thread, my Special Superpower happens to be "Sexy Hair". (Due to the often and accidentally occurring after-frak look, not due to the trim).
Posted by: Jay Lake | May 3, 2007 1:15 PM
Thank you, sir.

Congrats Tor!
The OM at the end always makes me think of yoga.
Posted by: The Flying Trilobite | May 3, 2007 1:30 PM
Yes! Thanks for including my site, Prof. Myers!
Ooo, I hope my site is put into "Artsies"!
Posted by: Martin R | May 3, 2007 1:48 PM
Go Torbjorn! I'm proud to say that not only is he a compatriot of mine, he is also a sometime commenter on my blog.
Posted by: Greg | May 3, 2007 2:38 PM
PZ, thanks for the plug. I need it! More traffic should inspire me to post more.
Cheers!

Captain Myers:Arr.. what makes ye think to be worthy of being on the blogroll of The Pharyngula?
Poor Gullible Recruit: I just want to be on the internets all my life.
Captain Myers: Welcome Aboard!

archgoon: We shall rule thee with compassion and wisdom. We do have a few requirements: you will have to watch one Ingmar Bergman movie a week, and commemorate Linnaeus' birthday by drinking snaps. There will be plenty of ombudsmen to direct any complaints to, though.

Thanks for the link.
My feeds have been consolidated on feedburner, so the "null" can be fixed by replacing the xml link with this feed.
Posted by: AxisofJared | May 3, 2007 5:11 PM
What a list! The 7th one down looks mighty interesting!
Posted by: Dustin | May 3, 2007 6:10 PM
Torbjörn Larsson! I didn't vote for him, but that's only because I already knew he was going to win.
Posted by: Infophile | May 3, 2007 9:11 PM
The alphabet hates me... *sniff*
Though maybe being out of place will land me a few extra curiosity hits from people trying to figure out why I'm down there.
Posted by: Torbjörn Larsson, OM | May 3, 2007 9:43 PM
Almost too close to be funny, it felt like cold water poured down my back. Ask Martin R about "Jante-lagen" and why our parents generation didn't invent ABBA or Björn Borg.
(Hmm, perhaps a decade over one generation, though. No matter, the New Swedes can lie with a straight face, too. ;-)
:-) But which ombudsmen can we direct complaints about ombudsmen to?
See, the system appears flawed. [Next Moore/Gibbons comic: "Ombudsmen".]
Posted by: windy | May 3, 2007 10:02 PM
The OM after your name means Ombuds-Man, right?
Posted by: Torbjörn Larsson, OM | May 3, 2007 10:29 PM
windy:
Well, I already have a funny Special Superpower, so I could follow Moore's lead and assemble a team. For example, I could join up with RavenT's husband, who can get dogs to pee when he points them out.
We would be great Ombuds-Men, because people would be too distracted to follow through on their complaints.
But I need more voluntaries. So, what is your Special Ombudsman Superpower, or SOS specialty as we OM's call it?
(This message is set to self-destruct in 5 s after you read it through, because while PZ probably can stand a joke or two, I'm not sure what he will think about our treatment of his award. Please stand back, and don't inhale the smoke.)

Joykill.

Torbjörn: MY parent's generation invented ABBA & Borg. =) Technically, they could be my grandparents.
My associations concerning the hive-mindedness actually went to science fiction, not Jantelagen. Being a headstrong individualist of the mid-80's, I guess we flipped off Jantelagen with our middle finger and rode off into the sunset from the very beginning.
Concerning the ombudsmen, I guess at some point in the system, people have to stop behave like whiny bastards. I guess that point will have to be the complaints concerning the ombudsmen themselves. =)
But be ye assured, your Swedish overlords - hive-minded or not - will solve all technical/logistical issues over time. Just buy IKEA furniture and Absolut Vodka, and you will be able to handle the transition just fine.

If only it were just peeing...
That figures. The one thing I'm ever going to be internationally famous for.--Mr. Raven, 2007
Posted by: Torbjörn Larsson, OM | May 4, 2007 12:03 AM
What can I say - I'm from the outback. We had no IKEA furniture, and the only absolute with the vodka was that it was absolutely not from a store. I didn't have to ride into the sunset, I lived in it.
Well, no, it wasn't quite as bad, but I did see what Jantelagen had done with the previous generations. I think we are pretty much talking about the same generation, I have seen people reckon 30 years/gen so that is what I used.
Posted by: Kseniya | May 4, 2007 12:49 AM
"The Flying Trilobite" - I love that handle!
Props to Tor for having been björn. :-)
Posted by: Kristjan Wager | May 4, 2007 6:14 AM
I don't get this references to bears all the time. Torbjörn, are you a shapechanger?Oh, and regarding jantelagen - we all know that it's Danish. Don't think you are something, just because you've stolen the concept from us (ok, it was defined by a Norwegian, but he was writing about a Danish town, where he grew up).
Posted by: forsen | May 4, 2007 6:04 PM
Torbjörn: the last part was amied at our non-Swedish subjects. You are ofc one of the Overlords. =)
Posted by: Joshua | May 5, 2007 2:37 AM
Three cheers and a pint o' Guinness for Torbjörn! Huzzah!
Posted by: Robert S, | May 5, 2007 10:29 AM
Thanks for the add, Prof!
Posted by: The Flying Trilobite | May 6, 2007 9:23 PM
Thanks for the shout out, Kseniya! You can check out my blog for my paintings of mythical flying trilobites, too.
As for being on the blogroll, it's fantastic to be in such good company. A lot of nice sites are gathered in this list!
