How do we account for the current paranormal vogue in the popular media? Perhaps it has something to do with the millennium - in which case it's depressing to realise that the millennium is still three years away.

Since some people were envious that I singled out one blog earlier today, here's your opportunity: leave your url in the comments here, say a little bit about why your blog is worthy of my attention, and I'll toss it onto the blogroll. Attention for everyone!

Caveats: for technical reasons, your blog must have an rss feed/syndication. I reserve the right to ignore your blog if I don't like it. Even if you get on my blogroll, I do turn it over regularly, so there's no guarantee I'll keep it there for long.

My blog is boring though. I neglect it too often. But I do have a commentary on the recent shenanigans.

Thanks PZ!

I run a blog called the The Prius Owners Group and five days a week (or more) I post news relevant to fuel efficient and environmental conscious transportation centered around, yes, the Toyota Prius. I've owned one for more than three years.

Please visit and feel free to leave your own comments on anything there. I would especially love to see those with a hard science background there to help debunk news items and, I shudder to say this, my own mistaken commentaries.

Hello there. I write a blog called The Dendritic Arbor, about biology, neuroscience, and other academiology such as an MIT sophomore would find notable. Nothing up to the level of researchblogging.org, I'm afraid -- mostly interesting more-or-less-sciency things I notice.

I mostly blog about the amateur astronomy events I go to, but I also commented on the bad movie by Bennie S, well, other stuff. Since several other posts indicate they seldom post, I don't feel so bad about updating mine once a week, give or take.

I generally keep my blog linked to my name in my comments to peoples blogs. People can find more about the guy, me, making the stupid (er, or otherwise) comment that way. I've followed the links of several commentators here - and sometimes added them to my blog list.

Sorry, no octopuses or squids. Yet.

Oh and of course if it's not obvious to click on my moniker for the URL, here it is spelled out, but of course you lose 10 points for lacking initiative, and so you win our special consolation prize of "The Best Of The Entire Conservapedia Web Site" in a boxed 1 CD set.

Why only 1 CD? To be honest, even that one CD is blank, but at it does have their URL printed on it, so it should at least provide hours of giving you a good laugh.

Why is it boxed? Well, it *is* illegal to punch a creationist twat in the nose, but there's no law against hitting cardboard... I've checked.

Outside the Asylum

This is my little corner of the cyberworld where I note and comment on things in the news that continue to verify Wonko the Sane's decision to build the Asylum was quite sound. I'm hopeful if I can demonstrate that I, too, am sane, Wonko will let me out someday... :)

It's pretty close to brand new, but I'm trying to keep up regularly - as close to daily as school and work will allow. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it...), there's no lack of material, and it doesn't take a ton of energy to find stories of inanity.

Hi PZ, Thanks!

I'm at http://acandidworld.wordpress.com.

The name is Submitted to a Candid World; we cover politics, law, religion, science, and the nexus thereof. We've been on Tangled Bank more than once for random science-related stuff, and on your blog itself for Conservapedia stuff (I have a sick fascination with that place). If you want a casual look at the way the law works with any of those topics, we might be a good place to start; also in PalMD of Denialism's words, we're "progressive politics, but not a rant."

Thanks!

IamSoWise, I enjoyed the article about the venti coffee. I don't know anything about Baltimore, so most of it's over my head.

My blog may not be a good fit here, but have a look.I write mostly about politics. I've been a bit quiet lately, since the FISA debacle has left me a bit grouchy. I sometimes write about science fiction and how it teaches us things, even how to be a stylish time traveler.

That's probably enough links to get this comment sequestered in the lowest level of the spam filters, but I also write about science on occasion, so I'll try one more.

One blog you may find interesting is Rodibidably:

http://potomac9499.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/what-the-bleep-do-we-know/

If you do actually take the time to check out Rodibidably, I'd really suggest starting off with:

Posted by: Ben | July 18, 2008 12:11 AM

My blog is essentially a tumblog-you're smart, look it up. The content spans from the purely entertaining (Ernst Cline standup)to the politically charged (the recent FISA compromise) to the scientifically focused (how traffic backups occur) to the scientifically entertaining (the psychological science behind a shot to the groin). Ultimately I try to keep things simple and clear and post information that is both fascinating and relevant to the lives of most people-even if they don't understand how knowing the exact age of the universe constitutes both of said criteria.

Stop by and enjoy.

like wazza (#6), glad you asked is just a space where i can bloviate, usually about politics and the media, but generally about anything that motivates me to post something. i'm just surprised i'm still at it after 2.5 years.

today's post coins two new words, both inspired by wafergate, and the last science-related post "silly scientists" was inspired by the discovery among some old cassettes i have of a snippet of a "voice of prophecy" christian radio broadcast, which i converted to mp3 and posted.

It is a responsive blog to specifically Ray Comfort, and more generally The Way of the Master (and other such inanity). It responds directly to his posts and plus anything amusing found elsewhere, such as his Atheist Test tract which uses Coke cans to disprove evolution. In a parody fashion, I disproved sexual reproduction using Pepsi cans in my Theist Test post.

Hi, I'm an atheist from the Philippines with a personal blog called missingpoints. I write about various things that interest me (as blogs often do), mostly about pop culture and local politics. A lot of my rants focus on the difficulty of maintaining a secular point of view in the only Catholic nation in Asia (which also happens to harbor Islamic fundamentalist terror cells).

Right now the Church is opposing a "reproductive health" bill that aims to distribute free contraceptives to poor families by threatening to withhold communion from Catholic congressmen who vote for it. Frackin' crackers are a big issue here. :)

Hi PZ!

My blog is NaturalVisions and - at least these days - is about my adventures living and working in SW Utah (an awfully lonely place for an atheist). Birds and photography are my main passions, and every Friday features a bird i.d. quiz for those with an interest in our feathered friends (NA species only - this week will be #108, so those new to the site will have some catching up to do . . .). Occasionally I write about the geology and paleontology in the area, too, and, as of late, have been posting some short wildlife video clips in addition to photos.

I just walk a lot and take pictures wherever I go, but I do have a background in evolutionary biology and a fondness for pirate squids, so I'm posting this anyway because you asked and before the thread gets too long.

Okay, apparently I already have an RSS feed that came with my blog. I added a link to the page with it on my blog; I have no idea if theres something else I'm supposed to do with it. Anyway, I'm at http://ferretcage.blogspot.com. I should be put on your blogroll because:
1) I have polls that you can crash.
2) I'm going through the Bible, and later through other holy texts, and making fun of it/proving it wrong. But mostly making fun of it, because a lot of it isn't really stuff that can be proved wrong, as far as I've gotten.
3) I have no idea if you will appreciate it, but I have posts relating directly to my nerdiness, like anime and DnD. Also cooking.
4) I have the perspective of a 15 year old and the grammar and vocabulary of an adult. Hopefully interesting.

1. The blog is a sane, sober and sometimes humorous look at the world of religion.

2. On it, I often link to and occasionally criticize you. Your sworn enemies make for good fodder too.

3. You're on The God Blog's blogroll.

4. There is no god blog but The God Blog.

I recently started a blog (In part inspired by Dana over at En Tequila Es Verdad, in part something I have had floating around the drift line I call my brain)
Its focus is mainly on pointing out barstardry in all its forms and where ever it pokes it head up. Recently the Catholics feature on a global scale, partly because I live in Australia and we currently have that Clerical dating game called "World Youth Day" on at the moment and partly because of "Crackergate"
Next week I might pick on the Banks or the Fuel companies so the subject matter varies, depending on what grabs my fancy (and I have received compliments on the condition of my fancy)
the URL is http://www.soyouthinkimabarstard.com (my first act of barstardry was to use the less common spelling for Barstard in the URL)
Have a read and tell me what you think of my idea for you to do to the sacred cracker.

Humbuggery is about religion, mostly. Kind of a deconstructionistic stance on the matter, trying to cut out the crap and see what comes out when you boil down religion via logic. (Spoiler: So far, not much.)
I talk a bit about general skepticism and magic tricks too.

The Lowly Mathematician is my other blog, about Math, Computer Science, and the occasional bit of woo better suited to such an audience. Lots of fun things with basic teaching math and computer science.

The BBC's flagship news programme, "Today", is broadcast every weekday morning on BBC Radio 4. This is interrupted at 7.45 by a preacher, who is given a couple of minutes airtime to tell us all how much better we would be if only we believed in their god. They mostly don't say anything at all. When they do manage to say something interesting or original, it's usually so outstandingly awful that it generates mass letter writing in protest.

The god slot is called "Thought For The Day". My piss take is called "Platitude Of The Day".

Located in Thailand, JING-REED'S REFLECTIONS [ http://jingreed.typepad.com ], is a blog with frequent religion bashing from an aging ex-pat's perspective .

Information gathered daily by a retired professor of world literature with an abiding interest in just about everything scientific, and a 75-year-old's adamant 'question everything' attitude.

Primarily in English, but as a contented polyglot it also has bits and pieces in Slovak, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Thai, etc. -- also a bit heavy in the music and art departments.

If the pun isn't enough for you, then I can tell you that visiting my relatively young blog will yield a world of rational wonder beyond your wildest dreams. It's a lie, but I can still tell you that.

Japes and hijinks aside, my blog is intended to provide a sceptical viewpoint on all manner of subjects, from mythology to ecology, from politics to artificial intelligence; I am also prone to taking the long view and analysing the very natures of scepticism and atheism, and the value inherent in them.

But come on - the puns!

Posted by: Amber Culbertson-Faegre | July 18, 2008 5:42 AM

I actually have four different blogs I would consider myself "part of".

My baby is a collaborative effort between five friends (including #118) called Teh Juggernauts. A blog created to document our affinity for logical thought. Everything from comments on big news items to blogalogues to photos of our local protests and
actions. Usually our adventures involve religion, although human rights, poverty, politics, sexual health, and voter registration tend to pop up on our radar pretty often. =D

Another collaborative effort, involving many of the same kids from Teh Juggernauts, is Beautiful Flower and Penis. Although a bloopers clip has been linked here before, most of the episodes are a bit more on-topic, dealing with the sexual issues that remain undiscussed in polite company.

Another blog, which I mainly keep up by myself, is The Ribbon Project. This is my own way of marking the deaths of the Iraq war. For each United States soldier who dies fighting in Iraq, I write their name on a yellow and black ribbon, and tie it around a tree on my campus. This blog contains the photos of each of these ribbons. It is by far the hardest project I have ever worked on. It is emotionally draining.

My personal blog... i, nisemono... is a mixture of the political, social, and personal rants. Pictures from my life adventures, commentary on my travels and exploits, etc. Pretty boring to the outsider, but it keeps me sane.

Notes in Samsara, http://mumonno.blogspot.com, is a Zen Buddhist blog that is quite rational. In fact, I often get into disputes with some of my co-religionists over political and religious issues.

I also consider, from time to time, creationists, odd cults (especially the strange Buddhist variants such as Falun Gong), and the economic disasters we currently face.

My background is that I'm a Ph.D. EE with specialization in communication theory, probability theory, statistics and yes, information theory.

So my outlook tends to be empirical, nontheist, phenomenological existentialist tempered by the fact that skill is needed in this life and we have to find a way to realize community.

I'd be honored if you checked out Cranial Hyperossification. It's a hodge-podge with a theme of poking fun at woo and supporting civil rights (specifically GLBTQ(etc.)) and education.

Mine's on Wordpress and is called called quarkscrew, just because I thought it was a cool neologism. Sadly it wasn't as neo a logism as I thought, so quarkscrew.com already belongs to someone else.

The main foci are atheism vs. religion, current events (mostly US), science and frogs. I have a Friday Frog feature which was directly inspired by the Friday Cephalopod here on Pharyngula. It is also reachable as drfrog.net (Dr Frog being my differently-ethical twin).

Today's Friday Frog is my 200th post. If anyone stops by it'd be very encouraging to see a comment, even if it only says "Ho." I've been yelling into the Void and it's been a while since the Void yelled back.

It tends to have a National Parks and heritage preservation theme running through it with an occasional detour into public health, technical writing, and the joys and frustrations of working for a large ineffecient government agency -- not the National Park Service, unfortunately, it's a much bigger one that's more science-oriented but also tends to shoot itself in the foot a lot.

I also blog about cemeteries and death and dying at I See Dead People (www.namesweretaken.blogspot.com) but that one is so occasional it doesn't have a feed.

I'm the web gnome for a collaborative blog of Philadelphia-area non-religious types. It's called Suburban Panic!, and we'd love to see any or all of you in the comments. Here's a short preview for your sinning eyes.

We sometimes think of doomsday cults as a modern phenomenon, but they're really just notes in the margins of an age-old script. A time of political or social turmoil, a charismatic leader, a vision of impending awfulness, and a bunch of disaffected followers so caught up in the ruckus that they do things the rest of us think of as unfathomably crazy. The biggest difference these days is that they've replaced slaughtering Jews with holing up in compounds, oiling their vast collections of firearms, and having sex with underage girls.

I spend a lot of time on energy. Its a field ripe with nonsense, over unity machines, horrible energy policy, etc. But it also has some worthwhile stuff.

Once in a while I will discuss my atheism. My biggest hits so far have been my posts on atheist charities (thank you PZ) and my bingo game (Thank you Skeptico). Right now I only have an evolution game for it, but I am working on CAM, Global Warming, and paranormals (astrology, water dowsing etc).

More of 2 will be added soon/eventually.

The stated goal is "to promote rational thought, critical thinking and the scientific method." We try to post as close to everyday as we can, but we're still learning to make a habit out of it.

I'm a little late on this but my blog is about christian antics mostly, I tend to write on some of their more interesting headlines.
Also philosophy and a little bit of science are thrown in. I try to be funny, but who knows if that works or not.

I blog on peer-reviewed research relating to the topics of ecology, evolution and cell biology. My favourite protein is green fluorescent protein, and I've written up a short post on it here. I intend to write more about GFP and its derivatives in the future as well. I also blog about IDiots.

I am a graduate student in biophysics- I mostly talk about that, with occasional comments on research papers outside my field, general rants on gender issues, and observations on the odd habits we scientists exhibit.

Randomly updated, but likely the only place in the world you can find LOL MacroMolecules...

Hon, you oughta list me on here so that all them poor souls who come here and believe in things like "proof" and "evidence" and "facts" have an alternative viewpoint.

I pray every day for those who choose not to believe in a God of love, for He will surely send them to an eternity of unimaginable pain and suffering.

I'm nominating You Are Dumb dot net (http://www.youaredumb.net/), which will surely annoy its writer (Bryan Lambert) because he insists that it is not a blog but rather a column. He does have a feed, however. Of Pharyngula he recently said:

If you're not familiar with PZ Myers, of the blog Pharyngula, he's actually a lot like me, only where I have dick jokes, he has credentials. He actually teaches biology at the University of Minnesota, hates creationists, likes the word "fuckwits", and has a sizable audience. Not that I don't love you all dearly, my snowflake babies, but I link to his blog at my own peril. He's that good. All I can say to keep you coming back is that PZ Myers will never, ever, ever make fun of the guy in line ahead of him at Target, and I will. Tomorrow.

Of Donohue, he then said (among plenty other things):

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Donohue is actually arguing that when you put a link to Site B on Site A, the contents of Site B become part and parcel of the contents of Site A. By that reasoning, You Are Dumb has just absorbed Pharyngula, which will come as a great shock to my Web hosting service.

I run Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes. I'm a PhD in English, and cover skepticism, atheism, liberal political commentary and poop jokes. Religious fundamentalism is my beat, by which I mean target. Currently, I am offering an as-of-yet unclaimed prize to anyone who can get a joke paper published in the Answers Research Journal, a novelty journal published by the freaks at Answers in Genesis. You win the prize if you reveal the joke on my site, which is the only thing keeping those authors already published in ARJ from claiming it.

My relatively new skeptical blog from a young female perspective can be found at http://skeptigirl.blogspot.com/

My most recent posts were about John Hogue, vaccinations, Crackergate, and 2012.

Sometimes I talk about things in the news, sometimes I'll write an article just for the heck of it or when something pseudosciency pisses me off on TV.

My blog only just started out. Its mostly a personal writing archive at the moment. There are book reviews and the like on there (you'd probably only care for the Animal Farm one). Two posts you'll probably dig are "The Parable of the Bus" and "I am an Atheist." You might also bee interested in "Love and Loathing on YouTube" which is a philosophical rundown of a debate I've had with a couple of Christians who loved me so much they called me a fat faggot. Have fun.

Okay, I think I might regret this but this is my blog:

http://www.imaginedrae.blogspot.com/

My blog is mostly rants on pseudoscience, collections of science articles I find interesting, and sometimes personal crap that no one really cares about. I update it a couple times a week, more or less, even though no one really reads it.

Now, I'm not even a scientist (yet!) and I just finished high school, so view at your own risk.

Damn it, I'm already so far down in the list that no one is going to read this, least of all P.Z... Anyhow, Bad Thinking is "A daily look at the stupid and evil things that people do because people are evil and stupid. No siding with anyone's pet tribe here. And absolutely no insight or analysis of any kind offered. At all." - as it says in the sidebar. And the thing really is updated daily, with about 20 posts or so. Today I've mostly been ranting about Muslims, actually, but I also regularly attack Catholics, other religionists, ufologists, pseudoscientists, paranormalists, woo-woo peddlers, and pretty much everyone and everything else. I don't have many friends.

I'm a Ph.D student in behavioural ecology, and aside from a series of posts on classic papers I'm trying to do, I pay attention to science topics and Canadian issues. (You actually linked to me a while back for the Expelled opening in Canada - traffic that day was two orders of magnitude higher than anything I'd had previously!)

2. I've been trolled by FtK.
3. As of today, your links are only responsible for my second highest-traffic day.

Let's see... I don't blog about science, or religion or anything much except, poetry, pictures and stories. There are however many exceptions one being the satire which will be part of the upcoming Carnival of Elitist Bastards hosted here on PZ's blog next weekend. In addition, not everything is so cut and dried since I'm a multiple personality. That counts as science believe me. Besides which we actually have six blogs in all - including one where politics is the main action - have one published novel, one novel in the works and and one finished memoir. If you're an literary agent Rose would like to talk to you. (She's one of my others and she has her own blog.)

I don't actually expect to make your blogroll, but a little visibility would be nice. People tell me my blog is good, but obviously I'm doing something wrong because no one ever responds.

Here is my page. It is generally my hyper-sensitive reactions to perceived threats. Sure, I might overreact from time to time, no, more often than not. But it is because my fear of being exposed for what I truly am that is of concern to me. I try to feign sincerity and must address every single irrationally perceived injustice against me as people are constantly trying to alert the world to how I really am. Feel free to stop by. Thanks.

Late to join in here, but that's OK; I see I'm still on the PZM blogroll from an earlier opportunity. (http://www.defaithed.com)

Inclusion in the blogroll is an honor that must be lived up to. I vow, with right hand on the Atheist Bible, to continue documenting my makeover from religion to reason, while poking fun at faith, woo, and other non-rational lunacies.

(Speaking of vows, I hope I live to see the day when a new US President rejects the Bible for his/her swearing-in, and demands to take the oath on a copy of the US Constitution. It's so bizarre that this *isn't* already the way Presidents are sworn in.)

I'm a little late too, but I run a site you've linked to at least once called What's The Harm? We try to document cases where people have gotten hurt believing in nonsense.

http://LiberalsMustDie.com is a blog that shows the real evil of Democrats (I call them Demon-crats), liberals, hethens, morans, atheists, and muslums.

We use science and physics to prove that God is real (and is giving George W. Bush instructions to bring about the rapture) in 2 of our latest articles: How Ironic! Scientsts on the verge of proving God exists!! and Physicists Closer To Proving God Exists (and hates Democrats).

Basically LMD is a 1 stop shop for all the news you need, unless you are a hethen.

Our sister website: http://OsamaLovesObama.com keeps our users up to date on the presidential race.

Oh, and no liberals allowed on our sites.

On Monday June 9th, 1980, at a few minutes before 1 a.m. (GMT) and a month shy of my sixteenth birthday, I finished the very first page in my new daily journal with the portentously pompous pronouncement that: "Today was the first day of the rest of my life."

I was to write virtually every day for another two thousand, eight hundred and forty three (cramped) pages and the next four-and-a-half (cramped) years, through Thatcher's dismantling of Britain's post-war consensus, Michael Foot's donkey jacket, Pigbag, would-be girlfriends, and myriad blunderings through university and beyond.

All were duly noted.

On Monday, June 9th, 2008, at a few minutes before 1 a.m. (GMT), twenty eight years (to the minute) later, I began reposting each entry as it happens/ed.

Only the names will be changed to protect the innocent.
