We now join our programme, already in progress:
- Thaddeus Nelson catches the last half of NOVA's documentary The Bible's Buried Secrets (2008), and doesn't particularly like what he sees.
- John Baez brings us the latest in the case of El Naschie: "According to the Elsevier spokesperson, El Naschie is retiring to spend more time with his sockpuppets."
- Seth Zenz gives me flashbacks to my days in an actual experimental laboratory by explaining how the tracking systems in particle detectors work.
- Dave Guarrera takes me even further back by listing analogies he's used to teach undergrads about electrical circuits.
- Tyler DiPietro unloads the Snark Cannon on the Marquis de Coiffure, so I don't have to.
- The Digital Cuttlefish gets its first glowing book review, and I get some serious cred as a layout designer. If you can't rely on unwitting praise from random people on the Internet, on what can you rely?
- Russell Blackford and Udo Schuklenk are handing a manuscript to their publisher, and Russell tries to remember how to relax.
- Tobasco da Gama has some photos up of the pro-marriage-equality rally we recently attended. The black-and-white film, apparently "really noisy from lying around unused for a couple of years", makes the pictures look exceptionally historic.

In fact, I've been so unrelaxed in the last few months - indeed throughout this year - that it totally escaped my notice until now that you've moved over to ScienceBlogs. Congratulations on the move, mate.

Thank you! It's been an interesting environment. Learning to stay out of arguments on the back-channel forums, for example, has been quite the experience.

Critique of Nova?
Better read it, then. I've been meaning to get to it through a proxy, just didn't get around to it.
