I missed it when it happened, but this post was my 1000th since the move to Seed. My average is 8.2 posts per day. How about you?
Fortunately, MovableType has the ability to schedule posts for future publishing. Thus, I usually write a bunch of posts at night (it may take an hour or two to write…

Absolutely read this: If This Goes On....A Scenario. And read the comments (ignore the trolls, focus on people with insight and information).
Funny, when I wrote this, people said that I was "paranoid" while the point of the post that too many people are not paranoid enough.
I particularly like…

Since the mere mention of Libertarianism induces so much commenting and traffic, I am assuming people are interested in the topic. That post has a bunch of good old links. Here are three brand new ones - what do you think about each one of them?

As Nick says:
Interestingly, as opponents of science (.....) continue to take on increasingly scientific-sounding arguments (....) this study demonstrates that these are only quasi-scientific, manufactured to support a particular viewpoint and not intended to actually communicate new information.

Mold in DLC Office:
For several years, the presence of mold in the DLC building has been a nagging but manageable concern. In the past 4 years, DLC has spent more than $15,000 to contain and destroy the mold that grows in the building's damp…

I wish more bloggers would read and bookmark this post (I don't know when I first wrote it, but I moved it up top on April 20, 2006):
This is an old post but I wanted to bring it up to top as I recently saw some blogs shut down improperly, i.e., deleting the complete content.
Every now and then a…

I see that I was the only one answering this week's Ask The ScienceBlogger question (so far). Perhaps these two new studies will inspire some of my SciBlings to add their own thoughts:
Everybody Dance: The Energy You Use Won't Shorten Your Life:
The theory that animals die when they've expended…

Kevin is back from China and busy with school, work and herping in the Sandhills so it took him some time to put together this last installment, covering the last few days in China, the last-ditch efforts to ID some of the mysterious frogs, and the glorious return.
We have yet to get together for…

A January 20, 2006 post placing a cool physiological/behavioral study into an evolutionary context.
There are two main hypotheses - not mutually exclusive - for the adaptive value of having a circadian clock. One is the Internal Synchronization hypothesis, stating that the circadian clock serves…

Yes, I like some strange movies, but I arrived in the USA too late to see The Greatest American Hero TV show. Can you tell me more about it?

As I have written so much about Lakoff before, I feel I should say something - anything - to defend him from the onslaught he's seen lately on Seed's scienceblogs here, here, here, here and here.
What I think is important is to distinguish between several different things that Lakoff does. It…
