Change is good, right?
Nice of Sean to take the blame, just in case someone is feeling curmudgeonly about it.
Not that they should, since the option of continuing the old way by default is still there...
That is change we can live with.

It isn't possible to adequately describe what a long military deployment is like for those left behind, but I'm going to try anyway. I'm going to try, even though I know that my own experience and my own views aren't necessarily going to reflect what others in similar situations are going through.…
Kevin Trenberth's latest paper, which appears in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, is uncharacteristically and refreshingly blunt right from the first few words of the introduction:

Mark H at the Denialism blog asks if a story on CNN's website about how to get rid of ghosts in your house is a joke. Turns out the original story is from the online version of This Old House magazine (to which I subscribe, living as I do in an old house in need of renovations.) And considering how…
I am willing to fall on my sword, if it means I only look at 10 astro-ph abstracts a day instead of 50.
eh, long astro-ph lists never bothered me. paging through 50 titles only takes a couple of minutes, and i see interesting things in fields apart from mine.
I didn't know the change had been made until I saw Sean's blog post, as I just followed my normal bookmark. I'm glad they kept the old way as a possibility too, as I might have been able to cut out 40% of the abstracts I don't urgently need to see but would have to check 3 different lists to cover my bases. And I like the exposure to other subfields anyway as well as the extra few minutes to procrastinate real work while doing something somewhat productive.
