Welcome to the new home of Dispatches from the Culture Wars. I have joined forces with a group of other popular science bloggers under the umbrella of Seed Media Group. As I've previously noted, all content here is still solely my responsibility. I will still write whatever I want about any subject I choose and no one has any authority over that but me. Nothing will change from the old blog at all. I will continue to write about evolution and creationism, as befitting a science blog, but I will also continue to write about constitutional law, politics, religion, and my three favorite hobbies (poker, college basketball and BBQ). So make yourself at home. There's iced tea in the fridge and steaks on the grill.

It is with great regret that I am writing this. Scienceblogs.com has been a big part of my life for four years now and it is hard to say good bye.
Everything that follows is my own personal thinking and may not apply to other people, including other bloggers on this platform. The new contact…
If you're reading this, you obviously got the message from my old blog and followed the link. This is the permanent home of Dispatches from the Culture Wars. A lot more content is planned for the main page, but that will take some time to get going the way I want to. As you can see, I pasted the…
A lot of Twitter energy was soaked up Friday afternoon by a half stupid article by Virginia Heffernan at the New York Times. Sparked by Sodamageddon, she takes a look at ScienceBlogs for the first time, and doesn't like what she sees:

Nice try. You'll not shake me that easily!
Congratulations on finding a nice home in the 'burbs.

I have arrived.
Well, the new digs are looking good. I admit I really liked the color scheme of the old Dispatches, but this is looking really wicked as well.
So, welcome to your new home. I hope it serves you very well.
Nice design, Ed. I liked the other one too, though.
The site looks pretty good. I will have to check out the other blogs and see if you have found a good neighborhood. My only quibble is the fixed width. I liked that the old site would fill my browser window.
Hi Mom!
Unfortunately, guys, I have zero control at this point over the look of the blog. At some point soon, we'll have multiple themes to choose from but at this point we just have this one. Like Mike, I strongly prefer a variable width template. So the look will certainly change before too long. But at this point, it's functional and that's all that matters.
Nice move. I've been reading for a while, but I have just now signed up for an account. What are your thoughts on the Ohio vote yesterday? Is legal action the next step?
Great site!
Ed,
Now I've been reading for a while, and I've never learned that you liked BBQ. I grew up in Abilene, TX, and trust me, we had good BBQ restaurants everywhere. Somewhere around a dozen.

I don't have a lot of details on it at this point. I have friends there with Ohio Citizens for Science and they've been working on it, but I'm sure I'll here more today about the specifics. Or perhaps if Richard Hoppe sees this, he can post some of the details here. I suspect there may be legal action coming, but I don't have any inside info on that.
Congratulations Ed. The new site looks great. Next step, get yourself added to John Brockman's stable of Edge contributors. Well, we can dream can't we?
