Many of the other ScienceBlogs authors are posting "greatest hits" links so that new readers can get acquainted with some of their previous writings. I figured I'd do the same, since I know I've picked up a lot of new readers in the last few weeks. These links will open up the original post from the archives of my old blog, but I ask you not to leave comments there because the main page of that blog is no longer accessible and no one will notice. If you want to leave comments, please do so here. Here are some of my favorite posts on various subjects.

Hi Ed - don't forget the cross post of "An Open Letter To Gay Marraige Opponents" at UTI that generated more than 80 comments. I still get comments on that every now and then.
"The Meaning of Life is That it Ends" link does not work.
Oops, should work now.
Ed, thanks for linking these old ones, there were some that I had not yet read. But mostly, thanks for taking the time to shred the swiss-cheese logic and kraft-brand rhetoric employed by the IDers. I gave you a special mention in one of the first posts on my blog:

I was curious, in one of your essays, you said that Dembski was paid about $100,000 in total, where did you find that information?

Inoculated Mind-
That information is incorrect, and I thank you for finding it for me. I recall reading somewhere that it was that much, but that information appears to be false. I think someone confused the number of hours (which I believe was 112) with the dollar figure. I think it was more along the lines of $20,000 (112 hours at $200 an hour). I intended to fix that and it slipped my mind. I'll fix it now. My apologies to Mr. Dembski for having mentioned that figure from memory without confirming that it was accurate.
Ok, thanks, I couldn't find it said anywhere else. It's ok to make mistakes, but the difference between how you and Dembski on this is that you will admit when you have made a mistake. He, instead, will cover it up or call it street theater. Now I shall correct the disrepancy on my post.
