I want to thank the many kind folks who submitted banners to my little contest. (Y'all are talented!) As you may have noticed, the winning entry is now gracing the blog.
The banner was designed by P.D. Magnus, who is not only a talented artist, but is also a fine philosopher of science (with his own weblog, of course).

I hope my blogging can live up to the promise of the banner.
