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.

I saw the banner earlier today and just loved it! I was waiting for this post to come up so I could tell you this.
So now do we have to call you Dr. Superhero Free-Ride? Really, that's a cool banner!
