Just don't let Elaine draw in your eyebrows.

The New York Times has an article profiling the advertising side of ScienceBlogs (you know, the thing that allows Seed to provide us with bandwidth so that we can spew our ivory tower propaganda far and wide).

And all this time I thought we were just dorks, dweebs, and nerds -- but not geeks (they bite the heads off of live chickens). To learn more about your bad-ass-Renaissance-man selves, check out the Seed guide to Leonardos.

I also noticed that P. Zed Myers has his own take on it -- apparently he doesn't like being a pawn in the money game. Don't hate the playa, P. Zed, hate the game.

The Cherry Blossom Classic, Part Two
After my win in round two I was excited for round three. My opponent sported a 1952 rating, and he had white. He opened with 1. e4. Now, over the years I've tried most of the major defenses to e4. I was an aficionado of the Dragon Sicilian for a while, until I noticed I kept getting mated on h7…
