I suppose the regulars have noticed that I've dropped off a bit lately. I can explain...
The next few weeks are mad for me. I have two papers to write, and deliver, one in Canberra at the Australasian Association of Philosophy Conference in Canberra (on information in genes, or the lack of it) next week, and one in Exeter, UK, at Egenis, on microbial species (which my readers have had a summary version of already). And this week we have a philosophy of ecology conference here at the UQ, which involves skin diving with the visitors (what we have to do in philosophy, really!).
While I'm travelling (and visiting Downe House, Paris, Chicago, and then going to the Future Directions in the Biology Studies workshop at Bloomington, Indiana) I may or may not have internet access, so the blog may get updated, or not. I don't have stuff to schedule, I'm afraid.
But I'll be meeting a bunch of interesting folk, including Susan Blackmore, David Hull, and a bunch of Names at Bloomington, so I'll try to write stuff and post it when I get a connection.
Thanks to Paul Griffiths for the funding to do all this.

Damn, I would have paid cash money to see you in a wet suit!
Have a great trip, enjoy your visit to "the Shrine" and get back safe!
You still can. What am I bid for the photos? Extra for Sterelny in a wetsuit...
Okay, I'll pay one dollar (Australian -- that is still considered cash, right?) for each picture of you. I'll double it for every one that includes other people pointing and laughing!
I'll buy Sterelny's pictures if you throw in a list of his friends and enemies I can sell the pictures to. Needless to say, I don't need that for your pictures.
I thought you said you'd pay cash money...
All I can say is that some people have all the fun.
Oh yes...and:
Is the paper on the information content of genes going to be available to the general public at some point?
