Check out the ScienceBlogs group portrait. They caught me chillin' with my buddy PZ. I wonder if the designer who worked on this ran out of brown pixel, cuz Selva & I look mighty pink! Chris Mooney out front looks a bit uncomfortable. And straight up, WTF are Evil Monkey & Mike Dunford doing???

OK, so a bunch of us sciencebloggers went to New York City this weekend. This is something that we were trying to do for almost a year now. Sure, many of us Sciblings have met one-on-one on occasion, but this was an opportunity to get many of us together all in the same place at the same time, to…
A bunch of Sciblings meeting at the Seed offices in New York City on Friday Afternoon....updated with a couple of more pictures and links....(several more people came late, after my batteries died...)

Even though they'll never admit it, I imagine the creationists allied with the Disco institute are hurting pretty bad right now. Other bloggers have already covered the carnage so I'll just put up some links rather than write up a summary of what's already been said, but the beating ID has received…
Myers? Myers? .... Myers? ..... Myers? (He's not here, Ben ... Your producer threw him out.)You know about the incredibly ironic dust up, whereby Expelled! producers kicked PZ myers out of line at a pre-release showing, but failed to notice that Richard Dawkins was standing right next to him…
that's some nontrivial flash
But on your right is Teh Pretty one.
Are you suppose to be flashing a gang sign in the picture? Are you representing for Dhaka or pacific northwest?
Where's Chet?
That's a trip: flashing gang signs and crowding in on PZ. That artist pays attention.

It actually appears to be an odd juxtaposition of an old-school hip-hop pose with the common fucked-up version of the "Satan" gesture preferred by metal fans (clarification: if you extend the thumb you don't complete the third six, and end up making the old-hippie sign for "love", which has absolutely nothing to do with metal). Since Razib is (AFAIK) a southeast Asian, the most appropriate sign would be the ring-finger retracted and connected to the thumb with the rest extended, which makes the "East Side" sign.
Of they could just have drawn him in a Slayer t-shirt and making the proper version of the metal sign. This is preferable because metal is awesome.
I just have to say this. I've seen Razib. He's brown. Haven't seen Selva or Dave Ng but Selva looks brown too and I'm going to be reckless and assume Dave is asian. So why are they painted such a pasty pink? And even more intriguing, why do they have such monkeyish ears? I'd just assume they happened to be three non-white dudes who coincidentally have jug ears. But I've seen Razib's ears. They don't even stick out slightly. So in the face of a shortage of brown paint, did monkey ears become Seed shorthand for minority? Choice supporting detail in this theory would be that two people who might be assumed to be tainted by monkey-association, Mark Chu-Carroll and Ben Cohen..... straddle the divide between the monkey-eared ones and the pure pink masses.....
