On the weekend, fellow ScienceBloggers seem prone to mass hysteria, taking various silly Internet tests. Even I, Orac, have succumbed to such temptations. I wasn't going to succumb to this one, as Grrlscientist, PZ, Afarensis, Chris, and Bora have, but then I saw the result.
Using the same Advertising Slogan Generator, I think I have the best advertising slogan of them all:
It Needn't Be Hell With Orac.
Indeed.
I think I'll go with that one.

This weekend, Seed Media, our benevolent and beloved corporate overlords, sponsored a Scibling gathering: ScienceBloggers from all over the country (and outside) all gathered in New York, ate, drank, and partied.
It made for quite an interesting weekend. I didn't end up being able to hang around…
After all the chatter that's been going on throughout ScienceBlogs about Matt Nisbet and Chris Mooney's editorial, Framing Science, published in Science on Friday, I almost thought that there was nothing really left for me to say. Of course, regular readers of this blog know that there's rarely an…
Three years ago I didn't even know what science blogging was. Frustrated as a freelance writer, I typed "science blog" into my search engine and was thrilled when this network showed up first on the list. Here was a community of researchers and writers whose love of learning and the sharing of…
I'm not taking as much heat as the other two amateur taxonomists on ScienceBlogs, but I'll also throw the topic open for suggestions. So, if I left your favorite sub-field of physics out of my Geek Taxonomy, drop me a comment suggesting a field that I left out, and what I ought to say about it. (…
Love it. But your link to afarensis also goes to PZ's page.
Not any more. I fixed it.
I think it's a conspiracy

Off topic, but have you seen the latest Dr. Who yet? (Part 1 of the two-part series ender.) Day-um, but I am looking forward to Saturday's episode. I shall be sat in front of the telly at 7 o'clock, curtains drawn, beer to hand. RTD wasn't kidding when he told us that they had something spectacular lined up to end the series.
I think it's time to start a campaign to get Russell T. Davies a knighthood for services to Dr Who...
Thanks to BitTorrent, I watched it yesterday.
After two lame episodes, this one was a stunner, a great story with a surprise ending that I'm kicking myself for not having figured out before it was revealed in the very last scene. Even if you leave aside the surprise ending, the story was fantastic, with the images of thousands of Cybermen materializing all over the world in London, Paris, India, etc., were stunning.
This two-parter has the potential to be the best Doctor Who story yet since the series was resurrected last year.
Yes, I don't know how I failed to see it coming, either. Oh, boy, 10 million cybermen *plus* all those... ah, maybe I shouldn't give it away :-)
I wonder if the next series will resurrect the Ice Warriors - that would complete the big baddy trifecta of my youth.
So take nothing.

I don't know about "best"... putting in "Pooflinger" was sort of boring, so I put it "shyte" instead.
The result: "Shyte - It Looks Good On You"
I think I need to make a change to my blog now...

I like to think of myself as friendly (I'm more so online than IRL, though), but to fly me?
