Regular transmissions to resume shortly

As you can probably tell from the last two "photos of the day", I'm back from Utah. It was a wonderful trip, but I have been too swamped with other projects/commitments to get this blog back up to speed. Regular blog entries will resume soon.

After reading S.J. Gould's Dinosaur in a Haystack while in transit to and from the beehive state, however, I started to reconsider what this blog is meant to be. Specifically, I am thinking of writing higher-quality essays less often than simply trying to feed this blog every weekday. This will be an experiment (Laelaps is, after all, a writing lab first and foremost), but I am hoping to get back to developing my writing and stop fretting over simply providing new content each day. Thank you for sticking with me during the transition.

I will mirror this post on the Science Blogging Conference homepage. Let me know if I missed you (i.e., if you ever mentioned or intend to mention the conference on your blog). This will be updated until everyone is exhausted!

You can follow the conversation about the Conference by checking in, every now and then, the Blog and Media Coverage page on the wiki.

Brian, for what it's worth, I enjoy less frequent, in-depth essays compared to a more constant stream.

I tend to follow blogs that have about 2-3 posts/week simply due to the amount of time I can devote to reading online. But that's just me ... everyone is different.

Looking forward to more of your writing.
