Just a quick note: I'm in the process of changing hosts for my web site, carlzimmer.com. Once the transfer is done, you should be able to get to the article archive, book pages, and all the rest once more. The down time shouldn't last too long. The site will also be going through some long overdue overhauling. Believe it or not, the web site was built back in the twentieth century. Out with the vacuum tubes, I say.

One of the most hated practices on the Internet is the breaking of articles into pages. Jason Kottke swearingly rants against it here, and Mike Davidson denounces the practice here. I don't much like the practice either, especially when a short, pointless article is broken into four or more pages (…
Among the many obligations keeping me away from the blog is the nearly-completed overhaul of my web site, carlzimmer.com. Along with information on my books and talks, the site also has an archive of the past few years of my articles. I've made my way back to 2001, and I am continuing to push back…
Greetings. As I bring in my html luggage and unpack, let me stop for a moment to introduce myself and this blog.
I'm a science writer. I started out at Discover, where I ended up as a senior editor before heading out into the freelance world in 1999. Since then I've written for a number of…
Yes, the book. My Job in 10 Years: The Future of Academic Libraries.
To rewind a bit, the story begins this past January. I did a little off-the-cuff post on how libraries could model their web presences on commercial book-related sites like Tor.com or the Globe & Mail Books site. It ended…
Will the change in hosts interfere with reading via RSS? (That is, will the syndication feed URI change?)
Ja--The carlzimmer.com web site is separate from scienceblogs.com, which hosts my blog and many others. So the cz.com will have no effect on your rss feed from here.
And core memory?
I've worked on two machines with core. One lived long enough for TCP/IP to be invented (the net transfer protocol). The other lived long enough to actually run Unix and TCP/IP. But it didn't live
long enough to run even a text-only web browser.
Vacuum tubes...
Vaccum comes in tubes? What breathing difficulty is that for?
Anyway, I'll take the opportunity I should've taken in the post about your nomination: this is one of the most thoughtful, wideranging, articulate, and--at appropriate times--bitingly funny science blogs on earth!
Thanks, Carl.
