Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

The second season of the 'Beacons of the Bloggerati'
Just like we did last year at about the same time, Sheril, Abel and I went to Duke and talked to the students of the 'Science and the Media' class taught by Misha Angrist. We talked about science blogging, got some great questions from the students, and then went out for lunch - it was a lovely day here in the Triangle today. Update: There was another blogger there, stealthily! Dr.Isis was…
Weekend Diversion: The Dumbest Sign in History (Synopsis)
“I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, ‘Hey, the sign says you’re open 24 hours.’ He said, ‘Yes, but not in a row.’” -Stephen Wright It seems like there's a sign for everything, from warnings to advisories to just plain good counsel. Have a listen to the Kelly Bell Band perform their entertaining song, Must've Bumped Your…
