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…

Went for a long bike ride with my wife, had ice cream, logged three geocaches. Played Glory to Rome with friends in…
Man fishing for bluegills catches shark by hand instead
This is funny: Just so you know, he was not fishing for "bluegills" This is a bluegill: A nice bluegill Bluegills live in fresh water and are like "sunfish" and "pumpkinseeds" and "crappies" etc. all of which are in the bass family. Bluefish live in the ocean and roam along littoral regions in large schools. This is what large bluefish look like: Of course, when one is fishing for bluefish…
The world's biggest ever fish: time to put out the trash
The Bob Nicholls artwork I featured yesterday got some of you talking about a particularly famous denizen of the Jurassic seas. Namely, the gigantic, edentulous pachycormiform actinopterygian Leedsichthys problematicus from the Callovian Oxford Clay Formation. Hold on - - isn't that a... a... fish?
