Ambushed by incoming memes

By awild on November 30, 2008.

Apparently the leafy green banner above is insufficient camouflage in the blogosphere.  The Myrmecos Blog has been noticed by the meme-passers.  Three times this week.

Bug Girl has tagged me with the "Six Random Things".  Adrian Thysse would rather have me do "Five Things".  And Huckleberry Days linked me with a "Superior Scribbler Award".

This unexpected recognition gives me plenty to blog about apart from the usual buggy fare, but the meme-passers will have to forgive me if I take my time.  It's a busy week. I'm giving the departmental seminar tomorrow, and I've got piles of new RNA polymerase sequences to process for the braconid project.

Plus, we've just had our first real snow here in Champaign.  And for the moment I'd rather gaze out the window at the white wonderland and sip my coffee.  I will get to the memes, though.

Arghhh! I hate blog memes, but rules are rules. As Robert Service said, "a promise made is a debt unpaid, and the trail has its own stern code," and although I'm not sure how that applies, I'm forced to respond. From Abel over at TerraSig comes a random blog meme...literally. For the uninitiated…
"Why Do You Blog Meme"
I got tagged with a meme by Greg who is trying to track the branching tree of this meme, so go check his post out (especially let him know if you do one of your own). He is also instructing us that the post is supposed to be full of links.... I love blog memes, and I have done many of them, most…
The Ironic Meme
If Richard Dawkins spends much time in the blogosphere, he's probably quite pleased with himself these days on account of the success of the meme meme. By that, I mean the "unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one…
