Bioephemera not only shows off a chandelier to die for (if I had one installed, my wife would make sure I died for it), but has announced that she needs a cephalopodmania category. It's infectious.

Another blogger with a reputation for Friday Squid blogging is Bruce Schneier. Rumor has it that he will be here at ConFusion, and the organizers are going to try and arrange an ad hoc session with the two of us, on squid.

When you hear SciBlings mention "our Seed Overlords", they are talking about Ginny, our new Commander-in-Chief and Royal Cat-herder. At the Science Blogging Conference three weeks ago, she herded (almost) 20 of us in Real Life to take the famous group photo.
Welcome to A Blog Around The Clock.…
Some events combined last week to make me feel like ScienceBlogs needs to have a serious discussion about race and science. Here's a place to start - how do white people tell their own racial or ethnic stories?
More below the fold...
So last week, Monday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon, I…
Yes! We made it home! The plane was a few hours late, the weather was awful, and we didn't pull into our driveway until 3AM (my brain is not exactly humming along right now, I tell you what…), but it was a great weekend at ConFusion.

I have to thank a few of…
ON STRIKE!
It's come to this. We've been facing a steady erosion of talent here at Scienceblogs, with the loss of good people like Carl Zimmer and Ed Yong a while back, and with the very abrupt departure of 15 bloggers after the recent PepsiCo debacle — an event that damaged the reputation of this…

"Who's PZ Myers?"
"He's the bald bearded guy who writes a blog taking the piss out of people with bizarre, erroneous beliefs, and he's obsessed with squid."
Well, another unique identification heuristic gone...
Except...I'm not balding. I tend to get quite shaggy, actually.
Not that there's anything wrong with going bald, of course.
Won't that be slippery?
I immediately took the phrase "on squid" in the "this is your brain on squid" sense...
Yes, my question was going to be: "Riding them or taking them?" It might make for an interesting jousting debate format.
Schneier AND Myers on one platform. That's a session I'd like to listen to.
Are there podcasts anywhere?
How about something along the lines of Stifler's dance contest in American Wedding. A squid-off, if you will, with authentic mating "dances" etc. A picture says a thousand words.......
So, I was wondering if I should show up to ConFusion with a bag of Cthulhu spawn in tow, seeing as it's only about 45 minutes away.
That is one heck of a chandelier. It's guaranteed to make the owner feel very special.
Two on one? But plenty of arms to go around. Can we work creamed corn wrestling into this? If so, I'd buy a ticket!
Thanks for the terrifying flood of blog traffic, PZ. I've been hiding under a blanket with my stuffed octopus all day. ;)
That chandelier wouldn't be too bad in other colors actually-like steel gray or something. Damn, it *is* contagious! :^O
Yo Doc,
'Have a chandelier installed'????!!!!
In Minnesota real men install their own chandeliers. It's only two frigin' wires and some screws--or 2-penny nails when I put 'em up.
(Of course, in Minnesota real real men don't like chandeliers.)
Except...I'm not balding. I tend to get quite shaggy, actually.

Oops. Sorry. My only excuse is that I based the judgement on the tiny photo top left, which does have a sort of balding look, and bottom left, which crops out the top of your head completely. I will adapt my Dichotomous Blogger Identification Tree accordingly.
