Over at Science and Reason, Charles Daney has launched a new blog carnival, focussing on physical science and technology issues. I rarely remember to participate in these things-- the deadlines just go whooshing by, like deadlines do-- but the general concept is pretty popular, and we need more physical science blogging on the Interweb. There are, what, nine different bio-themed blog carnivals? There should be at least one about physics...
And there's some good stuff in the first issue, now available: Philosophia Naturalis #1. So check it out, and if you have a better memory than I do, send them some stuff before the next deadline.

I am blogging lightly while I write madly in Real World™ conditions - some deadlines approach, such as grant deadlines, paper deadlines, book review deadlines and editing deadlines. That said, I will pop up for a bit occasionally, but bear with me.
The Social Science Statistics blog (new to me, but it's been around for a while) has a good writeup of a 2002
I have to spend the day working with a thesis student who needs to finish up by tomorrow (no pressure), so I don't have time to write up the seven-part detailed explanation of the physics of deep-fried turkey that I was hoping to do. Maybe next year.
When I was in college, I put off everything until the last possible instant: I got out of bed just moments before class started; I finished papers minutes before they were due. But I rarely actually missed a deadline for a paper.
Check here about another one, which preceeded the one you are mentioning in this post; The first edition of the carnival had even your posts in it!
But as you said, you might have forgotten about it. Again, not for any competition, but merely for factual report I am mentioning about the other carnival.
Thanks and keep up your good work with physics at this blog.
