I'm vaguely relieved that I didn't make the Top Five in the Nerd-Off. Just to prove that I'm still plenty nerdy, though, here are a few links:
First, a new(ish) physics grad student blog, Tales from the Learning Curve, by Jen Fallis. I noticed her blog a while abck when she ran into everyone's favorite troll, but I haven't gotten around to linking her because I'm lazy. Sorry.
Of course, every silver lining has a cloud: Dylan Stiles is shutting down his blog. As Derek Lowe notes, it's probably the right thing to do, but I'll miss his irrepressible chem-dork posts.
Finally, via RRResearch (via BioCurious), a new-to-me Web comic, Lab Bratz. Because we all need more geeky Web comics.

I'm a very, very lazy blogger, and I'm particularly bad about updating my sidebar links. I finally got around to putting a few months' worth of new science-y blogs into the sidebar, though, so you might want to check them out, if you don't already read them:

I feel a little guilty for catering to the whims of Internet perverts in the previous entry, so here are a couple of new science-y blogs worth taking a look at:
First, via Derek Lowe, is the blog of chemistry grad student Dylan Stiles. There's lots of highly geeky material, with lots of little…
Over at Cosmic Variance, Sean has a post highlighting some physics blogs that he's adding to the blogroll. Which reminds me that I've been remiss in updating my own links-- I've recently started reading Swans On Tea regularly, and he's got some great science content. Via Tom, I've also discovered…

Dylan Stiles is a competent organiker. That is what we look like. To be less is to be some kind of loathsome oozing putrescence of a white board-scribbling p-chemist. An engineer answers a question. A first-rate organiker renders the question irrelevent. SOP managerial gratitude upon success:
"GODDAMNIT! It CAN'T work that way!"
Experts, what do they know?
I've been busy away from the internet all day and was more than a little mystified and blown away by the fact that I somehow ended up with around 300 visits so far today (the normal daily total is usually closer to 20 and most of them are people via Google trying to learn about bell curves).
Thanks for the link, thanks for reading and thanks for being one of the reasons I decided to try my hand at this whole blogging thing.
