While I was out of town for the holidays, Bora announced that he's putting together an anthology of high-quality science blogging to go with the Science Blogging Conference that's happening in January. He's looking for something like fifty posts to be compiled and published using Lulu.

Or, you could just look at it as a great source of reading material, if you're looking to kill a few hours.
