Over the next few weeks I’m going to manually moving pre-2006 posts on Stranger Fruit over to this site. Longtime readers - or is that reader - will remember that the blog was hosted on my own server between January 2004 and December 2005 but disappeared into the aether after a database crash early this year. Remnants are, however, to be found on the Wayback Machine and I’m going to use those to recreate some of the material going back to January ’04 in an effort to give it more permanence. I’m going to have to do this manually, but that will enable me to just concentrate on the science and anti-science material, though I will still repost some political material as needed.

As John Lynch points out, today marks the first anniversary of the launch of ScienceBlogs, an experiment in gathering conversations about science in a dedicated corner of the blogosphere. (Yes, I know that spheres don't have corners. Let me enjoy my mixed metaphor.)
