aardvarchaeology | January 14, 2007Behold R. Hampton's excellent masthead banner! Book token goodness and a massive charisma bonus are coming hes way.
The blog-reading public has reacted very favourably to my move to Scienceblogs on 29 December. Statshot: my old Blogger site is still attracting 136 median unique first-time readers a day simply through Google, and the new site has seen a median of 113 uniques a day in the past two weeks. 34 of these are returning Dear Readers. Taken together, these figures show that I have never had as many daily readers before over a period of weeks as I have now. Comments have been abundant,…

clock | January 14, 2007The entire file is now finished - the last quick round of proofreading is all that's left before the Grand Unveiling right at this place (likely tomorrow morning).
Since people nominated the best science posts and those tend to be the most substantial posts which tend to be very long posts (sometimes in two or more parts), the book will be much thicker than I expected - around 330 pages! This, unfortunately, will also make it a tad little bit more expensive (still not hugely expensive - this is online, print-on-demand model of publishing after all).
I got 13 out of 50 letters of agreement/…

aardvarchaeology | January 11, 2007Any artists out there? This blog needs a nice masthead banner at the top. I'd like it to feature the following:The word AardvarchaeologyAt least one recognisable aardvarkRecognisable archaeology stuff, e.g. a square pit, a spoil dump, a sieve, a trowel, a bucket, a folding rule, a metal detector, a surveying instrument on a tripod...The dimensions of the graphic should be 756 x 93 pixels.
All submissions will be showcased here, and if I get one I decide to use, then its creator will receive a $20 book token and +3 charisma.
Now go play with yer crayons!
5 January. Here's a good one from…

retrospectacle | January 11, 2007There's a kerfuffle in our midst.
Fellow ScienceBlogger Dr.Charles posted a piece about John Edwards (calling him a "piss-poor presidential candidate"), which a DailyKos diarist took high offense to (now removed by the author). The diarist called Dr. Charles a coward for closing the comments to his post, and encouraged all readers of ScienceBlogs to de-link us en masse until Dr. Charles re-opened the comments on the offending post.
Sadly, most of the paper trail is gone, but the comment on Dr. Charles' site are quite telling (he did re-open and the diarist did apologize). Anyway, the point…

clock | January 10, 2007Those of you who were around the Progressive Blogosphere a couple of years back probably remember Mick Arran and his Omnium blog (or his other blogs). Due to financial difficulties, Mick had to shut down all his blogging and online activities about a year ago. Fortunately, his life took a turn for the better and now Mick is back online, with his brand new blog Witness For The Prosecusion. Go say 'Welcome Back'.
