carnivals
Now that the Seventh Book is available for pre-order (and beating all the records, not to mention being #1 on Amazon), there is gooing to be a lot of blogospheric speculation about it, e.g., who dies, what happens and how it ends. So, between now and July 21st, as well as afterwards, read the Carnival of Harry Potter and submit your entries to it whenever you write something about it. The latest edition, posted last night, is up on Pensieve.
The very first blog carnival, the Carnival of Vanities was invented here, in Chapel Hill.
The very first state-based blog carnival, the Tar Heel Tavern was invented here, in Chapel Hill. There were about a hundred editions of this weekly carnival so far and the Second Anniversary is approaching fast.
The latest 102nd edition was posted last night on Moomin Light. Next week, the carnival comes back home to my old, recently resurrected blog Science And Politics. Send me permalinks to your best post (or two) of the week by Saturday night, at: Coturnix AT gmail DOT com.
Also, let me know if…
Bio::Blogs #7, the carnival of bioinformatics and quantitative biology, is up on BioHacking
Let's all catch up with the latest carnivals, shall we?
Skeptics' Circle #53
Carnival of the Liberals #31
Carnival of Education #104
Friday Ark #124
Otherwise, a few long threads are sucking all the air out of this place. Say whatever you think, as long as it doesn't involve cartoon characters and their creators.
Philosophia Naturalis #6 is up on Science And Reason. Have I missed any other carnivals this week?
So, whats' cookin' in the local blogging world? Quite a lot, actually.
First, our little group, BlogTogether is growing, growing. Instead of being just a little " target="_blank" title="">Anton's sideproject, we are thinking of turning it into a non-profit organization - so if you have experience with founding non-profits please let us know ASAP.
Also, apart from Anton, several others (including myself) are now able to post there. This will make the blog much more active and interactive this year than it was ever before. We are also looking for a nice-looking logo for it so we can slap…
Skeptics Circle #53 is up on Slicing with Occam's Razor.
Festival of the Trees #8 is up on Ginkgo Dreams.
There is a (finally!) brand new Carnival of the Mathematics
And, although there are already three other EduCarnivals doing well, there is another one coming, the Carnival of the Edublogs focusing on the use of technology in the classroom.
And I linked to a bunch of other carnivals already this week as the new editions were getting posted...
As is traditional at the end of the month, a new Circus of the Spineless is up at The Voltage Gate. And the next Circus of the Spineless at the end of February will be…here! Start sending me good stuff on invertebrate organisms—remember, there are over 30 animal phyla, and all but one of them are fair game, and even that one contains non-vertebrate classes. Will we be able to get them all represented?
Four Stone Hearth #8 is up on Northstate Science
The 47th History Carnival is up on ProgressiveHistorians
Circus of the Spineless #17: The Symbology of Invertebrates is up on The Voltage Gate
Carnival of the Green #62 is up on Jetson Green
The latest Tangled Bank is online at Ouroboros, and it's a big one. I noticed what seemed to be an awful lot of entries whizzing through my mailbox on the way, so I had a suspicion that we were giving Chris a workout with this edition.
Tangled Bank 72: What's in a name? Read the best of last two weeks' science blogging on Ouroboros.
Teaching Carnival #19 is up on Scribblingwoman
The 104th Carnival of Education is up on The Median Sib
