Those who are getting very agitated, missing out on their Usenet fix of the group talk.origins, which has been dormant for the past few days, should know that Steps Are Being Taken. Stop emailing me. I don't know any more than this... go take some other stimulant. Alcohol, chocolate, anything!
Oh, and on another subject, PZ is reported in the Inside Higher Ed website. Nothing new - that same old positions, ranging from crucifixion to "meh".

Everyone knows already why I was off in Melbourne this past week — it was the Global Atheist Conference — but why did I hare off to Canberra for the weekend? It was another conspiracy.
Many years ago, the locus of all things evolutionist on the interwebs was found on Usenet, in a group called talk.…

Orphaned image.
Weirdly, I just learned that recovering alcoholics, especially those who are early in the recovery process, are recommended to eat chocolate to curb their craving for alcohol. According to my sources, this recommendation is included…
I've now read all of the science-related (that's applying the term "related" very generously) stuff in Ann Coulter's awful, ghastly, ignorant book, Godless, and it's a bit overwhelming. This far right-wing political pundit with no knowledge of science at all has written a lengthy tract that is wall…
For aspiring technicians, who live in the right parts of the country, biotech jobs are out there and waiting. But what if you don't want to be a technician? Or what if you're in graduate school, in a post-doc, or have a Ph.D. and simply want to do something else?
Where do you begin?
How do…
Talk.origins not operating? Hunh! My life has been so much more productive since I broke the habit of t.o. a couple of years ago. Now, instead of being ignored there, I am ignored in so many other places.
I hope that people survive! Perhaps they should go outside, take a walk, dig up a fossil, look at some stars, play with their kids.

Hi John,
I haven't worried about talk.origions for maybe 18 months, since Google "Blessed be it's name" [joke] changed the way that the thread was presented. I went for the various Gods in "RuneScape" after that.
