Old hands at the usenet group talk.origins will recall Chris Nedin well — and now he has entered the blogosphere with his brand new blog, Ediacaran, a blog about paleontology and all the other things that waft through the mind of a science geek. Go say hello!

Many years ago, the locus of all things evolutionist on the interwebs was found on Usenet, in a group called talk.…
There is a tradition among the regulars of the usenet group talk.origins to have occasional gatherings, usually at some major locus of evolutionary activity, and accompanied by beer. Such an event will be happening this Saturday, in London.

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!…

Pls notify Mssr. Nedin that there seems to be a glitch in his blog's software. My attempt to submit a comment was blocked by a request to key in a verification string (quite routine in itself) - but no verification letters were displayed...
