clock | December 22, 2006You may have seen (or even bought and read) those annual collections of science-related articles that were published in print press over a course of a year, e.g., The Best American Science Writing 2006 or The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2006. Wonderful stuff, written by real pros.
But we are bloggers - the TIME persons of the year! We think differently. We want amateurs, not pros. We want best in the world, not just American.
The idea about an anthology of best science writing came from Lulu.com, a local online publishing company, which has initially offered to print a…

Also, Wampum folks need money for the generator in order to run the Koufaxes. Choose between PayPal button and Amazon.com button. While there, make suggestions for new categories and take a poll about it. How about a Science category? The righties had it this year and it is WE who are supposed to be "reality-based community".

clock | December 21, 2006Here is one person's view. I agree on being careful about revealing personal stuff (especially about other people), but I found that I get lots of comments on those rare occasions when I post a picture of a cat, so there must be a large audience for it out there. I have also been asked to write more about myself and often got links and comments on the most personal posts, so there must be a large audience for that kind of stuff out there. What do you think?
He also links to two interesting and informative posts on ProBlogger about what to do with your blog while on vacation and how to…
purepedantry | December 21, 2006If you hadn't heard yet, Time's Person of the Year is...well...You. The thrust of their argument is that New Media is user-generated media, and sites like blogs, MySpace, and YouTube are changing the way that we create and distribute information. It has a totally tacky mirror on the front cover so that you can see yourself.
George Will wrote an editorial where he takes issue with the self-absorbed silliness of this choice. While I am inclined to agree on some points -- frankly it strikes me as the choice you make when you don't really want to make a choice -- he makes (or rather questions…

clock | December 20, 2006The 29th Carnival of Feminists is up on The imponderabilia of actual life containing posts by several of my favourite bloggers, including Zuska who has her own pick of favourites there.
Speaking of Zuska, she also has a cool article in the inaugural issue of the new science-culture Inkling Magazine, the brainchild of the magnificent blogging Trio Fantasticus of Inkycircus.
And while we are on the topic, Razib exhibits a complete lack of sense of irony, i.e., the inability to see sarcasm and seeing seriousness instead.
clock | December 20, 2006OK, everyone is doing this (Janet was the last one I saw), so I'll do it, too. Instead of writing a creative year in review, just copy the first sentence of the first blogpost of each month in 2006. Until June 9th I had three blogs, so I have to pick the first sentence from the first post on each! Since then, this is the only one. Here are mine (I skipped quick shout-outs to carnivals and such):

clock | December 17, 2006Ah, everyone is too busy getting ready for the holidays to remember to send their entries to the Tar Heel Tavern, so, this week, it is pretty small, but I am glad to see that I am not the only one writing about driving and traffic.
BTW, do not forget the Chapel Hill/Carrboro Blogger MeetUp tonight at 7pm at the library.
