Good bye.
This is the last post that I will write for this blog.
OK, quiet down now, the cheering and clapping is not really very nice.
Oh, if you get a chance, please visit my new blog, here, on Scienceblogs.com. I hope to see you there in a few milliseconds!
From Slashdot:
“After nearly one and a half years of harassment from a relentless attorney, it seems that quietly a blogger in South Carolina has won a monumental ruling in favor of bloggers. In a summary judgement requested by the Defendant, Philip Smith was able to obtain a special sanction after the Plaintiff attorney put a […]
START MEME INSTRUCTIONS
The Substantive Post Meme and Self-Generating Carnival, with apoptosis. Iteration count: 5
I hereby meme three blogs, as indicated below.
In each case, I have pointed to a substantive post. A substantive post is a post that does not merely report on something elsewhere in the Internet (or wherever), but rather, that provides […]
Italy: Anti-Blog?
Ricardo Franco Levi, Prodi’s right hand man , undersecretary to the President of the Council, has written the text to put a stopper in the mouth of the Internet. The draft law was approved by the Council of Ministers on 12 October. No Minister dissociated themselves from it. On gagging information, very quietly, […]
Far-Ingulatin Mutatin Meem
This ol’ meme come from old great great… great grandaddy PZ “Jetter” Myers. Tangled Up in Blue Guy give it to me and I’m fixin to take the post that he wrote, change by the rules and then pass it on. I think I just figgerd out my […]
Rick MacPherson has tagged me with the Pharyngulated Mutating Blorg Meem.
Jim over at from Archaea to Zeaxanthol tagged Rick with that same damnable Pharyngula Mutating Genre Meme. The rules (and there are many) weren’t exactly straight-forward to a cro-magnon like him, and it took me even longer to figure the whole thing […]
I’ve been tagged with a meme (or is it just “memed”). This is from The Thinking Blog.
The idea is that I list five old posts that I think are reflective of the evolution of this blog (which happens to be named Evolution, so this could get confusing). In addition, I am […]
To all you bloggers and web site designers who have implemented Snap Preview: You can stop now. It was fun (for you, not your readers) for a while but the entire world is tired of it and you can turn it off now. Here’s why:
- 1. It pops up a thumbnail without warning as their mouse moves over the link, even accidentally, startling the reader and covering up content they are trying to read.
- 2. It doesn’t meet with accessibility standards and makes reading content hard for those with visual impairment.
- 3. The only way for the reader to turn it off is through an “opt-out” program, forcing the reader to visit the Snap Preview site to turn it off. The site turns it off for that IP address. Switch IP addresses by moving to another computer, Internet service, or otherwise, and it’s back.
That’s from Lorelle on Wordpress, where you can also find instructions for un-Snapping your blog.
I guess I never got the memo. I missed Blog Day 2007. According to Larry Moran:
The rules for today are that we recommend five blogs you may not be reading on a regular basis.
I’m not sure what is meant by “you” … is this you, or me, we’re talking about.
Anyway, I decided […]
If you can’t read this, please let me know!
My prior attempt at updating the style (theme) of this site caused Safari browsers to see very bad things when logging on to this site. Well, maybe I should say worse things. In any event, I think this is working fine in Safari (thanks for checking, Bunny) and otherwise I believe things are working well.
In any event, please let me know if you find any of this annoying or broken!

Many others have described this so I won’t re-describe it. In short, a very wealthy and powerful man wrote a book about Evolution. PZ Myers criticized it. Therefore, the very wealthy and powerful man is suing PZ (and Seed Magazine).
Good plan. If you want to get your ideas across, get […]
Stay Off the Lake

I have returned from South Africa, and I’m now resting up from a busy trip in a cabin on a lake in in the North Country. From where I’m sitting, I can watch as three seagulls and two crows harass one of the two Bald Eagles that nest a few hundred meters from here. […]
Dear Readers
I am leaving momentarily on a short trip overseas, and while I will have Internet access now and then, it will be impossible to maintain this site as per usual on any regular basis during this time. While I will have many opportunities to write, I will have few opportunities to upload. […]
… or is it an interview. I don’t know, but I’m not letting my wife see the picture of Dariana …
This is a web site where “people interview people.” It could actually be interesting. When I get my head above water in a couple of weeks, I may drop […]
