| My body is worth $3,475. Well, if I was dead and in America. ScienceBloggers have been having fun discussing the (admittedly unscientific) Cadaver Calculator, which works out the value of your body parts to medical researchers. Take the test and... |

| Wither Blogging? Not Yet, But Perhaps Soon |

| Earlier this week we chatted - here and on Twitter - about Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS). Our appetite for new technologies and channels is certainly insatiable, but it points to a larger trend. Perhaps we're in search of a new format (or formats) to replace the almighty blog. What, wither blogging? Not quite. I believe blogs remain extremely |

If anyone wants to improve on it, please do. Katherine Sharpe, our blogmistress (she's the one with the whip, but it's a nice whip), has dumped some basic information on the |

| I love xkcd the same way that I love Dork Tower, which puts me in very good (and not at all limited) company. As it turns out, xkcd speaks to a lot of other geeks, as well.Take, for example, this cartoon:Hilarious, right? You've always wanted to do it, right? Started planning to make it happen as soon as you read the comic when it first ran, |

| Clever, those kids at Philly.com. Restore Blinq to an honored spot on the Philly.com blogroll, and maybe they can get some more new tricks from this old hound. Not sure what I have to say, since my blog reading has... |

| When I checked the weather at 5am I saw four straight days of storm clouds and lightning—-so I was not surprised when my plane was delayed, with the result that, after taking the CTA and a bus that stopped about every 2 blocks, I had to run down to the end of the Navy Pier. I was only some 17 minutes late to speak with other bloggers about |

| 20 hours is how long I’ll be away from home today, this Friday the 27th of July. I’m attending the 2007 BlogHer conference in Chicago; I was invited to participate in a focus group at the kindly invitation of Revolution Health. Yes, I am not staying overnight in Chicago—-I’m taking a 5.30am train to the Newark airport, |

| If you've been reading my blog for more than a year, I want to thank you. You may have noticed that it has gone through a significant change. For nearly three years I blogged nearly every single day here and only here - often several times in a 24-hour period. Back in 2004 I discovered blogging was my calling; something I love to do.
