clock | January 10, 2007Just a quick note on the current state of the anthology:
40 41 formatted files have arrived so far, six are on their way today, and four three more people have yet to respond (I may have to tap into the "reserve" posts if I do not hear from these four three today). The cover is done. The title is chosen. The PDF file is in the process of beeing built and looking pretty already.
I am writing the Preface right now. It has been suggested to me to utilize/cannibalize material from these two old posts for the Preface. Both are too long, but have some interesting stuff in them, so I will see…
clock | January 10, 2007We have just hit 150 registrants at the Science Blogging Conference!
We will not close the registration, though. You can (and should) register. There is room for some more people and there should be enough food for everyone. Only the swag is limited to 150. There may be a few people who will not show up, and a few of us local bloggers involved in the organization may forgo our swag bags in favor of visitors if needed. So don't worry about the 150-people limit and, if you can come, register for the conference today!

clock | January 9, 2007Janet reminds us that this is National Delurking Week 2007. So, all of you who come here and read and say nothing, click on that "0 comments" link here and type "Hello". Or more. Who are you? Why are you here? What do you like and dislike here? This is your chance to break the ice and start commenting here and on all other blogs you frequent.

Hey, what's this:
"Writes administrative posts and links to stuff around the net..."?!
Yup, I have been busy lately with the anthology and the conference, and prior to that with kids over the holidays and also trying to sneak in some Thesis-writing time, but there are months and months of serious posts that are far cry from 'administrative'. All those Clock Mondays, Personal Tuesdays, Science Wednesdays, Education Thursdays and Politics Fridays, and Friday Weird Sex Blogging, and the Clock Week, the Microbial Week, the Book Week...come on -…

clock | January 9, 2007Anton, Brian, Paul and I are now in daily (actually more than once a day) contact, putting together the last touches of the organization of the Science Blogging Conference. Only 9 days to go!
The teach-in session on the 18th is full. The Friday (19th) dinner is in my neighborhood at 7pm - there is a projector and a screen so we will browse and read blogs while eating and drinking. I need to know who is coming to that - e-mail Anton or edit the Dinner page on the wiki (for both Friday and Saturday dinners).
Check out the Program and if you can, make a small donation.
There are currently 143…
aardvarchaeology | January 9, 2007In the left-hand sidebar are two new buttons, one of which will, if pressed, mark Aardvarchaeology as one of your favourite blogs on Technorati. The other one will allow you to rate the blog with the Swedish service Bloggtoppen: yea verily, you can either pan it or praise it. Use them wisely, kids.

aardvarchaeology | January 8, 2007One of my blog entries from last spring has made it into a science blogging anthology (a "blook") edited by fellow Sber Coturnix! It'll soon be published as a paperback through Lulu.com. The chosen piece is about the Field-Archaeological Paradox, that is, the curious fact that it is far easier in Sweden to fund expensive excavations at poorly preserved and uninformative sites than at really cool ones.

clock | January 8, 2007I know you've all been waiting for this. Well, after two all-nighters, the deed is done. Under the fold is the final list of 50 posts that will be included in the anthology. There may be some small changes if some of the authors refuse (or never get back to me in the first place), but I have a couple of posts in reserve for such eventualities.
This was a heck of a job (and I hope I did better than Brownie...) to do. All science bloggers are my friends, and all the submitted posts were excellent. Cutting down from 218 down to 50 was a heart-wrenching, blood-sweat-and-tears kind of a job (…
clock | January 8, 2007Only 10 days left until the conference! You can imagine that Anton, Brian, Paul and I are in quite a frenzy over it, planning every last detail. Name tags? Name tags! Cups and napkins? Chauffering people between the airport, hotels, the conference and the dinners? Reserving the restaurant spaces. Printing the program. Oh, and the anthology!
So, go to the homepage and see how wonderfully the program has evolved, how many people (and what great diversity!) have signed up and, if you are coming, feel free to edit the wiki pages attached to each of the sessions - let's start the…
