		<title>On moving on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Nature Network shafted me and a few others over our blogs there (they locked us out without warning, meaning we couldn&#8217;t make a a graceful transition), I launched a new blog network, called Occam&#8217;s Typewriter.
All my &#8217;serious&#8217; and &#8216;not-so-serious&#8217; blogging will henceforth be at Confessions of a (former) Lab Rat,  http://occamstypewriter.org/rpg.

		<title>I spy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I worked for the security services, I might be a bit worried about Wikileaks. But only briefly.
You see, what I would do is release some information to them: a good mix of real intel (that, despite its appearance, wouldn&#8217;t hurt that much), some stuff we know everybody knows already, and some made-up junk.
I mean, [...]]]></description>

The trick now is to photograph the Street View car and match it up with the photo it takes of you. 
You may remember that last summer I was strolling along [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open letter to Simon Hughes, MP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Simon
Thank you for signing Early Day Motion 767. This implies you support continued (if not increased) public funding of scientific research, along with many of your colleagues in the Coalition. Today we learned that your science funding has been ring-fenced for the next four years. While I am happy that science funding has not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lost at sea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I might be permitted an observation, there is something wrong when, in a forum expressly for the purpose of bug reports and feedback, a user&#8217;s perfectly valid comments are dismissed out of hand.
It&#8217;s bad enough when an unaffiliated Nature staffer who does not have an active blog on Nature Network (and yet maintains a [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Web 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from http://blogs.nature.com/rpg/2010/09/05/on-web-20, for ease of commenting)
As promised yesterday, I&#8217;m going to write down my notes from Saturday&#8217;s final panel session of Science Online London 2010. But first, I want to say a couple of things about the Research Information Network report that Rob Procter discussed, If you build it, will they come? How researchers [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be writing up my speaker notes for the final panel tomorrow, I hope, but in the meantime I&#8217;ve just been challenged by Ruth Seeley on twitter to explain the scientific [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talking of stroking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that I&#8217;m currently somewhat vexed by The Borg, I mean Nature Network. Kristi made an insightful comment on my latest:

@ Cath: We need a good collective noun for blogs. A navelgaze?
I suggest a &#8220;stroke&#8221; of blogs, which could refer to genius, insight, lightning, ego, or &#8230; other things. In some cases I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Où sont les science blogs d&#8217; antan?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, just as an intellectual exercise, if I were to set up a community of like-minded bloggers, how to best go about it?
I envisage something like
http://example.com/ &#8211; aggregation page for blogs, recent content from fora
http://example.com/forum
http://example.com/blogger1
http://example.com/blogger2
etc.
OR
http://forum.example.com
http://blogger1.example.com
http://blogger2.example.com
Will the multiple user thing that Wordpress do that? Or would I need separate WP installs, or Drupal, or what?
Let&#8217;s assume [...]]]></description>

		<title>On coupling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, not that sort of coupling.
I was writing up today&#8217;s Faculty Dailies, catching up on (yet) another paper about how ribosomes control the rate of transcription.
As has been known for decades, bacterial transcription and translation are tightly coupled. What&#8217;s interesting about the recent work is that the presence/processivity of the ribosome appears to feedback on [...]]]></description>

It might even have been something to do with cancer. The writer was saying that she (pretty certain it [...]]]></description>

The traditional way of doing this is on film, but it seems a lot quicker, safer and environmentally-friendlier to do it with one of the imaging gizmos.

Except I&#8217;m a little bit worried. I was reading [...]]]></description>

This tweet:
Dangerous advice. Fever of +105F go to the ER! RT @homeopathyworks: Hot baby, less is better for your Children&#8217;s fevers http://om.ly/jgzJ
