I've been tagged by a friend of mine from college who writes an addictive blog chronicling the restoration of her gorgeous arts and crafts-style home in Charleston, South Carolina. Modern, city girl that I've become, my heart still belongs to the simple style of 1920's American architecture -- just ask her page views.

SWhat Science Blogs Can’t Do
No cosmic law says that when you gaze into your navel, you have to like what you find. My thesis is that it’s not yet possible to get a science education from reading science blogs, and a major reason for this is because bloggers don’t have the incentive to write the kinds of posts which are necessary. Furthermore, when we think in terms of incentive and motivation, the limitations upon the effects of online science writing become disquietingly clear. The problem, phrased without too much exagBritish Embassy in China Eager To Locate You
I’ve just received the following press release release from the British Embassy in Beijing.
