Got some time, and jonesing for science and skepticism?
Then go to The 79th Skeptics Circle and The 39th Carnival of Space. There’s lots of cool stuff there, and maybe even some blog posts by some folks you know.
About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

That reminds me how I wish HBO would bring back Carnivàle.
Clancy Brown as a demonic religious man. Nick Stahl as a troubled messianic archetype. Carnival freaks. Wacky Dust Bowl era religiosity. Good times.
“The meek shall inhereit the earth. (derisive laughter) Can you imagine?” — Brother Justin Crowe from Carnivàle

Carnivalence, huh? From PZ I picked up Carnivalia, and I use that when posting carnivals regularly to del.icio.us, though even if you look for that keyword, you’ll see a huge gap as for a while I was just using reddit for a while and neglecting del.icio.us

Oh, I should’ve thought of this earlier.
Carnivalence, eh? Is that what you call it when carnies share freely?
