Since Blake won't promote himself, I'll do it: I check his Science After Sunclipse every day!

Well, don’t I feel foolish! I blame teh HST proposals for sucking out my brain.

AstroDyke, you have been on the blogroll forever. Under “physics blogs”, but we could move you to “general” if you prefer.

Looking forward to reading all the others that were mentioned.

Could I have a blogroll shout-out?

More shameless self-promotion:

I just started this blog recently. It focuses on the popular representations of science.

Thanks for the good stuff,

You're welcome. I figure those of us who survived 8.09 together ought to stick by each other, right? I've also been enjoying Skulls in the Stars, which is written by an assistant professor of physics from somewhere who specializes in optics.

My friend Ben Allen is a math person, rather than a physics person, but his Plektix is off to an interesting start. And hey, the name was coined by Murray Gell-Mann — that makes it physics-related, right?

Ok, I'll shamelessly promote my new metaphysics blog. (ducking and running...)

Rather than promoting myself, I'll promote Mollishka.

Shameless self-promotion: I've just started my own blog about politics, physics and music. It can be found at So far it's only in norwegian, but I plan to write in english when I write about world events.

Michael Bremner has a blog with a great regular "Weakly Abstract" column where he discusses recent papers in quantum information theory.

Not quite a blog,

but many of my comics were dreamed up in lectures so physics students might relate to some of them.

Thanks for the tips, Sean. The Inverse Square Blog is particularly fun to peruse due to the variety of art illustrations from various times and places, as well as the cogent and witty commentary on broader issues. As a guy who studied some physical science but also philosophy (including phil sci), sociology/anthropology, policy, and traveled, etc., I enjoy digging into this material as much as I do posts on dark energy etc. BTW, check out my own humble little blog (left fallow too long) for a post explaining why the inverse square law is indeed special, not just an artifact of three-dimensional space.
