I’m glad to see the move because the filters here at work block scienceblogs. No knock on scienceblogs - my favourite blog is there, Darren Naish’s Tetrapod Zoology.

Ha! You can’t escape me this easily, Carl!

Congratulations on the new endeavors and new incarnations. It was a few early exchanges on The Loom that led to what’s now turned into several years of slogging in the Evo-Creo trenches — frustrating, revealing, educational, and amusing years.

Thanks so much, and all the best!

Umm, OK, it’s perhaps not quite as cool as the Simonyi Chair. But still pretty cool!

Oh, and by the way: your punishment for that dreadful pun (”discovered a new element”, indeed!) needs to be severe.

Carl,
Much success in your new venue. I always thought that “The Loom” was by far the best Science blog (even though PZ was given the award).
I look forward to your discussions on the brain especially the origins of conscious awareness and the evolution of its transcendent reality.

I cannot figure out the RSS feed for your new blog, only feeds fror various sections of all of Discover.

How do I subscribe only to the Loom?

A happy return, Carl.

It is amazing how many folks Discover has sent into the science writing world over the years (thanks, folks — it’s been a good ride so far); it is a pleasure that the old book has life in it yet.

Time to update the blogroll, I guess.

best, Tom

Slick move on account of Discover. We will (continue to) enjoy picking your brain, perhaps more so then it isn’t all afflicted by creepy crawly parasites.

Hi Carl,

It’s cool that you are back at Discover, and I am glad that you mentioned the exacto paste-up.

I think that you should celebrate by posting your Camden ice age story.

Carl,

Congratulations on the new home! The Loom looks better than ever! I

W. Kevin Vicklund,

Yes, I am still going to be sending a post for Carl. It is just taking longer than I had expected because there is so much that I feel should be covered, and it is taking time to pull everything together into something coherent and readable.

Well, I hate to see you leave ScienceBlogs, but this seems like a great move for you. I thoroughly enjoyed your Guide to Human Origins, and have been equally impressed with your 1337 science-blogging skillz. I also owe you a debt that can never be paid for pointing me in the general direction of PZ Myers. Rest assured, that while I usually only bring myself to post in PZ’s circus (and then only occasionally) I will be lurking here.

Science groupies FTW!
