The Change, It Had To Come;

Just in case anyone has been using my link list to access PZ Myers Pharyngula blog I'll note that I've switched the link here to the new version on freethoughtblogs.com.  If you want to look at the old Scienceblogs version there are usually links on the new version when something is crossposted to both.

Well Whadaya Know...

...sometimes shameless whining (or to use a phrase I've used more than once, shameless hit mongering) does get the hit count up. (You'll have to find the actual whining yourself.) Of course I'm hoping the resulting visitors aren't the obsessives who've been drawn to Pharyngula by "Crackergate." It's ironic to see claims that PZ Myers is merely trying to attract attention with his actions over the past few days. After all his blog is one that regularly has posts that result in 200 hundred response threads. He gets plenty of attention already. In fact all the outraged folks are doing is helping to push the visibility of Pharyngula up, and presumably its already high ranking on sites like Technorati as well. Its one of the top 200 at Technorati in any case.

I'm Jealous.

PZ Myers makes a post about something that took place in his life and gets more than 1200 comments. Me, the most comments I've had to a post here is four. I suppose it would help if I posted more, and managed to piss off credulous anti-evolutionists as well. Oh well, maybe next post.
