Old hands at the usenet group talk.origins will recall Chris Nedin well — and now he has entered the blogosphere with his brand new blog, Ediacaran, a blog about paleontology and all the other things that waft through the mind of a science geek. Go say hello!
(via another TO alumnus, Wilkins)
Yeah, but how can he be trusted?
Welcome, Ediacaran!
Speaking of T.O., when are you coming to Toronto and do you and Skatje want a ride from the airport?
Pls notify Mssr. Nedin that there seems to be a glitch in his blog’s software. My attempt to submit a comment was blocked by a request to key in a verification string (quite routine in itself) – but no verification letters were displayed…
Just what has happened to TO? I used to eagerly look forward to reading the “letters to the editors” section, but alas that seems to be long dead.
I haven’t seen any sign of life there for around 2 years now.

Fixed (I hope) – unless your comments weren’t complimentary, in which case it’s still broken!
Thanks for the link PZ. It seems old TOers never die, they just block up the blogosphere . . .
Alas, Mssr. Nedin, my (non-uncomplimentary*) remarks still can’t get through. No spamblocker barrier this time – it’s just that clicking either “Post” or “Preview” yields results no different from “Reload” (using Firefox 3.0.3 under Mac OSX 10.4.11, fwltw).
*Unless a speculation about using dishonest election-rigging tactics as a counterstrategy to an inherently weak political position is considered equivalent to, say, disparaging your wardrobe?
Ah, yes, I remember it well. We were all named Chris back in the glory days of T.O. and the U. of E.
