Science In Real Life 2: Electric Boogaloo
So as some of you might have noticed, I've not exactly been on the ball about these Science In Real Life essays lately. No more, I say! For I have verily and with much fanfare, heretofore and henceforth, kicked it up a notch:

BAM! Behold, the official fancypants-type blog is now up and running. Has been for a few days now, in fact. Consider yourself privileged if I gave you advance notice over the weekend.
So, here's the plan. I will continue posting Science In Real Life essays over here, sort of. What I'm going to do is use a very cunning fake-cut system whereby the post will resemble the previous ones but will in fact be a link to the Official Blog Post of Bloggingness. What's more, since I am starting at the beginning, the next two months or so will be repeat essays for those of you who have been following along here. Here's the first one:

I offer the following enticements for you to go ahead and click through to the blog anyway:
-It's been months since most of these were posted, and you might have forgotten some of the best turns of phrase or juiciest metaphors.
-I will be making changes to each essay before I post it, some in the name of improved grammar, some in the name of divorcing it from references to being posted at a particular time, but all in the name of improved clarity and readability. Think of it like the remastered Star Trek TOS episodes - all the same great stuff, plus shiny new effects.
-In addition to the essays, I have introduced a brand spankin' new feature: Science Facts of the Day, posted every day at noon, rain or shine. Bite-sized science morsels to augment your lunch break.
So there you have it. Go forth, and read my blog!
By the way, on day one my blog had 17 views. On day three, 37. That's more than doubling in two days, so by my calculations the entire population of planet Earth will be reading my blog within two months. Resistance is futile.
