Outrageous.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/brahms.phy.vanderbilt.edu\/~rknop\/blog\/\">Galactic Interactions<\/a> is by occasional CV commenter Rob Knop.  Articles about tenure and funding are must-reading.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bradhoc.blogspot.com\/\">Brad Hoc<\/a> is not entirely serious, but still he should post more.  He&#8217;s single ladies!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just a small sample of relatively new blogs that I happened to have noticed.  As of this moment, Cosmic Variance is arguably the largest physics-oriented blog on the web.  But the idea is just catching on, and I wouldn&#8217;t be at all surprised if we were overtaken at some point sooner rather than later.  Which is great &#8212; let everyone do their thing, and the quality stuff will bubble to the top.<\/p>\n<p>If you have your own science-type blog that you&#8217;d like to plug, or know of some good ones that deserve wider recognition, consider this thread the place to be shameless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some new-ish physics-y blogs that you might not know about, but are worth checking out.
