Yesterday was National Break from Blog Comments Day…Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’ve written some pretty controversial stuff lately, and this elicits a lot of caring and interesting advice from some of my caring friends who read. It also elicits some vile vitriol from some of my less caring readers. Yesterday, I took a break from comments. I just didn’t read, but listened with interest as the “You’ve Got Mail!” messages occurred throughout the day. I did read all the comments this morning when I was in a better frame of mind to let them all soak in so to speak. It always fascinates me what others think of me or what advice they give. I do appreciate it ver...

My adopted alter ego may be nothing but a computer played by a box of colored blinking lights, but those few who are actually familiar with the 30 year old British SF TV show that featured Orac beginning in the last episode of its first season know that Orac is an arrogant and vain computer. Given that, how could I fail to notice a couple of accolades that came my way last week. First off, on Friday, Respectful Insolence was included in a list of top skeptical blogs, along with Science-Based Medicine, NeuroLogica Blog (which Steve Novella informs me is down due to excess traffic and a really idiotic ISP that just shut him...

Facebook Continues to Dominate Among YouthEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Last week, we discovered that 4 out of 5 teens prefer and use Facebook over the leading sugarless gum. Oh, sorry, I meant to say that while 7 out of 10 (73% to be exact) teens use social networking websites like Facebook, only 1 in 12 teens use Twitter. Clearly, the still-in-place-to-be is on Facebook and other social networking websites like it. The new data comes from our friends over at the Pew Internet and American Life Project, who conducted a phone survey in the middle of last year of 800 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17. And while teens continue to embrace social networking, they seem to be abandoning the...

For nearly five years, I have been documenting my life with diabetes. Not each entry has been directly about the illness, but this is my life and diabetes is in it and in everything I do, diabetes is there. For the past couple of months, I have become a more active member of the twentysomething blogger community, going so far as to join the administration team at the Ning network 20sb as an Events Manager. It’s exciting to meet new people and hear stories of other twentysomethings who are going through similar struggles.

I've mentioned before that one of the advantages of the Internet is its diversity, which has the salutary effect of correcting misconceptions and prejudiced statements almost as soon as they occur. When someone posts biased or incorrect information about a group of people, it's highly likely that one or more readers will set the record straight.But sometimes such comments can get rather incongruous. In response to my last two posts, a few people seemed to think (1) that I might be prejudiced against poor whites, Southern whites, and/or hillbillies because I used dialect in describing small-town ignorant attitudes, and (2) ...

So we'll post there or cross-post both there and on our own blogs, throughout the meeting and beyond. I already cross-posted a few (some are up, others are scheduled to show up later), so all the important information is there. But I expect a lot of my SciBlings to add their posts to this blog as well. Read the comments on this post... (Source: A Blog Around The Clock)

Go say Hello to Christina Agapakis, a synthetis biology blogger on Oscillator (also check out the archives of her old blog to see more what it is all about). So, my blog is now not the only one here with a title that has something to do with oscillations.... Read the comments on this post... (Source: A Blog Around The Clock)

Busy Signal: Are Social Networks Interrupting Our Social Life?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Last night, I was checking out guilty pleasure, Julia Allison’s blog, and she had a quote on it that said: Are we moving away from being fully present and engaged because we are too busy broadcasting to the world that we are indeed leading an interesting life? It was linked to a column on Huffington Post written by Jasmine Boussem. As someone who has lived nearly half of her life on the Internet, and more than 5 years of that as a blogger, I of course wanted to check it out to find out what her take on the whole phenomenon of excessive connectivity meant to her. Her analysis is fairly spot on and her example of a din...

Drugs: They’re Not Big And They’re Not CleverEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A life coaching client and friend, Carl Harvey from Personal Development Planet, asked me to read his blog recently to see what I thought. After checking out a few posts, I responded that it didn’t ‘sound’ like him at all and I was a tad disappointed. Carl is a bubbly, irreverent, fun guy a bit like a (very) junior version of me, but I didn’t get any of that from his writing. Not that there was anything wrong with it, far from it, it was fine. Just that it seemed to me it could have been written by almost any one of the 1.6 million self-development blogger wannabes out there. I have no idea whether there is a rec...

Will Isabella Become a Vampire?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I finished reading book three of the Twilight series this afternoon. Each book has been much the same with the first 3/4th’s of the book being vampire romance and character development and introspection. Each book concludes with a grand and sweeping action sequence of vampire fights. I can see why guys just weren’t captivated by these books. They are incredibly slow and filled with romance. That said, there is something endearing about them. I can almost find myself falling in love with Edward, the central vampire in the book and Bella’s lover. He is so appealing. ...

A new bloggie friend, Hannah Katy, has given me the award of Over The Top! I’m assuming that’s Over The Top in a good way, and not a bad way. Anyway, I very much appreciate the kind words she wrote about me and am happy to accept it. But with that comes certain obligations… which include filling out this survey and then passing along the award to 3 more wonderful folks. Hope you enjoy! Part 1: Answer questions with one word: 1.

New project for all doctors in 2010: Start on Twitter, continue on Blogger and make an impactEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A few thoughts from my Twitter account: A suggested new project for all doctors in 2010: 1. Start on Twitter (microblog). 2. Continue on Blogger/WordPress. 3. Make an impact. Improve the quality of online health information and tell the public your side of the story. In addition, although some people enjoy ridiculing blogs as low-quality content, they offer a great start for would-be writers. Several bloggers that I follow are planning to write books in 2010 based on their blog posts from 2009. There is so much talent out there. Blogging is a good way to keep track of interesting development and medical news. Twitter i...
