The <a href="http://wiki.scienceblogging.com/scienceblogging/" target="_blank" title="">wiki</a> is looking good, the <a href="http://wiki.scienceblogging.com/scienceblogging/show/Conference+Program+08" target="_blank" title="">Program</a> is shaping up nicely, and there is more and more <a href="http://wiki.scienceblogging.com/scienceblogging/show/Blog+and+Media+Coverage" target="_blank" title="">blog and media coverage</a> already.  There are already <a href="http://mistersugar.wufoo.com/reports/science-blogging-08/" target="_blank" title="">91 registered participants</a> and if you do not <a href="http://wiki.scienceblogging.com/scienceblogging/show/Register" target="_blank" title="">register</a> soon, it may be too late once you decide to do so (we&#8217;ll cap at about 230).  Between now and the conference, I am <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/sbcnc08/" target="_blank" title="">highlighting some of the people</a> who will be there, for you to meet in person if you register in time.<br />
