I will also be sending questionnaires to more people soon.<br />
Second, there are some responses now to the <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/02/123_the_goosedbook_meme.php" target="_blank" title="">1-2-3, the Goosed/Book meme</a>. First, <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2008/02/the_infamous_123_meme.php" target="_blank" title="">Chad Orzel</a> provides several interesting quotes.  And now Tom Levenson responded with not one but two elaborate, illustrated posts: <a href="http://inversesquare.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/ive-been-tagged-reading-and-writing-and-all-that-jazz/" target="_blank" title="">I&#8217;ve Been Tagged! Reading and writing and all that jazz.</a> and <a href="http://inversesquare.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/ive-been-tagged-darwin-follow-up/" target="_blank" title="">I&#8217;ve Been Tagged! &#8212; Darwin follow up.</a> <b>Update</b>: <a href="http://carbonnation.org/2008/02/29/tag-im-it.aspx" target="_blank" title="">Eric Roston</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/02/123_the_goosedbook_meme.php#comment-768647" target="_blank" title="">Jennifer Ouellette</a> did it, too. And <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/02/123_the_goosedbook_meme.php#comment-772772" target="_blank" title="">Vanessa</a> as well.<br />
I was also tagged by <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/authority/2008/02/historical_figure_meme_reading.php" target="_blank" title="">another meme</a>, about a historical figure, and once I picked the person I realized I first had to order and read a book!  So, this will take a fe wmore days.<br />
Third, I will reciprocate to <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/02/imitation_is_the_highest_form.php" target="_blank" title="">Arunn</a> and write a BPR3-style post soon.  I have a stack of printed-out papers as well as half a desktop covered with icons of PDF files of papers accumulated over the last six months or so that I want to comment on.  I&#8217;ll try to find some time very soon to do this.  Perhaps more than one.<br />
Finally, the conversation about <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/02/what_is_a_science_blog.php" target="_blank" title="">What is a Science Blog?</a> continues, so check out the posts by <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2008/02/and_the_wtf_of_the_week_award.php" target="_blank" title="">Greg Laden</a>, <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/mikethemadbiologist/2008/02/mad_biologist_slayer_of_bloggi.php" target="_blank" title="">Mike the Mad Biologist</a>, <a href="http://physioprof.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/babyblabbers-are-either-total-fucking-douchehounds-or-brilliant-heirs-of-milgram/" target="_blank" title="">PhysioProf</a> (and <a href="http://physioprof.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/babyblabber-update-maudlin-bloggers-need-to-sack-up/" target="_blank" title="">again</a>), <a href="http://johnhawks.net/weblog/2008/02/28#scienc-blogging-for-its-own-sake-2008" target="_blank" title="">John Hawks</a>, <a href="http://www.tuibguy.com/?p=562" target="_blank" title="">Mike Haubrich</a>, <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/gnxp/2008/02/science_blogs_what_are_they_go.php" target="_blank" title="">Razib</a>, <a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2008/02/science-bloggin.html" target="_blank" title="">~C4Chaos</a> and <a href="http://www.ethicalpalaeontologist.com/2008_02_01_archive.htm#4796524371710755525" target="_blank" title="">Julia </a>. <b>Update</b>: <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/2008/02/a_moment_of_navelgazing_about.php" target="_blank" title="">Janet Stemwedel</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/evolvingthoughts/2008/02/recursions.php" target="_blank" title="">John Wilkins</a> add their thoughts.
