I do look at most of the links I get sent, but I end up posting very few of them. Not because I dislike what I see, but because I just don&#8217;t have the time or energy to thoroughly research the links. I don&#8217;t want to inadvertently endorse any kooks or cranks by linking to them (and I get a good number of those, too), and I tend to err very much on the side of caution. <\/p>\n<p>Which means that a fair number of worthy or interesting sites go un-linked. To give you an example of the sorts of things I get, here are two that arrived this week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiked-online.com\/index.php?\/debates\/C99\">debate about energy from spiked<\/a>. Most of the participants are affiliated with institutions in the UK, and I&#8217;m sure that would be very informative if I were British. As it is, all I can say is that there are some interesting articles there.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/edugree.com\/\">Edugree.com<\/a>, a site which is devoted to providing employment and education information, with sample resumes, job-seeking tips, and the like. I&#8217;ve only skimmed the site, but the advice they give looks fairly reasonable at a quick glance, though as a career academic, I really don&#8217;t know from business jobs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway, I do feel a little bad about blowing off so many earnest attempts to gain more recognition, so I&#8217;ll steal an idea from Senor BaconCat, and declare an Open Pimping Thread. If you&#8217;ve got a website, book, album, or other work that you&#8217;d like to promote (your own or others&#8217;), leave a link in the comments. It doesn&#8217;t have to have anything to do with physics, or even science&#8211; if you&#8217;ve got something to promote, here&#8217;s the thread to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get a fair number of emails from people who have blogs or other web stuff that they would like to advertise.
