He&#8217;s working on a series of nice posts about liquid crystals <a href=\"http:\/\/metadatta.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/11\/electronic-liquid-crystals-part-i-a-digression-on-good-professors\/\">Part I<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/metadatta.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/11\/electronic-liquid-crystals-part-ii-another-digression-on-recent-work\/\">Part II<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/metadatta.wordpress.com\/2007\/01\/14\/electronic-liquid-crystals-part-iii-transport-anisotropy-in-two-dimensional-electron-gases\/\">Part III<\/a>) and it generally looks pretty interesting.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.muristan.net\/blog\/\">Remaining Eye<\/a>, at which a postdoc friend is keeping notes on papers of interest. Only a couple of articles so far, but it might be a good resource for keeping up with atomic physics, if he keeps it up. No pressure.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, one of the freaky things about technorati is that it sometimes picks up blogs that have barely even gotten started, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/decoherent.wordpress.com\/\">Decoherent Ramblings<\/a>, which has a whopping one post, dated yesterday, and a nice banner photo. It&#8217;s another undergraduate student blog, and I&#8217;ll be interested to see where it goes, or if linking this scares him off completely&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There are also <a href=\"http:\/\/mogmich.blogspot.com\/\">new links from more established blogs<\/a>, and the obligatory <a href=\"http:\/\/globalpioneering.com\/wp02\/experimental-alphysics\/\">links from crazy people<\/a>. Poking at Technorati is a great work-avoidance strategy, really.<\/p>\n<p>Though it&#8217;s only a few days since the official Open Pimping Thread, I&#8217;ll open this up to the pimping of blogs specifically: If you&#8217;re writing (or just know of) a blog that I ought to be reading, leave a link in the comments. I promise I&#8217;ll at least look at all the links that are left before, let&#8217;s say, midnight Wednesday (the 17th), and if I like what I see, I&#8217;ll link to it from here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I make a habit of checking my Technorati search results regularly, partly because I&#8217;m just vain enough to care that other people are linking to me (my rank is holding steady in the 8,000&#8217;s, but it hasn&#8217;t updated in a while), but mostly because it&#8217;s a good way to find new blogs, and there are&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/2007\/01\/15\/new-blogs\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New Blogs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"1","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links_dump","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
