Blogarithmicly #2
Welcome to blogarithmicly #2 -- the carnival where we try to locate single posts or post-series that provide extensive knowledge and linkage on single narrow topics. Here's our top posts for #2.
One of my favorite regular features is Hedwig the Owl's -- Living the Scientific Life -- Bird Roundup. Not only does she keep abreast of all the birds in the news, but in this particular issue she puts the spotlight on Katrina Relieffor Critters. I suppose a Rita Relief edition may be in the works. Here's the most recent edition.
Charlie’s Bird Blog has been hard on the case of media reports of pandemic Avian Flu. With his brother, he's out to show that the scare is not only overrated, but that wild birds may suffer illogical collateral damage. Check his stories and links here, here, and here. He also sends us to Dr. Martin for discussion and more links. You should also check out Mike Bergin at 10,000 Birds, who follows up with a plea for accuracy.
When i started blogarithmicly i thought i would try to not repeat topics over time, to at least find new angles. That was right as Katrina was making landfall. I chose Clicked as my linksource at the time, and it was a good choice as Will continued to update day after day through the storm and the chaotic aftermath. But now here were are and Katrina will be with us for a long time. So to keep us up-to-date (besides revisiting the earlier links posted on blogarithmicly #1) is Bora Zivkovic at Science & Politics with an astonishing array of links of just about everything you’d need to know or find in the form of more typical blogging – that is writing. Remember that this is also an ephemeral event and that some of these links will disappear more quickly than the usual web-half-life. Bora continues to follow-up with posts here, here, and a number of posts of his own comentary and others from the Yale List.
And now of course, we're under the threat of Hurricane Rita, which just surpassed Katrina in strength to become the third strongest recorded storm. In some quick looking i found this post from DailyKos which not only has us abreast of the storm from its potential path, but offers a look from another of the petroleum centers as to what can happen if the offshore industry is hit head on. I'm sure i'll have more Rita linkglobs to come in the next blogarithmicly. If Kos spreads the links onto other posts, i'll update here.

Tony - This looks like an interesting carnival idea,. It might help to announce the date for new editions in advance so that interested folks could submit posts more easily.
