Also while I was away, Nature published its list of the top blogs by scientists. EvolutionBlog was listed in a tie for the twentieth spot, based on my Technorati rank (whatever that is). Cool. All such lists have to be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but it's always nice to be noticed.
It was also nice to see The Panda's Thumb, to which I am proud to contribute, ranked second. P. Z. Myers earned a well-deserved spot at the top of the list. And congratulations to all the other SB'ers on the list.

Another list for your reading, gift giving and collection development pleasure. This list is the Holiday Reading list from the Toronto Star Public Policy Forum, picked from individual lists in today's print newspaper.
I wasn't really sure of quite how to start this off. I finally decided to just dive right in with a simple function definition, and then give you a bit of a tour of how Haskell works by showing the different ways of implementing it.
Along with tacky an inescapable Christmas music, December brings lists, as every publication that deals with music at all puts out their own compilation of songs or albums of the year.
Humans readily establish false memories. If you give adults a study list of words like hot, snow, warm, winter, ice, wet, chilly, weather, heat, freeze, shiver, frost, and then test them later, they will "remember" related words like cold that weren't actually on the list.
Among other things, they have a funny definition of "science blog" - neither Bad Astronomy nor Language Log made the list, and Langauge Log would have ranked second (behind the mighty unstoppable juggernaut of Pharyngula).
But congrats anyway!
