it's hard to find new blogs before you do, if you never sleep? ;)

I'm quite fond of Unscrewing The Inscrutable.

I've got to say that your question seems very condescending. You seem to be thinking that the SEED consortium has a hammerlock on good science blogs. That's just not true.

In my opinion, there are several bloggers on my list (above) who are superior to most of the "science" bloggers on ScienceBlogs(TM).

Your opinion may differ. Who do you think are the best three science bloggers in the SEED group? The emphasis here is on science. How do they stack up against John Hawks, Ryan Gregory, and John Logsdon, in your opinion?

and you, OTOH, Larry seem very defensive and similarly condescending about science blogging. lol.

snarking aside, what are the essential characteristics of a "science" blog as you'd have it?

jesus larry, stop being a fucking mind reader. how could it sound condescending, you don't know my tone unless you see magic accent markers in you text that others do not. i don't read many blogs so i was looking for stuff for my RSS. and yes, some of specifically regret that we didn't snag gregory.... (i think john passed)

Philip Downey has already mentioned some of my favorites, apart from my #1 personal fave, the Guardian science podcast

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/podcast

I got excited when I saw the New Scientist in the list; I thought maybe they'd revived the podcast without telling me. Unfortunately, the last one on the page is from three months ago, when they discontinued it.

Googling science podcast will get you plenty more.

I aspire to one light, entertaining, science podcast I enjoy for each of my 10 commutes per week. Not quite there yet.
