The post on soft drink terms has elicited a great deal of response (on my other blog as well). Many people want a little more granularity; well, it was brought to my attention that Google Maps based survey is up. You can vote and increase the N.

A post up at Bayblab is causing a bit of a stir; ScienceBlogs.com is singled out as an incestuous conclave of hacks* where bloggers are paid substantial sums to turn out tabloid-quality science writing. Alright, maybe such a summary isn't entirely accurate, but the post by "Anonymous Coward" paints…
Apparently the poll traffic has crashed the chrismore.com server. I'll try again later.
All seems to be fine now! My host randomly will have issues with their database server due to a shared hosting setup.
The traffic didn't crash the server, but one of the other customers hangs the database connection for one reason or another.
Thanks for the post and I hope I can get some more votes!!
