Cognitive Daily, the blog, is one of the blogs that made science blogs (both in general and at scienceblogs.com) a legitimate, valid enterprise instead of a bunch of random jackasses screwing around on the Internet. Like a nice hat on a man who could be part scoundrel or a great pair of shoes on a woman with ill intention, Cognitive Daily made the rest of us look ... valid. Like we shouldn't be taken off the air. Like we had a reason to call ourselves important.
But Cognitive Daily is now gone. Greta and Dave wrote their last post today, just a few minutes ago.
Crap. Now what are we going to do? And you think I'm joking but I'm not.
WTF. Go say good-bye.
What are we going to do? We're going to trundle on over to WordMunger.com and sign up there.
At least, that's what I did.
My screensaver is the peer-reviewed scienceblogs RSS feed. I like it. However, the point that that blog will be missed is a good one.
