New-ish Blog, Small World

I'm cleaning out some old saved items from my RSS feeds, to prepare for some changes at ScienceBlogs, and one of the items I had marked but never done anything with was an announcement of the launch of Correlations, a group blog from Wired Science and PBS. It suffers a bit from the Wired aesthetic of posterizing photographs so as to make them unrecognizable, but at least it's black text on a white background, so PBS has had some moderating influence.

They've got a good collection of science bloggers, including Clifford Johnson of Asymptotia and ScienceBlogs' own Tara Smith and Sheril Kirshenbaum. There are also some production people from the tv show "Wired Science," including Damon Gambuto, a writer for the show.

I can't be sure, because of the posterizing thing mentioned above, but I think I played rugby with him in college. The picture sort of looks like him (at least, it's a guy of about the right age), but there aren't many biographical details available. There can't be a lot of people out there with that combination of names, though, so I think it's the same guy. Weird.

Anyway, there's some interesting stuff on the blog, so check it out.
