A couple of new-to-me but good physics blogs to point out this week:
All That Matters by Joerg Heber. This looks like it will be updated weekly-ish, and has a couple of good entries, including a nice write-up of an ultrafast laser experiment that I had flagged to write about before I got distracted by crazy people and lab porn this week.
The Dayside by charles Day of Physics Today. This has roughly daily updates, on a wide range of stuff.
Both of these cover physics beyond the default particle-physics-and-cosmology that you can find in dozens of places, and Day even has a post titled Why I Like Condensed Matter Physics. They're both good additions to your RSS reader.

It's not often that I find myself agreeing with the Incoherent Ponderer, but he's exactly right regarding Scientific American's
The big physics story of the day is bound to be this new report on American particle physics:
There's been lots of news from the AAS meeting in Seattle this week, but the best from my perspective is that high school physics enrollments have neevr been higher:
Sooooo beautiful. You must read what Pat has to say about APS's CSWP compiling a list of female-friendly physics departments. And follow the links therein.
Thanks so much for the recommendation, Chad! Indeed, I try to update the blog once or twice a week. I hope I can continue to write posts you find interesting
