Blog Carnivals
grrlscientist | July 24, 2008Here is an incomplete list of blog carnivals that have recently been published for your reading pleasure;
Carnival of the Vanities, the 24 July edition. This is the original blog carnival which served to showcase excellent writing in the blogosphere, and thus, it has no topic beyond that.
I and the Bird, issue number 80. This blog carnival focuses on bird watching and bird identification, although some of us tempt them to stray into other, more interesting ornithological topics with our contributions.
Carnival of Education, issue 181. This blog carnival focuses on issues and topics…
grrlscientist | July 21, 2008Here are a few blog carnivals that you should check out;
The 91st issue of The Skeptics Circle blog carnival, which deals with people's nonsense and those of us who write about it.
All Things Eco blog carnival, issue number nine. This blog carnival focuses on green living and learning how to fight global warming.

evolgen | May 4, 2008Kevin has posted the newest Circus of the Spineless at Deep See Nudes News. Go get your monthly fix of inverts.
terrasig | April 29, 2008Offer extended through Friday! Friday! Friday! 2 May!!!!Submit entries to tarheeltavern.abel at gmail.
For the first time since I've lived here, the NC primary will actually matter especially given that Clinton and Obama appear to now be running neck-and-neck in PA.
The Tar Heel Tavern was an early blog carnival, with contributions on numerous topics from the unusually dense NC blogging community. The first THT was hosted by Bora Zivkovic at his old blog, Science and Politics, back on 27 February 2005.
I've offered to resurrect the carnival in time for the NC primary with the topic, "What…
terrasig | April 22, 2008So says Dr Val Jones at Dr Val's Revolution Health Blog, host of this week's Grand Rounds medical blog carnival. The good doctor classified the posts as follows:
[:-)] = A post that demonstrates literary excellence
[{] = Early bird - an author who got his/her submission in early, which is really convenient for the host(ess)
[:-/] = Naughty - an author who forgot to submit an entry to Grand Rounds but who was included nonetheless
Hence, Val classifies me as naughty because she was kind enough to include my post, "Must people die before DSHEA is repealed?," even though I was so inconsiderate…

I know I am a little late with this, but the 26th March edition of the Carnival of Cities is now available for you to enjoy. They link to a piece that I was especially proud of, so be sure to go there and support the carnival!
grrlscientist | March 27, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Carnival of Australia
The 26 March edition of the Carnival of Australia blog carnival is now available for you to enjoy. They link to a Birdie story that I wrote even though, technically, New Zealand birds are not Australian (but they sure are closely related to the Aussie birds).
grrlscientist | March 27, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Just Write blog carnival
The 21st March edition of the Just Write blog carnival is now available for you to enjoy. They link to a piece that I wrote, so of course, I am a happy camper.
grrlscientist | March 27, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Bad Kitty Cat Festival of Chaos
The 37th edition of the Bad Kitty Cat Festival of Chaos is now available for you to enjoy. And, of course, they featured something I sent in, too!
grrlscientist | March 21, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Just Write Blog Carnival
The 21st of March edition of the Just Write Blog Carnival is now available for you to enjoy. There's lots here to read, so this should help you fill those extra hours of daylight that you have every day.
grrlscientist | March 11, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Carnival of Environmental Issues
The most recent edition of A Carnival of Environmental Issues is now available for you to enjoy. This is a new blog carnival for me. As its name suggests, it focuses on environmental issues. It is quite large, too, so go there and be prepared to learn more about how to live lightly on our planet.
grrlscientist | March 7, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Linnaeus' Legacy
The 5th edition of Linnaeus' Legacy is now available for you to enjoy. This is a new blog carnival that focuses on taxonomy and biodiversity and is published each month. Happily, it appears to be growing with each edition -- so be sure to go there and give the contributors some encouragement!
grrlscientist | March 4, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Mendel's Garden
The 24th edition of Mendel's Garden is now available for you to enjoy. I am surprised to see that this is probably the smallest Mendel's Garden I've ever seen -- what happened, my peeps?
grrlscientist | March 3, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Gene Genie
The most recent edition of the Gene Genie is now available for you to enjoy. I am pleased to tell you that they included a contribution from me, too!
grrlscientist | February 29, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Friday Ark
The most recent edition of the Carnival of the Spineless is now available for you to enjoy. The host, who is a pal of mine, asked me for a contribition, so I had to dig through my previous blog entries to find something that might be appropriate. I do what I can to support as many blog carnivals as possible, so you may or may not enjoy my meagre contributions ... you be the judge. But otherwise, do go there and support this blog carnival with your numbers and your comments!
grrlscientist | February 29, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Friday Ark
Yes, indeed, my friends, it is Friday once again, and as usual, my pal, The Modulator, has amassed a pile of links to ANIMAL IMAGES for you to enjoy in the 180th edition of the Friday Ark.
Did you know that this blog carnival began as a way to create a less contentious atomsphere on the internet, which had developed due to political sparring all week long, week after week? Anyway, in an effort to take a break from the fighting and to create a more congenial atmosphere, the political pundits began a campaign where they lowered their verbal armaments one day…
grrlscientist | February 28, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Writers from Across the Blogosphere
The February issue of Writers Across the Blogosphere is now available for you to read. This is probably the largest blog carnival that I contribute to, and it's likely the largest blog carnival out there, too -- and it celebrates good writing! And since having a high quality blog is all about writing well, how can you miss this one?
grrlscientist | February 27, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Horse Lovers' Blog Carnival
I had no idea that the Horse Lovers' Blog Carnival was still being published, but they just published their February issue of this blog carnival, so go over there to read what they've collected this past ... period of time.
grrlscientist | February 27, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Carnival of Cities
Okay, this is what you've all been waiting for, the Carnival of Cities, where you can read about people's experiences with either visiting or living in various cities around the world. So without further ado, I will let you tuck in!
North America
Gudrun and his family went on a quick vacation to San Diego, California over the school break. He includes his perspectives on Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Legoland as well as some hotel recommendations, should you wish to follow in his footsteps.

grrlscientist | February 23, 2008tags: blog carnivals, Carnival of Cities
I know you all are sitting around this evening bored, with nothing to do, so let me help you a little bit. I am hosting another blog carnival, the Carnival of Cities. This is a fun little blog carnival that is surprisingly popular. It focuses on any aspect of cities; where you currently live, where you once lived, where you visited. For example, have you ever visited or lived somewhere that you've absolutely enjoyed? What made that place so special to you? A special coffee shop, pub or restaurant? The city's proximity to wild places, the beach or…
