agreed! RT @MorganWebb: Just so you know, Radiolab is the best podcast on the Internet. There are no arguments. It is a fact.

Thanks @BrainCatalog, first time to be recommended for #followfriday

#housnow really coming down now at @Rice-went from nothing to almost a .5in of snow in 15 mins. Can't see the med center from my window

Having 2 monitors is great when you can concentrate, but terrible when it allows for double the distraction...like now

@aechase but I think there's a similar plugin for safari - I'll take a look around. Mainly bugs me that those ads are there at all

@digsby I'm not, and the problem was sporadic - haven't tried today, using a mac right now. Kept getting "send tweet failed" message 5-10x

@aechase yes, I seem to remember seeing somewhere that google adsense has some pretty high click-through rates because of this

@aechase yeah, I've heard good things about that. Right now, though, I use safari on mac, though I'll probably switch back to firefox soon

I'm still not happy about @seedmagazine going online-only, their print edition was one of the most beautiful magazines I've read

Nice list of top films of the 00's, from The AV Club http://www.avclub.com/article... I've only seen maybe 15 of these, but no Lost in Translation? Really?

I don't use adblock to support the sites I like - but I *DON'T* like non-closable full-page flash ads (I'm talking to you, @newscientist)

I get the feeling all this #HM slicing stuff would have been more exciting had the folks at UCSD used twitter for running commentary

@weetotyfing Those are pretty sweet, but they don't go to my phone. I missed the lesion last night because I had class til 11:30, then sleep

snowflakes are getting larger and falling more steadily, though nothing is sticking. Third floor view of snow falling is quite nice #housnow

At the Houston Ginger Man, celebrating the successful PhD completion of a good friend, then visiting a cocktail party @ univ pres's house

@drugmonkeyblog (I ask about NIMH because it appears that the Brain Observatory is funded by Dana, NSF, NIMH and NEI, but #HM by NSF & Dana)

@drugmonkeyblog ...the kind of work that is more often found in Nature, Science, etc. Sorry, probably not making much sense here... #HM

I really love how open the Brain Observatory's #HM slicing is - free live streaming of science is fantastic, but what about publication?

It would be a wonderful boon to OpenAccess if the UCSD team chose to publish all new #HM results in @plos, or at least w/ OA permissions

@drugmonkeyblog I wouldn't say there's anything wrong w/ that, as I understand it. Is NIMH under a pubmed central obligation too? #HM

@drugmonkeyblog I was singling out @plos to increase their exposure as a realistic platform for publishing important, top-tier work #HM

@digsby has been having trouble sending tweets the past few days - takes several attempts before I can successfully post

@evernote 3.5 for windows is quite nice - brings every bit of the mac polish, and adds support for ink notes (missing, I think, in mac)

@drugmonkeyblog science needs to do this more - one of my favorite things from the summer of 2008 was watching @marsphoenix land live

Does anyone know of somewhere that describes the process of the HM dissection? Surely a beginner question, but never seen this before

@connexon360 I'm most confused by why it looks so much like the researcher is 'wiping off' the blade - doesn't that contain the cortex?

the suspense of the HM dissection is killing me...
