Just finished the upgrade. There's some minor bugs that are going to have to stand for now. The important thing is we're mostly back to normal.

Just a brief note to let everyone know that Blog Against Theocracy 2009 is well under way. Blog Against Theocracy is a blog swarm that attempts to get as many people blogging as possible over the same three day period in support of church-state separation. Many great posts are to be found there.
Latest installment of the Carnival of Mathematics is out now at 360.
The annual Blog Against Theocracy will be coming to a blog near you April 10th - 12th, 2009. This will be the third time bloggers from all over have banned together to celebrate separation of church and state. Blue Gal has posted some information and resources for bloggers interested in participating in this year's Blog Against Theocracy. Hopefully we can count on all of you to raise awareness of our first freedom. Please note that this blogswarm is not for criticism of religion, but, as Tengrain from Mock, Paper, Scissors put it, "a reminder that the Government should keep out of religion, and Religion should keep out of the government." 'Nuff said.

Last months' edition is at The Questionable Authority and you can find the next edition on the 15th of March at The Evilutionary Biologist.
Barack Obama's campaign was the first Presidential campaign to truly embrace the internet. Now comes word that The Whitehouse has its own blog, complete with RSS feed. I'm sure the blog will be written by PR flacks, but at least this is a sign that the Obama administration is serious about taking the Presidency to the people. H/T: Lifehacker
