I would just like to introduce a "friend whom I have never met", Cosma Shalizi, imho one of the best bloggers out there. His professional home is the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at UM; his "Three Toed Sloth: Slow Takes from the Canopy of the Reality-Based Community" is a treasure trove of good writing, good science, and good (often trenchant) humour. Just the titles of his mini-essays are a delight to scan, and a wander through one of his many topic collections always leaves me thinking, "Gee, I wish I could write like that." Than which there is no higher compliment among the scribbling classes :-)
