The Tangled Bank

This entry was posted in Biology Health Care Science on by

Interested in biology, natural schience or medicine? Then take a look at The Tangled Bank. From PZ Myers’ introduction:

In cooperation with several other of us geeky science types, I am pleased to announce our own version of the “Carnival of the Vanities”….
Two things will distinguish us from the original “Carnival of the Vanities”: 1) we are specifically restricting ourselves to articles in the field of science and medicine, very broadly defined, and 2) we’ve got a different name.

PZ Meyers is hosting the first edition at Pharyngula.

Pricing Gas

Via Scott here is a map of gasoline prices populated with blogger provided info. I note that the price recently posted for Houston is only $1.60/gallon.
I often use gasbuddy to find a low price. Their Houston page shows someone paying 1.55/Gal as recently as last night.
Last week in Canada I paid $0.855(Can)/Liter which works out to about $2.36(US)/gal at the then current exchange rate. I made sure I arrived back in the states with a near empty tank so I could pay $1.989(US)/gal and was quite happy.
