What’s up there?

Hopefully coming back soon, though probably on an even less frequent basis. Real life business matters, after all… But before that, a commemoration. Sky is lightning hard everywhere here, it’s noisy like there’s a storm front moving, waving around, well not exactly like that but close.

 

Four Stone Hearth Blog Carnival

The Four Stone Hearth Blog Carnival, dealing with anthropology and other things human, can be read (44th edition) at Greg Laden’s blog. A wide range of topics, from adaptiveness of morning sickness in pregnant woman to Hip Hop linguistics, taking even a turn into the messes of conservapedia. Seems like there’s nothing as diverse as the [...]

COTS #36 & FOT #25

Up there at Gossamer Tapestry, Circus of the Spineless #36. Insect biased. Strongly insect biased… A side effect of summer coming by? Anyway, another well worth reading edition that you can enjoy there.
You may also go at Earth, Wind and Water, for Festival of the Trees #25. Just there.

Dear BGR readers, please have this late edition from June. The previous BGR (#5) was posted here at A Neotropical Savanna, and July’s edition (#7) will be hosted at A Blog Around The Clock. Now, there’s been plenty of plant things happening during June, and here it is:

BGR is coming soon, I promise

I sincerely apologize for having to delay the coming edition of Berry Go Round. It should be posted soon, say in a day or… three. You all know there’s some real world outside… Well, sometimes the real world is also inside. Anyway, the real world is real, no matter what we think about it.

Berry Go Round coming soon, please send your submissions…

Berry Go Round #6 will be hosted here at Seeds Aside. Please send your submissions before June, the 25th…
Also, we’re still looking for blogs willing to host the BGR next october, november and further…

Bugs and Drugs 101

Cool title, isn’t it? It comes from the head of the page I’m just going to let you read a quote from in a moment. Remember who has the balls? I just discovered back this book, within a pile of manuscripts I’m lurking through (e.g. involving mating in clonal orchards -ah, pollen flows!). This book, [...]

How do seeds know what plant they are?

Huh?! Indeed. Can you imagine how the world would look like if seeds had no way knowing what to grow into? That’s even risky to try: you may grow as a tropical vine where you need to accomodate for a temperate climate!
Seriously. Have you, dear requester, ever heard of DNA? Yep, plants have DNA too.

More Calligraphy

Another interesting effect of google translation modules for Seeds Aside… I still wonder how good translations are. I made trials from English into French, and apart wordy puns, it seems to work rather well. But comparing between languages with close grammatical and structure descent connections is not the same as translation between more distant ones, [...]
