Here we go again

My token effort at New Year reorganisation is a change of blog theme (Garland - familiar to anyone who’s looked at a Drupal site). Others have made rather more of an effort.

After 10 internet-free days there was a lot of “mark as read” happening in my feed reader, but things that caught my eye include:

• Open Lab 2007 winners. The extended essay is not my preferred writing style, but I enjoy reading the work of others. A timely reminder that there is some really good science writing in the blogosphere.
• Userscripts for the Life Sciences (my CiteULike link) challenges us once again with the question: do Javascript browser plugins make for rigorous academic publications? The answer seems to be yes and congratulations to Egon and the team on their efforts.
• Join Stew at F & L for a week of open bioinformatics research: Open Notebook 1, Open Notebook 2, Open Notebook 3.
• Obligatory NY resolutions link: Re-evaluating Your Online Commitments.
• Facebook users with publications in Medline: there’s a Facebook app for you and it’s not bad.

What would I like to see this year? More bioinformatics that addresses interesting biological problems, less bioinformatics that doesn’t. Much more to write about this as the year progresses.

Happy New Year folks. Let’s get into it.
