This prompted Ed Yong to comment:
I hear that the drunk guy in the park with a traffic cone is launching his own science blogging network...
Today, I am that drunk guy in the park with a traffic cone.
- 2 September: The SciZen blog network launches!
It’s a small network, consisting of three blogs for now:
- NeuroDojo: The blog you’re reading now. Brains, behaviour, and evolution are favourite topics.
- Better Posters: A blog devoted to the elimination of ugly posters at science conferences.
- Marmorkrebs: A bit of a niche blog, covering the remarkable marbled crayfish.
Some of you might say, “But Zen! That’s not a network – those are all just blogs you’re already writing!”
Yeah, well, sort of.
Okay, precisely.
You can’t blame an independent boy for trying to get a little attention in the days of Borg blogging, now, can you?
I'm so glad someone made the Borg reference. It's been bouncing around in my head for a long time, but I could just never find a good fit for appropriate use :)

Great idea! Looking forward to you developing even more blogs and disagreeing with yourself.
