Verwirrung Blog roundtable discussion

shouldnt an MRI scan be much sharper than that? I always thought they have really high resolution.

Its a magic tube that takes pictures of your inside without cutting you open, what the hell else do you want?

If I ever find them, I'll scan the ones from the first time I did this, they are much much sharper, though there are far less of them.

Friday blag has ben blagged.

If anyone has trouble following my posts, let me know. I try to linkify as much as possible so even the layperson can understand, but keep it otherwise technical so I can delve deeper into some of this stuff.

I'll also not be making the mistakes that SciAm makes. 

[LMNO]

Delve brother, delve. I'm taking it like GEB. If I don't understand, that's all on me to figure it out.

Ok, so the new approach has been in place for a couple of weeks, and I like the way it's going.  There's a lot of good information pumping.

Any word on getting fresh eyes to the site?

[Iason Ouabache]

A good way to draw traffic is to get links on the big news aggregator sites: Fark, Digg, Disinfo, etc.  The best way to do that is by having good original content which we've been doing a good job of so far. 

We also need to similar blogs to ours so that we can leech readers off of share links back and forth with. I have no idea who would be a good candidate for that since Verwirrung doesn't really fit into any genre right now.

Yeah.  I've managed to get a few via the XKCD forums, because I have the link in my sig.  However, I think also going via sites like Warren Ellis' place, and places like Grinding.be, Boing Boing and just commenting occasionally, with a link to the blog via your profile, could do a lot.

Readership wise could we reach into other social - blog arenas?  I'm thinking of getting back into the LJ - type scene as a venue for some of my more half - assed /  kitchen sink stuff, and will link like - minded assholes back to Verwirrung.  It'd be more limited number wise passing it out there, but more targeted too.

Article wise, I've been liking what's going on. 
If anyone has feedback, (bad, ugly, or glaring errors), I'd rather hear it from folks here first.  I will return the favor when I see something I think needs mentioning.

In case you were wondering, the 'Seeing is Believing' section hasn't been updated in a while becuase my new interblag filters at work prevent me from seeing blogs and such; as a result, I am now forced to update from my home computer, where I have much less time to do such things.

Apologies, but I will find a work-around.

[Richter]

I hammer out a LOT on lunch / breaks and send it to myself, then post from home.

Also,  I've got 3 sillier / more hypothetical CP's prepared for gradual release.  I'll try to save 1 or 2 for filling in mid - week slumps.

[LMNO]

Thing is, I've been getting a lot of my subject matter from sites that are now work-blocked.

I'll do what I can.
