It is pretty amazing how much work I had to do over this weekend! And so much to post here over the next couple of days before I go off traveling to SC and NY and CT….

First, a question: is it possible for a WordPress blog to have both “Comment” and “Fact-check” buttons at the bottom of each post, commenting on each resulting in comments in different color, e.g., “comment” looking normal (e.g., white) and “fact-check” having a blue frame (or some other way to distinguish)?

I hope you did already, but if you didn’t, please go and vote for Christie Wilcox right now and right here.

Intensely busy week (obviously, or you’d see more stuff on this blog otherwise). Had lunches with some smart interesting people yesterday and today, though, which is always uplifting. Lots of travel next week. Till then, read these articles and posts:

Spent the day on the phone, running around, faxing and mailing stuff, first steps on the way to financial recovery, catching up with old debts, relapsed insurances, expired car-tags, etc… this will take months to afford to fix all!

Tomorrow night! The BlogTogether Birthday Bash – Oct 19, 2010 and The BlogTogether Birthday Bash – what a fantastic line-up! Reads like who’s'who of the local (and in some cases international) blogging world. And many will step up on the stage and tell their stories how blogging changed their lives. It’s free – you should join us. It will be great fun! Click through the links and register.

I’ll be on Dr.Kirsten Sanford’s science show Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour live on Twit.tv at 7EST/4PST, tune in in less than an hour.

The recording will be available tomorrow on their site and on YouTube.

Update: So, how was it for you? I love doing audio interviews (radio, podcasts), but having my face visible…. let’s say I am not yet as comfortable with it as I should be. So, was it OK?

Back home from NYC. Three full, busy, energizing days, working with an amazing group of people! Now trying to catch up, so these should keep you occupied in the meantime:

We had a great time last night at the #NYCscitweetup. A lot of good people showed up, including @brideyrevisited, @robinlloyd99, @NoahWG, @j_timmer, @LouWoodley, @anthinpractice, @genegeek, @virginiahughes, @nparmalee, @apoorva_nyc, @genomicslawyer, @arikia, @culturingsci, @cassierodenberg, @maiasz and @BoraZ. Now that I will be coming to NYC often, perhaps that can be used as an excuse to make these kinds of meetups a regular feature.

And now, to today’s links:

This is posted at the SciAm office. Long, exhausting but exciting day yesterday. Real work start right about now….

#NYCscitweetup will meet at the Kilarney Rose http://www.killarneyrose.com/ at 7pm tonight. Join us if you can.

I will be in NYC next three days. Not sure if the hotel has free wifi (cannot and will not pay) so online access may be sporadic. The trip is mostly work, but we’ll also have fun on Tuesday night, at 7pm – follow #NYCscitweetup hashtag on Twitter as we still need to figure out the location. If you are there and have time, join us.

Got back from Chicago late last night, exhausted but energized by the Block By Block conference (blog, Twitter). Midway airport has no wifi. Technically, one can buy wifi, which means there is no wifi. And because they use a competitor, there is no way to use iPhone and At&T either. They don’t charge for water, power and use of bathrooms and other travelers’ essentials, so why charge for the equally essential wifi? Ugh.

But anyway, I was reading Brian Switek’s book instead, had great flights there and back, and generally had a blast.

Below the fold – some links for you:

Thank you all for the wonderful response to yesterday’s good news – here in the blog comments, on Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook, by e-mail and in person.

In the meantime, a lot of other people wrote interesting stuff online so I will not be remiss in my duty sending you out to all those great articles – under the fold:
