I use the words basically interchangeably on this site. I know it’s confusing and I at least attempt to pick one and use it all the way through a post (often without success, which I’ll catch, and wince at, days later). The problem is that naturally I use one word or the other depending on [...]

So what do you all enjoy reading about?
I’ve got a couple of indirect ways of estimating changes in the number of subscribers to my RSS feed, and from my, very, VERY rough, estimates, it looks like it’s been increasing a lot faster than actual click-throughs to articles. Even if you read only one post and actually find a bit of science that excites you, I’ve done something completely worthwhile.
However, I did want to give everyone a chance, both new subscribers and regulars (has this site been around long enough to have regulars?) to let me know what kind of information drew you to this site, and/or what you’re interested in reading about.
There are so many things I’d love to write about but realistically I’ve only got time to write a couple of posts a day (being a grad student is actually a lot of work, and until recently I’ve always been the sort of person who needs to spend a couple of hours a day relaxing/decompressing/.) So if there’s anything in particular you’ve enjoyed reading about on this site, speak up!
That’s not a demand, it’s not even a request, just an open invitation.
The top two good keywords for this site are James and Corn!
Looks like the search engine is finally letting me put the annoying hacking of this site over the summer behind me.
Oops
If you’re seeing this, it means I stayed out to late doing important science (read: hanging out in Calvin) and didn’t write and schedule my nightly genetically engineered crop profile. Sorry folks.
Spam Wave
I’m getting hit by completely nonsensical spam comments (nothing that looks like words in any language, no working links) at a rate of close to one per minute. As a result I’ve had to reactivate my spam filter, the same one that was misbehaving earlier. If you’re comments aren’t showing up, drop an e-mail to jcs##@jamesandthegiantcorn.com (replacing the ## with the sum of 23 and 75).
Please let me know if you have any idea what might be causing this upswing.
