What’s this?
I've got several blogs on this site, like my WP plugins blog and my course websites. I've also got a private blog for my friends and relatives to read that I'm not going to link to. :)
This blog is a place for random things that don't belong in any of those other blogs. Enjoy.

Check out Abstract Politics
, a new site dedicated to reviewing the latest in political science research. Dozens of new articles are published in every issue of the top journals. It’s hard to keep up with them. The creators of Abstract Politics intend to write brief summaries (and critical reviews) of each new article.
This has the potential to be very cool. These summaries can help us decide whether reading a particular article in its entirety is worthwhile. They can also provide a forum to debate the merits of each article (via each summary’s comment form).
You may already be familiar with WikiSummary
. WikiSummary is similar, but it is no longer accepting new submissions–these days, it’s merely an archive of old summaries. The creators of Abstract Politics are the same folks that were behind WikiSummary, but with a new approach and a new look.
Full disclosure: I happen to be a major player in running both WikiSummary and Abstract Politics. But that should only encourage your further to bother checking out (and contributing to) Abstract Politics
.
