The clue is the banner above. Just wait till you hear who it is. The internet and DSN will never be the same again.
Craig McClain is the Executive Director of the Lousiana University Marine Consortium. He has conducted deep-sea research for 20 years and published over 50 papers in the area. He has participated in and led dozens of oceanographic expeditions taken him to the Antarctic and the most remote regions of the Pacific and Atlantic. Craig’s research focuses on how energy drives the biology of marine invertebrates from individuals to ecosystems, specifically, seeking to uncover how organisms are adapted to different levels of carbon availability, i.e. food, and how this determines the kinds and number of species in different parts of the oceans. Additionally, Craig is obsessed with the size of things. Sometimes this translated into actually scientific research. Craig’s research has been featured on National Public Radio, Discovery Channel, Fox News, National Geographic and ABC News. In addition to his scientific research, Craig also advocates the need for scientists to connect with the public and is the founder and chief editor of the acclaimed Deep-Sea News (http://deepseanews.com/), a popular ocean-themed blog that has won numerous awards. His writing has been featured in Cosmos, Science Illustrated, American Scientist, Wired, Mental Floss, and the Open Lab: The Best Science Writing on the Web.

You got an invisible co-blogger without a name? COOL!
Oh is it an isopod that took over your tongue and is know blogging?
PZ, of course.
O.K I know what it is:
The “Mood Blogger” you put your finger on that space and it changes color to suit your current or changing mood!
I tried it today and it worked, three of the posts changed to feature the green color my finger left behind.
Brilliant interface guys how did ya do it?
You’re not in Kansas any more? You got Dorothy?
It was a lucky guess! I swear, but it fits so perfectly. Do I win a prize?
Frank, I just figured you had mad ninja skills and were actually following me & Kevin & Craig around as we discussed this at Science Online. Kudos!
I would love to have been there, but didn’t make it this year. Next year!
Nice! I love when folks I like lots get together… DSN rocks!
And for the record, with Rick’s above mention, I’m happy to guest post here on sea cucumbers anytime ;)
