A dramatic explosion and electrical fire somewhere in Texas took Interfluidity down for much of the weekend. (Thank goodness no one was hurt, and all things considered both The Planet and American Powerblogs have done a pretty good job managing the outage.)

The post that follows this one will be less timely than I'd like. It was intended for publication Saturday. Oh well.

I don't usually do link posts, but while I'm here I thought I'd call your attention to John Phipps on China and Gabriel Mihalache on models.
