Of Note

I'm breaking form a bit today because I think this is a relevant announcement. For a while I've been keeping tabs on a new project, The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), which is an online effort to catalog with scientific review every living thing. Quite an ambitious effort. I encourage everyone to check out the website, but keep in mind it is in the very early stages. Why I am writing about this today is they have just launched their Flickr site where anyone can post their own species pictures. This is the first step in opening the EOL up to public contributions.
