Technorati tracks about 22 million blogs, and the 700,000 new posts typed into the internets every day. That sounds like a lot, but I'm sure there are at least a few more blogs that Technorati doesn't know about. Admittedly, many of these blogs are not worth one single mouse click. Many others, however, are written by smart, insightful, articulate bloggers with really interesting and helpful points of view. Given this enormous number of blogs and posts, it seems like I'd come across blogs that I like and that capture my attention quite regularly, but it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. Today, via a random and unrelated cirumstance, I was directed to a blog that belongs to the interesting category: Rubicon, written by Robert Silvey. He's a lefty science fan like some folks around here...but more articulate.

UPDATE: Robert has written a very nice contemporaneous-historical piece in observation of World AIDS Day.
