The fifth Smarter than I will be hosted where it began, here at decorabilia. For those of you who haven't yet experienced it, here's how it works: instead of sending in your own work, which every other (great) carnival is for, you nominate the best posting in the last few weeks by someone else, especially if that someone else isn't getting her proper due.
To use PZ Myers' phrase, this promotes "more distributed linkage." As Timothy Sandefur writes, "Good idea—I’ve wondered why this hasn’t been the way before."
It's the easiest carnival to join, too. Just email a link or two (and a blurb, if you want) to
smarterthani AT hotmail DOT com
or, even easier, use this handy-dandy automatic form.
Entries are due Monday, May 30th by 5:00 p.m. PST, and will be published the following day.
We reserve the right to limit quantities. Batteries not included. No shirt, no shoes, no service. Floss daily.
