Amazing Research Tool

Google just released Google Scholar, a web crawler that searches online academic journals and articles. Type in the name of a book or article you like, and it can pull up all the papers it can find that cite that work. (Example: here are the articles it can find that cite George Ainslie's Breakdown of Will). Very cool.

Links

Blakely, this is the COOLEST. Thanks for doing this. For my first post, I may as well inflict my web habit on you guys and offer up some hopefully unknown philosophy-related links. Warning: very naturalized. May not meet your standard of relevance to philosophy.
(Probably the two most prominent philosophy blogs.)

Water's Water Everywhere
(An especially excellent article on recent analytic philosophy by Jerry Fodor published in the LRB. Links to his other LRB articles are on the bottom-right of the page.)

Edge

Languagehat
(A great linguistics blog)

The Loom
(A science blog)

And finally, some assorted comics that are kind of about philosophy (NSFW, maybe? Bob the Angry Flower is done by a fellow Edmontonian):

I'll post some responses to Winston's and Daniel's posts later. Anyone else have any good philosophy links? Post them in the comments! (Winston, I don't think it's going to be much of a problem to conduct discussions in the comments sections. It's what is done at most other philosophy blog sites, and it seems to work out fine).
