It’s that time of the year again, the time to complete the end of year blog meme. I’ve done this previously in 2008, 2007 & 2006. Rules are simple – post the first line of the first post for every month.

- New data on creationism in Britain. [ID and YEC in Britain]
- Last week I reported that AZ Game and Fish had recently captured, collared and released a jaguar for the first time. [Update on Southwestern Jaguars]
- A few weeks back, I updated you on the story of Macho B, the male jaguar that was captured in southeastern Arizona and subsequently euthanized due to apparent chronic kidney failure. [Macho B]
- Yet another defeat for the anti-evolutionists. [Di Proxies Defeated in Florida]

- On June 21st 1992 I saw Nirvana at the Point Depot in Dublin (with the Breeders & Teenage Fanclub). [In Bloom]
Creationism, carnivores, history of science and grunge.
Early in the year I set some goals, the majority of which were met. I also left Scienceblogs and set myself up here. Oh, and got promoted. Good year.
