Davegonetochina, a frequent commenter both here and at The Peking Duck has (re)started his own blog called Mutant Palm. Dave is one of the best writers and certainly one of sharpest historical minds in the Chinese blogosphere. That said, he has a wide range of interests beyond history and is always a good source for the quirky nugget of information spun into a larger essay that can birth new ideas and turn old ones upside down. The new site is only three posts old, but knowing Dave that number is likely to grow quickly in the near future. Check it out.
