Happy blogiversary to me, sort of...

Me and the cats

Me and the cats (Chase is the white one, Charlotte is the black one), taken one year ago.


It's October 18th, which means that I've been blogging about science for one year now. It all started over at ProgressiveU.org, where I started writing as a way to win a scholarship (which I did), but by the time the contest was over I decided to take my writing in a somewhat new direction on Wordpress. I recently posted a somewhat longer version of the various transitional forms this blog has assumed during the past year for those interested, although I'm not quite sure that I would say today truly marks my 1st blogiversary. From my own perspective, I didn't get serious about science writing until just a few months ago, my efforts previously being an offloading of various opinions and tidbits of information onto the web. Whatever phylogeny of this blog is most appealing to you, however, I am certainly glad that I started writing and I surely don't intend to stop.

It seems that I'm down with the memes again, for as I was searching for some Thoughts in a Haystack I managed to once again become infected. Indeed, John has asked me to put my money where my mouth is when it comes to throwing around words like "pseudoextinction" in reference to my blog, and hence…
Is it just me, or have some science blogs been running out of steam lately? I know earlier this year we had a number of people (either on their blogs or privately) express that they were considering giving up blogging to concentrate on other things. I haven't been paying attention for that long,…
On May 17 I'll be hosting the 20th edition of The Boneyard, but rather than just collecting a group of links from whatever might happen to pop up on the web I've decided to do something a little different. I want to run a contest for anyone who might be interested, and the theme of the competition…
Long before I signed up with ScienceBlogs.com I started blogging on the website ProgressiveU.org as part of the "Blogging For Progress" scholarship contest. I was one of the winners selected for the fall of 2006, and some of the folks at ProgressiveU recently caught up with me about what I have…

Happy blogiversary. Blog about Creationism and Evolution more. I've been visiting your blog for a couple at least a month now I think. It all started with because PZ Myers referred to your article on the history of human evolution. Very interesting.

Thanks Bora and Skeptic! I'll try to write more about creationism & evolution a bit more, Skeptic, although so many of the arguments creationists use have been refuted over and over again that I don't want to merely repeat what everyone else has said (and I think that the actual science being done in zoology/paleontology is more interesting). Still, I'll keep scanning the AiG homepage and keeping my eyes peeled for creationist drivel that I can turn into a good blog post.

Happy Blogiversery! Heres hoping you have many more!
