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.

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,…
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…
You may have noticed a couple of days ago that Caryn Shechtman posted an interview with me on the New York blog on Nature Network. Then, Caryn and Erin and I thought it might be a good idea to have the entire interview reposted here, for those who missed it. So, proceed under the fold: 1. What is…
Blogs, as Carl Zimmer astutely noted at this year's ScienceOnline conference, are software. Despite all the hand-wringing over whether science bloggers can or should replace science journalists the fact of the matter is that science blogs are the independent expressions of a variety of writers…

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!
