Thanks for the Kind Words

February 8th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Collaboration, Content, Community

I wanted to mention that I’ve gotten a few compliments on the blog over the past week or so. I’ve actually been making a concerted effort to post more stuff this year as sort of a new year’s resolution, so the kind words are really appreciated. Thanks!

I should mention that I’ve started a couple of other blogs this year as well. One is going to remain anonymous because it’s deeply sick easily misunderstood. It’s something my wife came up with about six years ago and we’ve played around with on and off since then. If you know us, you have probably already seen the new incarnation of the blog. If you don’t know us and are curious (it is sort of a celebrity satire site), drop me an email or a comment and I’ll shoot you the address.

The other blog is for the kids, and it’s called Kid Scientist. The idea is to take the talks that Celeste and I have on the way to school each morning (which, 95% of the time, are about science, and always stem from her questions about science and the natural world) and commit them to a blog for other kids to benefit from. The blog is written in language that a 6-9 year old should understand, but we pull no punches — yesterday we had a fun talk about cadavers, for example. Once I get a full head of steam going I will post The Truth About Cavemen, which is a favorite recurring discussion.

    I really like your Kid Scientist blog. I especially like the fact that it is aimed at my grand daughter, whom (not only love greatly) but want to be the smartest kid in the neighborhood. Keep up the good work.

    John
