My Blogging



I am an avid and active blogger. That is, perhaps, to the detriment of my other work. My office is not as crowded as my AI-created illustration above - but my wife would say it is close to being accurate.  

Most of my blogging currently can be found on these other blogs:

Weekends in Paradelle has posts every weekend from my online sanctuary about topics that I am just thinking about, or about writing, things I am doing (or would like to do), health, things I am listening to, many, many observations (including celestial observation like Full Moons), thoughts on what I am reading, and things I am looking at virtually or otherwise.

Endangered New Jersey is my blog that focuses on the parts of New Jersey that are threatened or endangered. This is particularly about fish and wildlife, but also about natural spaces, historic preservation and the environment of our densely populated and wildly diverse state. This blog grew out of my thirty years of volunteer work for the NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife.

Serendipity35 is where I started blogging in 2006. It gets the highest number of readers every month. It has my thoughts about learning and technology and the places where they intersect.

As part of my own life in poetry, I blog about poetry at Poets Online which is a companion blog to my PoetsOnline.org site that I have been doing since 1998.

In 2014, I did a daily poem project called Writing the Day. It has 365 poems from that year all written in the ronka poetry form. Since then, I have continued writing there, but more like a weekly practice. It also spawned a podcast version of the poems. It may have some of the shortest podcast episode ever.

My personal fascination with the etymology of words and the origins of names led me to start a blog called Why Name It That? which looks at the origins of the names of people, products, teams, words, phrases. The most popular category is the names of rock bands.
