Topics of Particular Interest

Whether currently thriving or long since kaput, these things have held my attention for a span.

Birds

Spark bird: Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Favorite bird: Volant. Last state bird: White-faced Ibis. Last life bird: Indian Peafowl. Last life bird (excluding naturalized exotics): Whooper Swan.

Radio

Long a fascination...

MaineSat

mainesat.org was inspired by the development of Maine's first CubeSat and remains the best source of information on it.

Computing

What is. What might have been. What will be. Beep boop bop.

Nature

Beyond birds, I know a little about this and that. Sometimes I use iNaturalist for identification and recordkeeping.

Weather

I started contributing precipitation reports to the CoCoRaHS program on New Year's Day 2017. I'm still at it.

Geocaching / Letterboxing

Seeking hidden treasure.

Genealogy

I'm a Richardson. To dig deeper, the door is ajar to our online genealogical closet.

Blogging

I started using Blogger in 2005, made forays into Textpattern and Drupal, returned to the behemoth, poked at Bootstrap, then homed in on static site generators. Eleventy, welcoming and actively maintained, seemed manageable. So far, it is.

DotME Media

Envisioned as a Maine family of community-based independent information sources, piloted with berwick.me, and eventually jettisoned. "I learned a lot."
