The Bad Astronomer has just launched a really cool new community website called AstronomyBuzz. Designed as a new community for astronomy enthusiasts, it offers members a way to publish, share and embed content related to astronomy.
My first impression was that it looked like a Digg for astronomy, and that can only be a good […]

I’ve decided to start a new category designed to help my readers get the word out about things that interest them in astronomy. I realize this blog isn’t the most widely read astronomy blog, but at least I’m relatively accessible and am very interesting providing my readers with a blog they can use.

Have you voted in my poll? No? That means you can’t see the results showing that just as many people don’t give a sh*t whether Pluto is called a planet as there are people that do.

I belong ot a group of people who have set a very high bar: the b5media bloggers. From the beginning, they have welcomed and encouraged some nobody off the street (that’s me), that he could do this blogging thing. Thanks so much to all of you. I’ll do everything I can to […]

Ever since I found out that I was going to become one of b5media’s bloggers, I started reading as many blogs as I had time for in order to get a feel for what others were doing. I wanted to establish some sort of standard that defined what I considered a good blog to […]

One of my favorite things to do when I discover a new blog is to read the very first post. Sometimes, it takes quite a bit of effort to find it. I mean, usually you have to select the earliest month listed in the archives, then keep hitting ‘Earlier Posts’ until you finally get […]
