New Site: AstronomyBuzz

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 […]

Carnival of Space

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.
So, with […]

It’s a Dead Heat: People are Split About Pluto

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 don’t care what we call Pluto, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s out there and that […]

It’s Reader Appreciation Day at AstronomyBuff

The idea is get scientists, science bloggers and writers to provide a week of hard science information, with little attention taken up by addressing pseudo-science issues that dominate our time:

The Worst Astronomy Picture of 2006

I’m a contrarian. I don’t like to do things the way everyone else does them, it’s a character flaw, I guess. Lately I’ve been getting bombarded with advice from blogs I’ve been reading and other bloggers I communicate with on how to blog whenever the new year comes along.
Apparently, I’m supposed to come […]

Well, enough about me. What do you think of me?

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 […]

The one post you’ll probably never see

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 […]
