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: American White Pelican. Last life bird: Indian Peafowl. Last life bird (excluding naturalized exotics): Whooper Swan.

Radio

Long a fascination...

Computing

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

MaineSat

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

Nature

Beyond birds, I'm attracted to butterflies, jumping spiders, pretty flowers, and whatever else catches my eye. iNaturalist comes in handy.

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. Like Pandora's Box of Troubles.

Genealogy

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

Blogging

My first blog post was on Blogger in 2005. I wandered from there, returned, and eventually decided to shift to a static site generator. Eleventy looked 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."
