Hank Green of the amazing EcoGeek blog has named me the EcoGeek of the Week, which is sort of like having Gandalf tell you that you're the Wizard of the Week. If you're interested in the inner workings of the mind behind the web marketing strategy of nature.org and gaining insight on a few parti...

Went on a Washington Photo Safari today as part of E. David Luria's "Monuments and Memorials" group. We started at the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Park (just north of the White House), then headed over to the Albert Einstein Memorial (most folks don't know it exists, even though...

Got back from a long, wonderful President's Day weekend in Portland, Oregon this afternoon. What a great trip -- we must have walked like 20 miles around town. Also re-connected with Collaine, Renee, and Cindy from Peace Corps. Is it possible to fall in love with a town? Portland was certainl...

I attended yesterday's United for Peace and Justice rally and march on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Believe it or not, this was my first major march in DC.After living here for nearly four years of the Bush Regime, that's saying something -- there's some kind of protest, march, or rally ...

When one of us wins, we all win. It's just a working theory of mine, and one that's pretty difficult to prove, I guess, at least in quantifiable metrics. But I want to believe that it's true. So when the Care2 blog Frogloop posted a story about how a Care2 member, "Dave C", scooped t...

After months of slow prep work (and many unsuccessful tries), I made the digg homepage for the first time today.I was promoting a story in the Christian Science Monitor about the increase in private land conservation from 2000 to 2005. The story had some great numbers -- 37 million acres! -- and...

It was sometime right around now that I started to cheep "Woop, woop!" whenever I got excited. As it turns out, this greatly annoyed everyone: Marja, co-workers, friends, etc. But that only made me say it more often.
