In November 2011 I tipped my hat to my DIL for introducing me to the idea of blogging, here. At the time she was between completing an MBA and having a child. I watched as she took beautiful photos of the meals she made and then wrote about them. Her blog hasn't been updated recently and been retired, but I think we all agree she had a very busy 2013. Instead many of us receive 365 M with at least one photo or video shared daily. The change in focus is welcome.
There are others in the family who also blog and do have something worthwhile to say. Let me introduce you to these two family bloggers.
First Lee, Paul's son, has been writing about his perspectives regarding media and newspapers in the U.S. since 2009 using Wordpress. His thoughtful commentary about topics like community attachment, the demise of the newspaper, how to build your own wood desk and gripes about Internet that should be written internet, is worth the time they take to read. Lee doesn't post often, but one can tell there is a serious mind at work when his pieces are written. I admire that type of content. Check out his website here.
Second, my son Lex, has more recently taken to putting his thoughts about the type of research he's doing on a blog; check it out here. Using Blogger Lex appears to be using his blog as a repository to store research techniques, sources and equations. (Dare I assume he thought my using a blog in a similar way to track my knitting helped him decide to use his own blog regarding scientific research?). The template he uses is clear, crisp and direct, much like his writing. I find I understand what Lex is saying up the the point where he begins using graphs, equations and formulas; that's when my eyes begin to glaze over. The scientific jargon trips me up all the time as well, but I continue to try to understand despite my lack of any plant biology or gene research background because his blog gives me an unfiltered glimpse into his work world.
These blogs are a part of my list of blogs, so if months after you read this you decide to visit these intelligent blogs, you will be able to find them.
