Good reads on my other blogs: March 2010 edition

Here’s what’s popular on my other blogs for the past month.

Over on my cooking blog, readers seem to be interested in learning how to reheat foods without a microwave. I gave up my microwave and highly recommend it. Oh, the freedom! And the counter space!

With the Large Hadron Collider back in the news, folks have been checking out my Large Hadron Collider reading list and associated links on my books blog. Also handy for Flashforward fans, if there are any.

The Large Hadron Collider doesn’t seem like it will destroy the world (yet), but if that kind of thing interests you, check out artists’ conceptions of major cities after the apocalypse on my empty earth blog.

Around this here blog, readers are digging my Google Buzz tips. I explain how to post privately on Buzz and how to address your posts to specific people so they will appear in their Gmail inboxes.

Finally, the strangest search term bringing someone to my blogs was “dinosaurs nose.” Feel free to adopt that as your band name. And you’re welcome.

Themed reading lists: Reading about the apocalypse and immortality

Posted on February 22, 2010 | 1 Comment

I have been having fun writing and posting themed reading lists on my book review blog, Books Worth Reading, and they have proved to be popular. Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations has reprinted a couple of the lists, which I am now sharing with you: These Books Will Help You Survive After an Apocalypse and I Want to Live Forever: An Immortality Reading List

Also see: An Empty Earth: Notes on the apocalypse and The endless quest to live forever

Good reading on my blogs: January 2010

Here’s a taste of what’s popular on my other blogs this month:

On my books blog, folks seems to be enjoying What Now? A Post-apocalyptic Reading List. I guess it’s those winter blues spurring them to read depressing novels about the end of the world (they’re my favorites too!). In fact, several people got to the list after searching for “how to rebuild society after the apocalypse.” I’m glad somebody is thinking ahead.

If you’re interested in the apocalypse, you might want to check out An Empty Earth, which is essentially my research notebook where I mix together a soup of vaguely apocalyptic thoughts, links and other resources. The Ruins of Detroit is a popular example.

Here, you guys seems to be enjoying learning how to give Google Wave invitations and how to create a GTD project list. (Does anybody actually use Google Wave? Because I haven’t found a use for it.) I have posts that are so much more entertaining, but the public likes what it likes, I guess.

I’m skipping my cooking blog, because it’s always the same posts that are popular (their titles are so Google-able).
