One of the life’s pleasures is watching your kids amaze you. Translation: my daughter Amity just produced her very first brand-new weblog, “Nature is profligate“.
Amity writes about photogenic stuff, with links and photos reflecting her wide-ranging love of biology. A small sample:
This delightful creature is Bombadil, my polydactylous cat. He looks as though he has two paws (one large and one small) on each of his front feet. These paws are semi-opposable, and he does use them to grasp objects.
(If you’ve seen older versions of my blog, you’ve seen Bombadil’s brother-cat eying a plastic frog–it served as a header for all my Astroturf stories.)
If you know someone who likes biology, friendly writing, and gorgeous pictures, send that person to Amity’s weblog. But beware–I wasted a long time yesterday playing with quicktime movies of colorful octopi. The background blup-blup-blup noises are more hypnotic than little blue cocktails with paper umbrellas on top.
Anyway, thanks to Dave Winer and his Blogs at Harvard program for helping this happen!
