A very nifty idea for a blog. Uli Beutter Cohen asks people on the subway to tell her about the books they're reading.

Hairy, Naked Buds
That's what the descriptive URL for today's post on Monsters in My Backyard got shortened down to.
Wes and I are still going with the blog, though I switched to posting on Sundays to give us more time to produce the material needed. The image that Wes drew for today's post is my favorite of all the ones he's done so far.
Do have a look, won't you?

Monsters in My Backyard
So Wes and I started a blog, called Monsters in My Backyard, that combines his drawing and my writing, and we put the first post up today.
The idea is that we look at stuff from the nearby natural world, he imagines and draws a monster based on what he sees, and then I write about some of what science says is actually going on out there.
If you saw me pop up on Instagram as "monstersinmybackyard" a while back--this is what that was about. But we'd love it if you took a look if you're interested and shared it with anyone else you think might be interested, too.
Here's our first post: On Wood Decay Fungi, or, That Dying Tree Is More Alive Than You Think
And here's Wes's illustration for it:

Neuromarketing: Why Your Brain Loves Free T-Shirts
More stuff I did for work. It's pretty nice of them to let me babble on
about science all the time, considering that the company's all about
producing stress balls and pens.

I Depleted Any Ability I Have to Think About Post Titles While I Was at Work
At my new(ish) job, I'm responsible for
writing stuff, including product descriptions, social media updates, and
blog posts about topics related to the company. The first blog post
with my name on it went up this week. Have a look-see:

If the post title doesn't interest you, perhaps the fantastic image set I found for the header will:
