I’m experimenting with other social media spaces. I’ve been on Facebook and Twitter for a while and am now branching out to Tumblr and Pinterest. These other social media sites complement my blog but will not duplicate it. I hope you’ll join me on your favorite site or leave a comment about someone I should [...]

Updates to the extended blogroll
Posted in Administrivia on February 20, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I’ve done my regularly quarterly update to my extended blogroll to reflect the new blogs in my feed reader. But this quarter, there are also new categories as some of the originals (e.g.”paleo & low-carb” or “policy & real food”) were less than ideal. I’m always looking for good reads, so please feel free to [...]
Weight hedgehog? Or fox?

Those of you who’ve never checked out my About page have probably missed the story of why I chose the name Weight Maven for this blog. Well, one reason is that Yoni Freedhoff already had the name Weighty Matters taken ;. So I chose Weight Maven after remembering a quote from Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping [...]

I’ve gone ahead and created a WeightMaven channel on YouTube. Later this year, I’ll be uploading some of my own videos; for now, I’ve created some playlists with the videos I find I’m linking to time and time again. Check it out … and let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!!
Weight Maven now on Facebook!

Well, it seems that more and more of my favorite reads are participating on Facebook (like the Healthy Skeptic and the Nutrition Diva), some of whom are using the latter for comments about their blog posts. So I’ve gone ahead and created a Facebook page for Weight Maven, mostly so that I can participate as [...]
New extended blogroll!
Posted in Administrivia on March 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Woo hoo … I’ve finally found a tool that converts my Google Reader feed subscriptions into an HTML list! Why would I want this? Because I read many, many great blogs that haven’t made it onto the blogroll on the right nav. For one, it’s a bit of a hassle to enter them via WordPress, [...]

Yeesh, sorry for the prolonged absence! Have dusted off the Twitter account, am getting caught up on my feed reader, and will be posting more here soon. Thanks for your patience!
Added a blogroll

Well, in the spirit of better late than never, Steve Parker’s recent post about updating his blogroll got me thinking I needed to launch a new blogroll to go with the new blog (former blogroll was pretty much all politics and user experience design). I did a count, and I’m following about 150 blogs on [...]
Ball-slapping A for effort!

One of the perils of blogging is having to deal with blog spam from people wanting to increase their page rank with search engines. Most of it is automated; a lot of it comes from non-English speakers. Every once in a while though, you get a real pearl, like: When I found this I had [...]
IDblog is now Weight Maven
Posted in Administrivia on January 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Back in late November, I brought IDblog back from Google Siberia (read: blacklist) and announced that my focus going forward was going to change. My blog posts, like my tweets, were going to be less about information design (IDblog’s original focus) and politics (a recent focus) and more about my upcoming studies in public health [...]
