Susan's blog: Waffles for dinner

Susan wanted her blog to be referenced on Voice of Bainbridge. Visit it and find good recipes. Above, hot chili for cold days.

Writer's rainbow by Tamara Kaye Sellman

I just discovered the blog Writer's rainbow by visiting the site of Bainbridge's parks and recreation. Plenty of good advice and information for people who love/want to write.

Minnie Rose's Chickens and Life

I had to go to bed but that looks very interesting :)

168 blogs from Bainbridge on blogspot

Too many to visit (and present) now. Enjoy Diane Walker's texts and photographs on As the spit turns and Contemplative photographer. Or the blak and whites by Joel Sackett on Close to home.

Welcome also to Kathe Fraga

Kathe has started a PI Blog: Notes from an island.

Bye Wendy, Welcome Jessica

Wendy Wallace has decided to stop writing for her blog Bainbridge Breezes (hosted by the Seattle PI).
She has found a replacement: Jessica Star Rockers

Jessica also has a personal site as does Wendy: Let the dog in!

New blog on the block: Island Ashley

Island Ashley is in love with life on Bainbridge Island (picture of Orion the owl taken by Island Ashley at the farmer's market)

Bainbridge Notebook by Althea Paulson

Althea Paulson who co-published the Buzz is back with a blog, Bainbridge Notebook. I liked her pictures of the eclipse.
Good to have you back Althea :)

Sorta Live by Rick Gordon

Ed Hager tells me about this new Bainbridge blog by Rick Gordon. I liked Rick's pictures on Flickr. Like this one from Jefferson County Fair :)

Bainbridge bloggers: +2

Bainbridge Bulletin and On a ledge (the view of Progressive Kid). Enjoy both :)

State of the blogs on Bainbridge: a lot of disappearances and one new blog

Making Trouble is now only open to invited readers so I am going to remove it from the list.

Bainbridge Island Arts Discussion did not take off (last post in 2006) so I am also removing it.

The same goes for Bainbridge Trees.

Bill Branley's ferry tale is over as well.

The Buzz has folded and has totally terminated its internet presence: why kill the archives?

The picture I took from the Roe Day Oh blog (thanks a lot).

Save Winslow Way

Save Winslow Way has a blog with key pictures for downtown's future and a petition to sign.

Welcome to Green Voices for Bainbridge Island

Green Voices For Bainbridge Island is a new site devoted to environmental issues. I discovered them via Rachel Pritchett's article in the Bainbridge Islander (print) but it is also in her blog: thank you Rachel :)
The Green Voices site includes a very sobering assessment of the total neglect of our elected elected officials and of the people who have been in charge of open space toward parks in Winslow. It's probably because most of them don't live downtown. Disastrous non planning and missed opportunities. A very different view from the usual fuzzy congratulatory articles about the pseudo wonderful work of the open space commission.

Bye Bye Buzz?

The working bees at the Buzz are saying bye, bye :(
Many thanks and congratulations for your excellent work. I hope we -as a community- can find a sustainable way to use the internet to report about what's going on beyond what can be produced by the usual mainstream media.

Blog Fatigue?

Patricia teases me about not posting frequently on VoB while I am pointing to groups who are not posting. She is right that I have been posting much less on VoB, for a lot of reasons, including the fact that I am maintaining several blogs professionally so I tend to try to limit the time (huge already) that I spend in front of the screen.

Happy Birthday Blogfish!

It was a year ago that Mark started blogfish. Congratulations :)
I wish there was more mainstream information about the state of the oceans.
Maybe Mark could have a regular chronicle on NPR? After all Audubon sponsored Birdnote. When are we going to get a daily serving of fish radio?

The Blog That Didn't

Arts and Humanities :(

Spartan Sports in a blog

Thank you Jay for pointing us to Spartan Sports in Review: "All the news, recaps, play-by-play and other content involving the Bainbridge Spartan sports scene that won't fit in the pages of the Review. Written by Review staff writer John Becerra, Jr. "
I think it is the first blog from the Review. Maybe not the last?

Gallery Fraga: blog + podcast

Gallery Fraga opened a blog and podcasts. I love the idea. Remember the interviews of artists on Voice of Bainbridge? Unfortunately most of the recordings are now unavailable since the server where they were stored closed down... You can listen to the artist talking about her work: great :)

Rachel enters the blogosphere

Rachel Pritchett, reporter for the Bainbridge Islander has started a blog: Bainbridge conversation.
Good for you Rachel and welcome in the world of blogs.
Since you know I had asked for a long time that the Kistap Sun starts blogging I congratulate you for being the first to do it or are there other new bloggers among the Sun's journalists?
The next step will be for you to start podcasting as already do many journalists: since they -often- carry a recorder and do record interviews, why not share them with the public via podcasting?
Voice of Bainbridge has done it since its creation: I think it would be a great added value to your blog and your reporting. May I also suggest that you start using a digital camera? A blog with picture is infinitely more engaging.
