I’m starting a new feature on my blog called the Project Roundup.
I keep a handful of blogs on different subjects. Before, I would have them syndicate that content here into this blog as a way of making Highmoon’s Pondering an all-things-me clearing house. Problem is, I find that tactic ends up diluting this blog’s content. The Roundup is a way of keeping this blog a central info place for all the stuff I’m doing without the clutter of syndicated posts.
The Project Roundup will be done on a weekly to bi-weekly basis, depending on how much content there is on the other blogs.
Due to dealing with family issues that had me spending a lot of time in Puerto Rico, I’ve not been on the bike almost at all this year (attending the last Bike Miami Days in May being the big exception). That changes today.
I’m heading out now to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami to attend BikeTown Miami, sponsored by Bicycling Magazine and the City of Miami. Bikes will be given out and raffled, and we’ll celebrate biking in the city. I only wish (so fervently) that my wife was coming along.
I’ll post a review of the event later on. Now, it’s back on the bike again!
As being reported on cycling blogs all over the Miami area, Bike Miami Days has set its date for the third event.
Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 18, 2009 for Bike Miami Days 3 (Tokyo Drift or The Search for Spock, you pick).
Also, Mike Lydon of TransitMiami.com has written an excellent Op-Ed piece titled “What a Difference a Year Makes”, chronicling the incredible strides the City of Miami has taken over the last year to turn itself into a bike-friendly place.
Mike submitted the article to the Miami Herald, but given they have not published it (the Herald has been downright horrible about helping to promote bike-friendly news, including Bike Miami Days), he put out via his column at Planetizen.com.
Go and read the article and be sure to join us in January for more Bike Miami Days.
I have joined Metblogs, a network of city-focused blogs for a number of metropolitan areas around the world. My friend Patricia is a contributor for the Seattle Metblogs and that kinda gave me the impetus to do the same in my own city. Given how the Miami Metblogs was downright suffering for lack of content (the last non-news post was in March 08) I decided this would be a great way for me to connect more with my hometown and a way to talk about the city aside from the topic of cycling, which I already cover in my Slow Bike Miami Beach blog (though I also expect to cover some cycling stuff on Metblogs as well).
So drop by Miami Metblogs and check out whatever I end up writing about there (and hopefully we’ll have more contributors joining up soon as well). You can check out my Author Profile page which includes links to articles written by me, or go to the front page and see what’s going on.
I have decided to move all my cycling activity to its own blog, Slow Bike Miami Beach.
I will continue to syndicate those posts to this site, but having it as a separate entity will also allow me to target local blogrolls and groups, providing a site that Miami readers can tune into without the extra content about games, podcasts, etc. that is very much a part of my general blog.
I have more such organizational news to share later, once things are in place.
