Year One

(-G.: The pages on this menu are legacy pages. This is what I started with. I can’t kill them because I’ve linked to them extensively. I am also not updating them, and haven’t for months.Several of our best contributors did not even make it onto the contributors page, because no time to update a goshdarn static page. And they make an interesting comparison with the new ones, if you are a social science geek. These pages are a monument. 12/16/2014)

Sourcerer is part of a collaborative blogging project which includes:

1. Part Time Monster, an (accidentally) girl-centric blog about popular culture, family and nerdy things managed by Diana. PTM is our first multi-contributor blog, and it has an impressive list of contributors.

2. Sourcerer, a blog about pop culture and other geeky stuff managed by Gene’O. Sourcerer is also designed to be a collaborative blog. We began publishing the work of contributors in January, 2014.

3. Just Gene’O, Gene’O’s personal blog where he posts photos; personal missives; and thoughts about writing, literacy, and literature.

4. Quaint Jeremy’s Thoughts, Jeremy’s personal blog where he and contributors write about nerdy things, and sometimes beer.

We are an operation of family and friends. We blog because we enjoy it, we want to learn how to build an audience for our musings, and we want to meet people who share our interests. We like to keep things loose and funny, but we do occasionally blog about political and social issues at Just Gene’O and Part Time Monster.

You can find fan pages on  Facebook for PTM, Sourcerer, and Just Gene’O.  You can find us easily on Google+. Gene’O tweets @sourcererblog; Diana tweets @parttimemonster.

Our goal is to update PTM and Sourcerer daily. Quaint Jeremy’s Thougts has its own schedule, and Just Gene’O is an occasional blog.

We enjoy awards, because they’re fun, they are a good way to make friends, we enjoy positive feedback, and we’re always grateful when someone drops a free post in our laps. In fact, we like them so much, we’re happy to nominate you for one right this minute. See the last item on our Awards page for details.
