In the beginning it was Ted and me. Or so I believed. We were the only ones. But I was wrong.
A year ago, I could count the number of island bloggers I knew on one hand. Now, thanks in part to the Technorati feed Mike Houser created, I have a list of two dozen, posted in the side bar of this blog and below in this post. Like rabbits, blogs seem to be reproducing rapidly on the island. So far this spring, I’ve learned of new ones each month.
Included in this bunch of bloggers are two I’m mentioning for the first time:
Beth Freeman has moved back to Bainbridge Island, after a year away. She also writes at Creating Passionate Users. I’m looking forward to getting to know her better.
Krista’s glimpses of Meadowbrook Farm include beautiful photographs. She’s done a great job in her first month of posting daily and educating readers on a variety of plants. I learned a lot!
Congratulations to Adrian and Sarah who graduate today from Bainbridge High School! Yesterday’s Bainbridge Islander featured six graduates, including these two.
I’ll be sending out via email some ideas for plans for blogger get-togethers this summer…in the meantime, we can read and try to keep up with each other…enjoy!

Wow! That’s a lot! It’s more bloggers than I know of in Watertown (who at least self-identify as living here). How many people live on Bainbridge?

A new higly informative website is http://www.bainbridgehistorians.org. The site is dedicated to historical accuracy around events before after President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. Given the national meltdown that occured with the controversial curriculum of Sonji Sakai Middle School covered in the LA Times, Seattle Times, NPR All Things Considered, KUOW, and Manichi Times of Tokyo, this is an important local/national issue. Give this site a review. It is also tied into discussion about the appropriateness and focus of the $8M Japanese-Americian Internment Memorial and funding by National Parks Service to the tune of $1.4M plus $200K recurring funding.
