Content Roundup: February 2012 has a Leap Day

Usually one tries to jazz up these “roundup” or “wrap-up” posts with some sort of unifying theme or lesson.  But I’m afraid February is a short month, and it was short of obvious unifying themes as well.

Ah well.

Anyway, if you were busy during February (as I was) and missed some of the action during the month, here’s a way to catch up. Herein are links to all the content I’ve been involved with in the last month. It includes this blog as well as the material I post on other blogs, my podcasting activities, my best posts on Twitter as well as key shout-outs or mentions elsewhere.

I’m also trying to document on a monthly basis what my contributions are to several skeptic-relevant crowdsourcing projects. The reason for all that will become more obvious later in the year, when I reveal the results of some super-secret projects I have in the works.

But meanwhile, read on to see what you might have missed…

Crowdsourcing Contributions

Here were my contributions to various projects this month:

I contributed 56 edits to Wikipedia.

I rated 3 sites on Web of Trust and but left no site scorecard comments.

I made 10 edits to the Skeptic History database. It now has 1410 items.

On to March.

12:40pm EST: Updated to include the two leap day skeptic histories.

    Love secret projects! Always gives me hope that someone else has something good up their sleeve. Makes me start thinking about what I should be working on too.
