Content Roundup for August 2012 – Dragon*Con

August didn’t offer much time to recover from The Amazing Meeting before we had to jump right into Dragon*Con. Phew, who has time to read blogs?

Here’s a way to catch up. Below are links to 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.

In an effort to practice what I preach, I’m also trying to document on a monthly basis what my contributions are to several skeptic-relevant crowdsourcing projects.

Read on to see what you might have missed…

Crowdsourcing Contributions

Here were my contributions to various projects this month:

I contributed nothing to Wikipedia.  I hang my head in shame.

I rated 19 sites on Web of Trust but left no site scorecard comments.

I made 4 edits to the Skeptic History database. It still has 1,423 items, same as last month.

I added 3 new rebuttals to RBUTR

I made 125 edits on Lanyrd, mostly Skeptrack stuff but also some remaining ‘coverage’ of TAM2012 such as videos.

And now I’m going to try to really rest!.
