New Hampshire State of Mind

New Hampshire State of Mind is a new blog (July 2006) with edgy, honest commentary from a Bedford New Hampshire resident in the technology industry.

This blog is brand spanking new, and has a clean look. Topics vary between humor and seriousness, and from local to international.

I especially enjoyed "Massachusetts v New Hampshire - It's Emblematic" which goes into great detail regarding Massachusett's 47 symbols and emblems to New Hampshire's "mere 16."

Definitely a blog to bookmark, and return to...

New Hampshire Nature Notes by Eric Orff

Eric Orff, a certified wildlife biologist for the NH Fish and Game Department, author, lecturer, and photographer has been blogging at "New Hampshire Nature Notes" for the past three years, about what New Hampshire's very own Mother Nature is up to. He has also been doing radio PSAs (public service announcements) about wildlife for the state of New Hampshire.

His weekly blog entries describe what is outside your window, with a naturalist's slant. He speaks honestly about the impact of human interaction on the world around us. There is a mix of joy and sadness in the facts that he shares, and the secrets of the animal kingdom are revealed.

From the fate of tiny brook floater mussels, to the current population of New Hampshire's moose, this blog is full of fun and fascinating information, and gorgeous photographs.

A great read for everyone.

The only negative is that this is a diary page on a regular web site (i.e. no automatic posting of reader comments). But I'm sure if you have a comment or question, use Eric's very handy email address at the top of the page, and he will accomodate you.

Orion Rising - Diary of A New Life

The blogger of Orion Rising is actually Orion's dad aka Pavel Cenkl of Bethlehem New Hampshire. While raising his son (Orion of course), he manages to teach and write.

Since December of 2004 he has posted frequent stories and photographs. An obviously adoring parent, Pavel's thoughtful and lovely stories are well worth reading.

Eye candy that makes you smile.

Bogieblog--The Life and Times of Bogie

Bogie (of Bogieblog) and her Wonderful Spouse live in a small town in New Hampshire.

A veteran blogger (with archives back to January of 2002), she has a great sense of humor (her recent post about surviving the heat is a hoot).

Her posting categories are eclectic, running the gamut of At Home, Cooking, and even Cursed. ("If anything worked in the Bogie household, the first time and the way it was supposed to work, I would die of freaking amazement."

This is a diary with an attitude.
