Boing Boing Museum

Boing Boing is the big boy and girl on the block in blogging, there’s no two ways about it.

In an article in today’s New York Times entitled “Nerd Chic Arrives on TV” by David Carr, it is noted that Boing Boing is expanding to television broadcasts via the internet, spurred on by the talented Xeni Jardin.

But what Boing Boing, created by Mark Frauenfelder, does just with their blog is already rather amazing. According to that article: “Boing Boing has become one of the five most visited blogs on the Web, according to Comscore, with a monthly traffic of about 7.5 million page views a month. According to Google, more than 600,000 sites link to the site, making it a maypole for technologists around the world.”

Now that’s major and magical impact, if you ask me. It is therefore nice to have friends at Boing Boing, and I wanted to mention and thank David Pescovitz for his fantastic presentation today on the International Cryptozoology Museum story.

Pescovitz does a wonderful job of introducing the story with this: “Our pal Loren Coleman’s Portland, Maine home-office doubles as the International Cryptozoology Museum, a literal cabinet of curiosities devoted to ‘hidden animals’ and oddities related to his Fortean passions. The Lewiston Sun Journal’s Kathryn Skelton paid a visit to the museum and documented the experience with a wonderful article, photos, and audio clips.”

Boing Boing, an adventure on the web, gets to the point and shares the first wave of tomorrow. It’s great cryptozoology can be in their mix too.

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
