Mesozoic Mind

Yes, this blog is still going on. Here's an assemblage of all the video-based palaeomemes i've made to tide you over:

Well its been a long hard year at Mesozoic Mind, ending in climate change-incuded bad weather, and I have not made as much as I would have liked. Intrusive thoughts were a big problem for me all the while. I started college in September, so that pretty much put a damper on this blog too. You can tell I've had other projects too the way quality tapers as it goes on. Trying to get two per month like I wanted was a bad idea. It wasn't all bad though. I visited the Redpath Museum and did not disappoint, and revisited the Field Museum. I do hope to resume this blog, if sparingly. I've got a few in the pipeline ready to restart. And in fact, next year i'm going to Alberta, meaning I hopefully will see the Royal Tyrell Museum, the Mecca of canadian palaeontology. See ya soon... hopefully.

  Happy Valentines Day from Mesozoic Mind! As a gift to pass on, have this hastily-made image I made in Pixelr! Share this duo of the tooth taxon Cardiodon (who's name means Heart Tooth) to your loved ones And yes, I am still around. I swear I'll have a review up by the end of the month.

With  Eyewitness: Prehistoric Life  we began the year, and with  Eyewitness: Prehistoric Life  we end it Well, it's the lasr day of the 2023 CE, and I've had a long one. It's been a long year that saw all sorts of new discoveries in palalaeontology, from the tiny to the tiny jellyfish  Burgessomedusa to the giant Perucetus , and of course, new Palaeo-media come out. I've seen everything from games to TV series and books, to films, but mostly new documentaries, from awe-inspiring Prehistoric Planet season 2, to the big pile of okay that was Life on our Planet , to the atrocious cheap cash-in that was "Frynosaurs" . No matter what they were, I feel spoiled by how so much new stuff we got. Truly I'm living in a golden age not seen since the early 2000's (same time I was born in fact). I've written a lot of blog posts this year, and reached some record views too by legitimate means this time. More notably, I made several trips, most prominently to Chi...

Well, it's been a long year full of eventful crap in real life and online, not all of it good, but I persevered through it and refused to let it affect me. All aided by a very good year for palaeo-media, including yes, the debut of the seminal  Prehistoric Planet , probably the biggest thing in palaeo-media since the Trilogy of Life, as well as Jurassic Park ending its current chapter (no it's not ending - I highly doubt Universal will have that). And quite a few palaeo-documentaries have also been announced for next year, so things are looking up. The most beutiful thing a content creator can see I hit new highs, in views, output, and writing, with Mesozoic Mind seeing views into the 1000s in a month, a rarity here, while views for pages hsve also soared, including one of my proudest achievements this year, The Stratigraphy of Palaeo-Media . I started social accounts on Twitter and Mastodon and even my own Discord server to promote the blog and expand viewership, all without ...

Well, to all those who've stuck around to read it since March, the year is closing with the "Happy" Holidays behind us and the New Year of MMXXII soon to come, and I've completed the first one of Mesozoic Mind . It's been a great time here and have had a good time writing them, if sporadically and unfocused (I'll work on that). I'll be honest, I admit that last point has definitely been a problem when writing, causing works to be delayed a bit more then I wanted, unable to write full paragraphs at a time. But still, when I can do it, I can write a lot, and I love doing so. It also has helped me get more, read more, and bond with my mother. Doesn't help on the subject of unfocused that the December schedule was skreonked up by my mother's chemo (now you know about that), hence why the Dawn of Life review was delayed by weeks, and reviews I had planned are now in January, and I'm still annoyed at it. But enough grumbling. If I had to rank my fav...
