Origins of this & related Websites & Other Techy Stuff by the Author

William Dudley Bass on Earth at the Brink arose from the merger of two earlier websites and in some ways a third. This all began in November 2006 as a homework project for a year-long psychospiritual counseling practicum I was in near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I was a middle-aged student back those days. At the time my fellow students and I used Blogger to create and post our essays and insights. Blogger is a personal-website public-publishing platform bought out by Google (itself owned by Alphabet) in 2003. Google hosts the blogs as well as blogspot.com.

Years later, however, I wish I could change the name as “Earth at the Brink” sounds so damn dire. Yet things are dire for humanity! Back in the beginning here marketing gurus were conflicted on whether or not to attach one’s personal name. Those advocating for fast marketing identities, declaring using one’s personal name has little to do with ego, won out back in those earlier times.

Regardless of changes in naming conventions, my first website was called, Cultivate and Harvest. Felt Inspired by my agricultural roots and how I often approach things in life. It’s still up. Anyone can find them online at http://cultivateandharvest.blogspot.com. My last post there was around the Autumn Equinox in September 2011. I no longer update or comment there. All writings and fotos published there were transferred here where they were revised, updated, and republished.
