I have done a modest amount of online writing in several blogs and forums over the years, mainly in 2006-2007. Here is a summary of that writing. The views expressed may not always reflect my current views.
I currently write for the website FutureChallenges. My articles there are:
* US 2010 Elections: Bleak Prospects For Climate Change (pdf), published 20 October 2010
* Urban Gentrification In The United States (pdf), published 1 December 2010
* American Democracy And Global Climate Change, published 18 August 2011
* Activist Fatigue In The United States And The Arab World, published 18 August 2011
My main online project has been Felicifia, an online community discussing the ethics of utilitarianism and related topics. The term "Felicifia" is an adaptation of "felicific calculus", a term that Jeremy Bentham used to describe the analysis that a utilitarian would use for evaluating possible actions. I originally launched Felicifia at felicifia.blogspot.com; see this for a summary. That site helped me connected with David Pearce, Jason Matheny, and Alan Dawrst. Together we launched felicifia.com using the SoapBlox platform to make it more of a community site. As traffic at felicifia.com slowed down, the community, lead by Ryan Carey and others (some of whom write anonymously), decided to switch to a forum format, which was established at felicifia.org. felicifia.com has since been converted to a wiki. felicifia.org is what currently (as of 18 Aug 2011) hosts the active online utilitarianism community. All are welcome.
I have also written at a few other websites:
* I wrote about 15 blog posts to DailyKos, including a series on human extinction. DailyKos covers many topics but is primarily a partisan political site. My views are ultimately grounded in ethics, not politics, but I consider politics to be nonetheless important.
* I wrote three posts at the blog Ecology and Economics: see this, this, and this.
* I wrote one post at the SIAI blog: see this.
* Finally, when I was living in Boston, I participated in the archboston.org forum under the name quadratdackel.
