I’m Jonathan Crowe. I’m the author of The Map Room, a blog about maps; DFL, a blog about last-place finishes at the Olympics; and Gartersnake.info, a website about garter snakes. This is my personal website: it has my blog and pages about astronomy and reptiles, among other interests. When I’m not blogging, writing, or correcting other people’s grammar, I raise snakes, play the piano, and look through my telescope.
I live in Shawville, Quebec, with my partner, Jennifer Seely, and our cats, our box turtle, and our dwindling menagerie of aging snakes.
