Wunderkammer

Things Magazine referenced this blog and called it “one of those wunderkammerblogs”. I like German composite words and I looked up Wunderkammer and found that it means:

Cabinets of curiosities (also known as Wunderkammer or wonder-rooms) were collections of types of objects we now regard as quite separate, but whose boundaries were in the Renaissance yet to be defined (Wikipedia).

I always thought that this was a personal blog used to keep in touch with friends. Most of my readers know me outside the blog, although lately I have had many readers that I don’t know.

So just for everyone’s future reference, Wanderings is a persönlichwunderkammerblog.
