Site Stats
Today this site received 1,687 page views. That may be a new high. I thank you all for your patronage. Read or unread, I write on. But it is better to be read. And knowing that there are very intelligent readers out there keeps me honest and makes me work harder.

Of Blood and Blog
I don't think my experience is unusual: our blood relatives tend not to give a hoot about our blogging activities. They say blood is thicker than water, but consanguinity sure doesn't seem to translate into spiritual affinity. No matter, the community that we can't find by blood, we'll find by blog. The people who know us…

Powerblogs Finally Pulls the Plug; TypePad Rules!
It happened around 5 PM local time, yesterday, January 3rd. It was supposed to happen on the last day of November. One final bit of incompetence from the Powerblogs team: it took them over a month to shut down their server. But I used the time to capture more old posts the easy way. Yes,…

BlogWatch: Anecdotal Evidence
From the masthead: A blog about the intersection of books and life. By Patrick Kurp, Bellevue, Washington. Excerpt from a recent post: Iām reading more than at almost any time in my life but spending less time reading online. The two facts have a common source ā a festering impatience with shoddy writing. My literary…

You’re So Vain, You Prob’ly Think This Post is About You
But it isn't! Permit me to explain. I've been at the blogging game for going on six years now, and on at least a dozen occasions I have had people say or suggest that a certain post was directed at him or her. Well, we are all vain, and we all take the measure of events in…

If You Send E-Mail to a Blogger . . .
. . . bear in mind that it is liable to be posted for all the world to see. Most bloggers are permanently on the prowl for interesting 'blog fodder.' This blogger is no different. What I find interesting, what I find suits my philosophical or pedagogical or polemical purposes, is liable to be posted…

Mangan’s Blog Has Been Removed
If you try to access Dennis Mangan's weblog you receive the message: Sorry, the blog at mangans.blogspot.com has been removed. (HT: Malcolm Pollack) If you were to ask me to speculate I would say that the forces of political correctness have something to do with this. I quit using the Blogger/Blogspot platform almost six year…

Malcolm Pollack at the Gates of Vienna
Or rather, at the gates of Gotham. Malcolm writes, Upon reading your post The Left's Death Wish, I thought you might find this interesting: A Genealogy of Radical Islam. I've been contending with the liberal mindset regarding Islam over at my own place, where, for suggesting that the massacre at Ft. Hood was most likely…

Three Friends
The blogosphere has been good to me, having brought me a number of friends, some of whom I have met face to face. For now I will mention just three. Having read my announcement that PowerBlogs will be shutting down at the end of November, Keith Burgess-Jackson kindly sent me a number of unsolicited e-mails…

Note to Long-Time Readers
I have just learned that PowerBlogs will shut down permanently on 30 November 2009. Those of you who left comments at the old blog and who wish to copy them are advised to do so by the end of November. Between now and then you may expect a flurry of reposting at this site as…

Feeble Stuff
Another motto for this weblog: What I am writing here may be feeble stuff; well, then I am just not capable of bringing the big, important thing to light. But hidden in these feeble remarks are great prospects. (Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value, p. 65)

rundangerously
An interesting blog I came across while looking up some Kerouac images. From the masthead: "pain or love or danger makes you real again. … the dharma bums." By a soi-disant obsessive runner with a strong interest in the Beat Generation. May also be a chess player and a conservative as images in his sidebar…

I Must Not be a Serious Blogger
On the Typepad start-up page, there is the following come-on: Are You a Serious Blogger? Prove it. Put ads on your blog to get paid for your hard work and give it a more professional look. The underlying assumption is curious: an activity is serious if it makes make money and because it makes money;…

Dunmovin and a Blogger’s Final Post
Dunmovin is a California ghost town, now little more than a wide spot in the road on U. S. 395, one of my favorite highways. I have driven past it many a time, but never stopped to explore, not that there is much there to explore. But I thought of it today, did a search…
