what this blog is here for: also, what’s happening to the weekly posts

Mennonite Monday, Didache Tuesday, Augsburg Wednesday, Hebrew Thursday, Deuterocanonical Friday — I’m doing away with all of them. It’s not that they were entirely worthless. It’s that when I realize I’m doing something counter-productive, it is my general policy to stop. I realized this about Monday today, but it took a few days to verbalize [...]

hebrew thursday: genesis 2:4 – 2:25

Hebrew Thursday completely slipped my mind yesterday. I’ve made it an iron-clad rule that running this blog must not interfere with my non-internet life. So if some friends want to hang out and talk politics, no Hebrew Thursday. I spend a lot of time working on internet stuff, but I simply will not have it [...]

A new record

During the month of March, this blog was accessed by 3220 different computers. That, over the previous record of 3050 [1], means that over the last two months 170 new people have seen this blog. Well, really we’ve had 170 more new people than however many people I’ve lost. But it’s progress, and for that [...]

february — a record-breaking month, barely

My readers — whom I firmly believe are one of the above-average readerships out there, contributing insightful and thoughtful comments regularly — have helped this blog break yet another record. This month, we’ve reached an all-time high for daily ‘files’, according to my stats, with a whopping 1917 files per day, over the previous record [...]

my apologies

You may have noticed, gentle readers, that this little blog was down for a bit earlier today. I hope that didn’t inconvenience you too much. It was a technical problem that I was unable to solve but seems to have gone away on its own. Related Posts:what this blog is here for: also, what’s happening [...]

just do it

I’ll admit it — I’ve become somewhat interested in keeping up with my statistics on this site. Maybe it’s because I’m vain. Maybe it’s because I’m genuinely interested in figuring out how best to reach the maximum number of people with ideas that I think are important. I dunno. But my obsession with stats has [...]

one of the great things about technological change

The world has been transformed in the last few hundred years, largely through the more efficient transfer of information.  This includes the printing of books, the establishment of university systems, the leisure time created by industrialization’s eight-hour workday, radio, television, and perhaps most importantly, the internet and cell phones.  A result of the march of [...]

ta ta for now

It’s become clear to me that my constant thinking up of topics to put on the blog is unsustainable. Lately I’ve been squeezing out a lot of posts.  Several per day.  And that in itself is, I hope, not a bad thing.  The dialogue has been fascinating, and writing down thoughts has forced me to [...]

abc cut — score one for blogging

Story here. ABC is replacing a bunch of traditional journalists with journalists expected to produce their own material and rely it by computer.  That’s because internet-based news is way better than the printed stuff.  Related Posts:what this blog is here for: also, what’s happening to the weekly postshebrew thursday: genesis 2:4 – 2:25Blogger is downA [...]
