  • Preserve us from red herrings!

    Yet another gee whiz piece about blogging, this one predictably following up on the Google purchase of Pyra. Of course people are trying to commercialize blogging, which has mostly boostrapped itself from the grassroots thus far (mostly). There’s nothing wrong with that. But this article is breathless, it smacks of the mania that surrounded the…

  • Numerology on the cheap

    I really enjoyed this Pushing the Biscuit piece by our local Preacher-with-a-heart-of-gold. Also, what great readers he’s cultivated! What blogger wouldn’t envy his community?
