Check out this link for a list of blogging pathologies, as supplied by Velcro City Tourist Board. I do not fully exhibit most of these, but a few ring uncomfortably close. Notably the reading aspects, not the writing ones.

Peter Jackson = LotR? Maybe…
Three times in 12 hours, I’ve been spammed by a Save The Lord of the Rings post relating that only Peter Jackson could possibly do a movie based on The Hobbit. Obviously this took a bit of time to ramp up, because, as you can see from this website it’s been a week since The …
Seen on an Atlanta Highway
Recently I was doing fieldwork and I snapped this picture. Would you trust this clown with your child? I wouldn’t.
On Tangents and Other Necessary Brain Cleansers
Frequent readers will realize that not much has occurred on this blog for the past month or so. There’s been some spats, but not vast torrents like today.

Excellent Website
Cleaning out the “to be posted” file… I’ve spent the past week or so perusing the pages on this website. Most are strangely amusing.

He plans to present at MLA concerning this experiement. Having been to MLA as the husband of a participant, I fully endorse supporting this project and …
Finally, A freaky-weird scheme I can get behind

The Science The Global Consciousness Project (http://noosphere.princeton.edu), Princeton University, runs a network of Random Event Generators (REGs) around the world, which record changes in randomness during global events. I need to set up some “random event generators” in my own house. Oh wait! I already have …

Forsooth! It is Book!
As only a ten-question quiz can do, it has summarized my life down to the last string of vestigal DNA. I feel complete and without any more purpose. What Kind of Reader Are You? Your Result: Dedicated Reader You are always trying to find the time to get back to your book. You are convinced …
